Very comfortable. Age range higher than usual for backpackers, so not rowdy. Lots of books, board games, guitars(!) available for self entertainment. I am 81 year old female, and will certainly go back.

Great backpackers in a great location. Everything in easy walking distance, or easy public transport options. We stayed in a double room, which was comfortable and clean. The common areas were also appreciated.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made sure that they were always available. Luggage storage is available at the front desk which was very useful, even after checkout. The shared kitchen is fully stocked and the common area is well maintained. Rooms are basic but practical, beds are a good size and linens are provided. Overall great place to stay for short or long periods

I always take negative reviews with a pinch of salt but definitely should’ve listened to the ones for this place. The first time I’ve ever checked out of a hostel early due to its condition. In dire need of refurbishment, beds are creaky, bathroom is dingy. Only one common room/kitchen which had a TV on all day so nowhere to get a bit of peace and quiet - I also had some remote work to do which was impossible here. Final straw was seeing a couple of cockroaches in the common room. I had a week booked but left after one night. Hotels.com tried to request a partial refund for the unused nights but the hostel manager refused it. Extremely unimpressed, wish I’d never booked it.

I can’t open the window, it is suffocating. And the ventilation isn’t that good. Use room spray for better smell in the room whenever the guests are entering. Thanks.

I stayed in the 2bed dorm which is good if you’d want some privacy but the bed was uncomfortable and you could hear everything in the room next door and corridor. Didn’t use the kitchen but it looked crowded and dirty.

Stayed here a few years ago and it was great but now I would avoid it. Cockroaches in the kitchen and rooms, dirty sheets, you can hear the people talking in the corridors and rooms next door clear as day. A male member off staff knocked on the door and entered without waiting for an answer while I was getting changed. No atmosphere at all. When I arrived the first day at 1:30pm I didn’t get a hello, just check in is at 2pm, not the friendliest welcome.

I know I checked in after hours but still there should be a live person onsite to attend to customers. I called the after hours number and nobody was available immediately. Luckily a kind guy reached out to one of of the employees who was actually off duty to help me. The gentleman who checked me in was not supposed to be on duty but was kind enough to attend to my needs.
The room I stayed in had plenty of items left behind by previous guests. It appears as if the rooms are not cleaned and maintained regularly. The bathrooms are okay.
The hostel was convenient and okay for the one night. The rooms need to be cleaned regularly.

The reception staff was not well trained and caused inconsistent experience. The 4 person bedroom is very small and the air is bad. I have lived in different backpacker hostels in Sydney and it is the worst so far.

Location was good as it's closed to public transport (train, bus & light rail) , walking distance to great areas of the cbd . The expected noise area as it's right in Central
