I stayed there for my 15 hours of transit. I didn’t expect that much but the stay was far better than I expected. The rooms and facility were clean and neat, staff are welcoming and creating warm ambiance. I definitely visit the city and the place again in the future.

Very affordable, clean, and safe! I'm on the plus size so I was worried about the sturdiness of the bunk beds, but that wasn't a problem at all! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again!

Best hostel I’ve stayed at
Hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bed (bunk in shared dormitory) was quite big, comfortable, had an individual light, charging ports and a curtain for privacy. The rooms, the washroom and the kitchen were cleaned every day and the noise was kept to a minimum always. Very happy with my stay and will be back if in Sydney again. It was also well situated. Easy to get to from the airport via train, to the beaches via bus and a walkable distance to the Opera House.

Very clean and quiet. The pods were great and actually very spacious, they also blocked light well. Check in and out we're quick and easy and I really appreciated being able to store my luggage before check in time.

Liked: Cleanliness
Does the job
PROS: privacy, good size bunks, rooms not crowded, great location, price fair, amenities, close to public transport CONS: room door is the loudest I’ve ever encountered, bathroom very dirty and smells due to no ventilation, check in process extremely slow

Liked: Room comfort
No sleep
The bed and room temperature was comfortable however the door opening and closing the entire night kept me up and I got very little sleep. Owners should invest in soft close door and stop the locks from making such a loud sound every time people leave and enter the rooms.
