Excellent stay, had a great time! If it's your first visit to Sydney, I highly recommend staying here. They have parties every Friday, which is a lot of fun. Just a heads up, the kitchen closes early, so make sure to check the times.

This hotel is right next to Sydney Central Station. They mentioned that the building itself is quite old, about a hundred years, and was later converted into a hostel. Given Sydney's sky-high prices, paying over 700 for a single room without a private bathroom is tough. The layout inside is also quite complex; getting from my room to the communal restroom felt like a good hundred-meter walk, which was really inconvenient for night trips. The hostel has a large common area, with the entire second floor dedicated to dining and a communal kitchen, complete with utensils and cooking equipment. There's also a paid laundry area and a conversation space. The hotel's own介绍 [description/brochure] said there were many free tours and activities available, but I didn't join due to the language barrier. The room card was designed with a lanyard, presumably to prevent it from getting lost.

Wake up Sydney Central is very close to Central Station (100 meters up Pitt St from corner exit) Staff at reception were most welcoming.

I stayed here alone for 4 days. The room was great with a huge window, and the location was super convenient for getting around, being very close to Chinatown. The price is about normal for Sydney, but it would be even better if there was a water dispenser on each floor.

The hotel is very close to the Central Station, and right across the street is the Big Bus stop with both red and blue lines. You can buy a 48-hour pass, which takes you to many famous attractions over two days! Basically, everything you want to see is on the route! The hotel itself is good and clean! The only downside is the central air conditioning; it can get a bit chilly, so I'd recommend bringing your own blanket.

Average hostel not too far from central station. For the same price you can get way better places in Sydney. Location OKish Overall cleaning OKish (rooms very clean, bathrooms and kitchen to be improved significantly) Facilities below average (nothing provided, no hairdryer, no towel, no coffee etc) No curtains in the bed so no privacy at all Very noisy as you are facing a very busy street and there’s a club in the basement open until very late

Bunk beds, shared bathrooms. Great location and friendly staff. Although check-out is before 10 AM, the front desk proactively asks if you have luggage to store and is very enthusiastic. Located on Pitt St.
