The location is fine, but the entrance is next to the bin area giving you a very bad first impression. Inside it's a complete mess, luggage is stack directly on the floor. I really did not feel safe and checkout after 2 hours to spend the night at the airport waiting for my flight which was schedule the next day. Personally, i won't recomand this place

The attitude of the service staff is very good. It doesn’t matter if you check in in the middle of the night. The hotel has thoughtfully prepared a 24-hour service call, and there are people there at any time.

Dirty, messy, noisy, everyone talking loudly until 11pm! Not a good rest at all! There is no advantage other than cheap and good front desk service! ! !

The staff was kind and very nice. There is no elevator, so I found it difficult to carry heavy luggage.

Staff was nice and friendly. But the air in the room was not good, it was way too hot and the ceiling fan didn’t do much good. There should be an AC or at least a chance to open the window to get some fresh air in the room. Only 2 toilets and 2 showers for the whole floor (5 rooms for 6 or 8 people) - not ideal.

I recommend this hostel for its cleanliness, the kindness of the staff and its location. Commons areas are cleaned daily. The hostel offers a range of activites and it’s a good way to meet people ! I recommend it to anyone and I’ll come back if I’m back in Sydney

Bedrooms are relatively clean and the mattress was comfy. Obviously you can’t do much about being in a room where people’s belongings make the room look messy but the hostel does try to keep on top of this. The backyard area is really nice with some big benches and space to chill. The kitchen is decent and has what you need. The floor I stayed on only had one toilet though, and during peak times there’s a wait. Finally although I would stay here again, my actual pet peeve that I didn’t realise was a peeve until I stayed here is that housekeeping/cleaners never knock on the door before they enter your room. As I write this, one girl has opened the door and then announced she’s housekeeping so I’ll let her off but overall it’s a bit annoying. Although I am sat on the floor and she’s just started spraying room spray along the floor 🤦‍♀️

I am writing this review because I'd like to highlight the fact it is obvious the owner of this hostel is simply trying to maximise profit while neglecting outstanding issues: The rooms lack much needed AC, it is far too hot to sleep in the rooms. I am in a 6 person room and if there are more than 3 people in here moving around you are shoulder-to-shoulder; the rooms are massively overcrowded. After some conversation, staff seem unhappy under the rule of whoever the manager is. There is 1 toilet per floor. You have to wait to use the toilet. It is uncomfortable. There are cockroaches in most rooms I have been in. The kitchen can become overcrowded. And there is no indoor social space other than a TV room. Again, every room in this place feels overpopulated, all comfort is abandoned to maximise the number of people they can accommodate here. This place hikes the price up simply because it's in a prime location in Sydney, an expensive city and they know they can get away with it. Unless you are truly desperate for 1 night in Sydney, DO NOT stay here, solo or with friends. It is definitely not worth the price.
