Location location location. No, it’s not the Hilton but bargain for Sydney city location. Bruce the Manager & Mark the night manager are nice guys to deal with. Atm big rooms for around the 200 a week w/ share amenities, cheaper for share room. Nice open court area to hang out.

One of the cheapest places to stay in Sydney, conveniently located right next to Central Station. It could do a little upkeep, as it’s a little rough around the edges, but makes up for it with its excellent central location and friendly and helpful staff. Luggage may be stored until 8pm after checking out. My A35/night private room (shared toilet and bath) which I booked through Agoda was just the right size with a view overlooking the main street and train line. Highly recommended for budget travelers!

Small cosy hostel in the heart of Sydney. The room rate is very reasonable priced for the location. The hostel is in a older historical building. The rooms and common areas bl are clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They also have free pizza night and on weekends they offer free pancake breakfast. Definitely can recommend.

Top line: the dirtiest hostel with the worst amenities in Australia but friendly staff. We have been travelling the East Coast over the past couple months and this was also our 3rd hostel in Sydney and I can honestly say it's the worst one we've been in. The place stunk upon arrival, covered up by car air fresheners!? There was no air con in our room, which felt like a sauna and the pillows were flat as pancakes. We had to create comfort by using our clothes/towels. We found many a cockroach dead and alive, which was dealt quickly by the hostel but there definitely is an infestation as I haven't experienced this in any other place we've stayed in... Onto the amenities: there was one working shower in the B side for the entirety of our stay. This was filthy - probably due to the amount of people using it. The toilets were awful, with flies in the hand wash. The kitchen was so tiny for the amount of people that lived there and very dirty. Someone had written on the mesh on the kitchen window 'Clean me' a few times as it was pure dust and grease. There was also only one washer and tumble dryer in the hostel, forcing us to use the laundrette next door which was very busy. For the price we paid we have certainly stayed in much nicer places. The location is great but it is the rougher end of town.

It's not a 5 star hotel. It has extremely affordable rooms. 5 min walk to train station train station. Friendly staff. Definately one of the best hostels I've been to in Sydney.

Great location near central station and walking distance to the CBD Staff were friendly at check-in and helpful. Room was clean, had a locker, just had to use my own lock. Got some slices of pizza on Wednesday night for free, and pancakes on the weekend. Will stay again.

Clean rooms..bed linen very crisp and clean. Share shower but great hot water pressure. Handy location. Excellent budget accommodation... don't judge a book by its cover.

Best stay in Sydney. Cheap, very clean,. Within walking distance from Paddy's Market and China Town. And I had hip replacement. This was our third stay.
