Liked: People were really friendly there and loved all the arranged nights out and free drinks.

18 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Excellent staff - all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We booked a twin room with shared bathroom and got upgraded to an ensuite free of charge!!! Very social hostel with nightly events organised. Gorgeous Victorian style building and very handy location 2 min walk from Kings Cross Station. All rooms have their own fridge, TV, heating and fans. Very comfy mattresses. Towels and luggage storage are free - which are things that other hostels in Sydney often charge a small fee for. Also if you stay min 2 nights, there's a free airport pickup - which saves you over $10! All in all, couldn't be better!!

Disliked: nothing!

10 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: it is clean, full of activities, and friendly staff

22 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is way overpriced for what it is. There was a dirty towel in our room, the internet was very expensive, the bed mattress was old and sunk in the middle of a double bed, and they make you pay a $20 key deposit (so if you check out late they can keep the money). It is definitely a party hostel as they have outings to the bars as a group. It is basically like every other hostel, but twice the cost.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

15 June 2010 anna would recommend this property

Liked: Beautiful and big hostel, very clean. Big rooms very comfortable and nice, some with a balcony, big kitchen and backyard, nice tv lounge. A bit too far from the Opera House, 45 minutes walking, but the free bus 555 is just 15 minutes walking from the hostel. Very very nice and big and coloured hostel, anyway. Staff really helpful, and reception open 24h. I do recommend it.

Disliked: anna left no negative feedback.

Liked: The only thing I didn't like was, that this hostel is located in the middle of the party zone of sydnes, so it was loud outside. for everyone who is looking for a great hostel in a party central - choose this one!
