Customer review

08 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff was friendly and premises were clean. Building ans interior are old so it affects little bit the atmosphere of cleanliness. I really liked that kitchen was clean and that hostel provided small fridges in rooms. There should be big safety boxes for luggage/backpacks so guests could leave their belongings in the rooms and not worrying about them. It was quite quiet hostel only the stairs made loud creaking noises.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

22 April 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing hostel! The staff are great. The airline managed to lose my bags but Bruce and Becky were so helpful with getting them back that it made it all a lot less painful! Entertainment was excellent - Sarah makes sure there is always something going on which makes it really easy to meet people. Dorms are spacious and come with TV/DVD and fridge in every room which is a nice touch. Kitchen is huge but also plenty of places to eat around. Make sure you check out Joes Cafe a few doors down, the nicest guy and great food (with huge portions!). I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Sydney!

Kailtin Culver

25 February 2009 Kailtin would recommend this property

Liked: We only booked one night initially, and then even though they anticipated being full to capacity the next few nights they managed to make it work for us. We loved it! They were close enough to Circular Quay, the city center etc. if you don't mind a bit of a walk and then at night it was close enough to walk around to bars.
