Liked: This hostel was a grest place to start our travels in Australia. We met lots of people in the excellent communal areas. It was clean, secure and friendly with a good location in Kings Cross. However it was pretty expensive so not a great place to go if you are trying to watch the penny's.

Heather King

02 November 2008 Heather would recommend this property

Liked: This was our first stop after a 21 hour flight from London so the free airport pick up was great as well as the staff sorting our room as soon as possible so that we could crash. Great place to meet people and we are returning here when we come back to Sydney.

Disliked: Heather left no negative feedback.
