The hostel is a short walk to the train station. The staff was extremely helpful in planning our daytrips and suggesting things to do.

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.

The staff were extremely friendly and willing to assist with anything they could. The hostel itself organizes functions and events to bring the group together which makes a wonderful atmosphere. As a solo packpacker, I strongly recomomend this hostel to any other solo-goers! My only complaint is the shower the 2 upstairs showers were terrible for holding a constant temperature and got extremely cold!!

In fact everything. As parents we were in Sydney to visit our daughter and it was a very good choice to be around with so many young travellers. Each with their stories and their dreams..

Great character, excellent parties, great people and staff. Nice and quiet in the evenings after 10pm which was good if you wanted some sleep but an option for hostel outings from 9.30pm. Give it a go. Ams
