Very clean (Double Private Ensuite) and modern. That was the most important. The building (entrance) is also lovely.

Shower towels were provided, and the location was 1 block from a public transport station. The room was clean. It was a bit noisy on a Saturday night. Kings Cross is a bit seedy after dark, and I think we would have enjoyed staying closer to "The Rocks" or Bondi Beach areas. But overall, it was a good place to stay.

The courtyard is a nice place to meet people, just sitting on the picnic benches and chatting while eating.

location wasn't too bad as it's close to everything but for what you pay you can find a more decent place to stay

Nice hostel hostel with a very good atmosphere and brilliant for going out in Kings Cross. The twelve-bed-room #12 has a balcony, which is very good for chilling and watching out on Victoria Street. Would definitely come back!
