We had a private double room which was way overpriced considering there was just a bed and a locker. The locker was the best thing about the whole place. The kitchen was not nearly big enough when the hostel was full which it was - we could barely get near the cooking facilities. It was quite a noisy hostel, lots of banging doors etc. The internet was not good so if you haven't got a laptop, you had to go out to an internet cafe. There were not enough toilets and showers considering the number of people staying there. It's OK for one night but I would not like to stay there long term

Not much good to say about my night there. The hall and bedroom constantly smelled of cigarettes, to the point that I believe this may be a hostel that allows people to smoke in the common rooms...? The bathroom door on my level squeaked really loudly whenever someone went in or out - luckily my room was on the opposite side of the floor but I could still hear it loudly. I would hate to think what the poor people in the rooms around it had to put up with. Staff member that checked me in was completely unhelpful. No advice or info given; she didn't even tell me how to get to my room.

Maybe a little bit too big for my taste, it makes it more difficult to meet people.

This place was very clean and facility was also quite modern. more over it was near the central station which is located in the sydney city so transportation was convenient. price was not bad compare to other hostels but still a little bit expensive for me.

This is great for cheap central accommodation in Sydney. The rooms are quite small and the bathrooms are sometimes a little overcrowded but overall I would definitely recommend this place to other travellers coming through Sydney.

Staff were all amazingly friendly and helpful! Great location right next to central station with secure in-room lockers. Great idea having charging outlets inside the lockers and giving each bed it's own light! Not a party hostel, so it's fairly quiet, but it's also not a great place to meet lots of people. All aorund very good value for money!
