Was a little disappointed with this hostel as its so highly rated on hostel bookers, I was expecting something a bit nicer. Its definitley a very average place to stay and not any better than other hostels in the area that I've stayed in.

very well run! everything was neat and organised and there were a lot of security measures in place as well. loved the comfy tv room and all the bean bags! only downside was, i waited quite long for the airport shuttle both ways, but still, it was great to have a free airport pick-up. would have liked to stay longer if i could!

I really enjoyed my stay here, felt very much at home! I arrived at 9 am from London so I was exhausted, and they let me have the room right then and there. It's in a good location, accessible to the train station, etc. If you want to book tours or tickets of any sort, the staff is willing to help. They also have $3.00 pizza and beer nights on a Tuesday which is helpful to those travelers on a budget. If I come to Sydney again, I will definetely be staying here!
