Liked: It is in the very center of Sydney and it is affordable.

Disliked: It wasn't clean and comfy at all. The Mattress was very uncomfortable and the lavatory and washing rooms were dirty.

09 January 2010

Liked: I wouldn't recommend the 16 bed dorms to anyone. Its was airless, hot, humid and rather smelly. Great if your after a cheaper bed and secure(ish) place. It suited my purpose of a fly by 2 day visit. Not for people who like to hang around in their dorms... only if you spend minimal time in your dorm.

21 December 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Clean modern bathrooms, nice wooden lockers, great location. Popular among Korean travelers who sleep til 3 pm (?!). Wifi works well most of the time.Staff is friendly and helpful but doesn't like you to extend your stay via the internet since you would pay less that way. Nice rooftop where smoking is allowed (but no alcohol in the building)! Seems like pretty safe place. Kitchen is fully equipped. Refrigerators are available. Close to Woolworth.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
