Disliked: it's starting to look a little old and run down. could do with a little interior makeover but you get what you pay for.

Liked: It´s a nice place to stay-sleep, although sometimes it´s a bit noisy in the night, thanks to other guests. The staff is very helpfull and friendly. The neighbourhood (Balmain) is very nice: many shops, cafe's and restaurants. It's easy to get a bus and go into the center of town.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Tom Hoare

25 October 2009 Tom would recommend this property

Liked: This place is a great starting place if you're moving to Sydney for a relatively long-term period of time; there's loads of backpackers here who are on working holiday visa's or similar things, and it has an amazing social vibe. It feels a lot like sharing a house with a lot of people, rather than a hostel. Everyone's very friendly and there's lots of drinking every night (do NOT stay here if you want a good night's sleep). The rooms are basic dorms and the cleanliness of the kitchen/bathrooms is not a particularly high standard, but personally the social atmostphere more than made up for this. A great, fun, family-feel place to stay.

Disliked: Tom left no negative feedback.

08 September 2009 rob would recommend this property

Liked: if you're after a party this is the place for you, between 9am and 4 am Friday to Sunday is party central, if you want sleep or a quite life, ask for a room as far away from the stereo as possible, defiantly not room 17!! Its a lot like a uni house share, with a cool relaxed TV room two kitchens and free sausage butties on Sunday. Its a bit of a hike to town, but there are buses, they cost $3.20 each way so but a ten stop card to make life cheaper.

Liked: Free wifi internet, that's a huge plus! And while not in the city centre of Sydney, the location is quite good. In Darling St there are many affordable restaurants, a book shop and a supermarket. Swimming pools are near, as is a nice park. City centre is six minutes with lots of buses to choose from.
