01 February 2012 Maddie would recommend this property
Liked: The staff were all lovely and helpful, the beds were comfortable and clean, the showers were clean with good water pressure (!), and the whole building felt very secure. Even though it is not a cheap place to stay (comparatively), you do get what you pay for in Sydney and so it is so much better than many of the other cheaper hostels in the area.
Disliked: Because it's open to familes, you can't drink alcohol in your rooms - even if you have the whole room under a single booking. That being said, there are some pretty cool bars in walking distance so it doesn't really matter. Also, the some of the shower stalls weren't as clean as I had expected given the hostel's 5* rating.

Liked: clean, big with lots going on and helpful staff. good location
Disliked: we were in a double ensuite superior room on the eighth floor and to say it was hot would be an understatment, there was only aircon that was not controlled by us and was mostly blowing hot air and windows would not open, this made it very hard to sleep at night. would suggest aircon facilities are improved.
