23 February 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were friendly and helpful at this hostel and i'm sure if you want you can meet people.Its location is on the edge of surry hills and its not far to walk for buses its not easy to get home if out on oxford street at night but from town i imagine its ok. Cleanliness was a bit of an issue but its not too bad, i think more thorough cleaners are required thats all and stuff left on stairs, sheets etc make the place look worse. Overall good hostel.

Liked: It is familar, you feel like at home. You don't have to worry about your luggage that something will be stolen or something. The owner and even all the other roommaids are friendly and helpful, give you insider tips and help you with your further organization of your stay in Australia..... All in all, it is a place to stay for longer terms and a place of what you think back very positvely afterwards

Liked: Arrived to see Sydney for a couple of days, on my own so thought evenings would be quite quiet but the other people there were excellent and invited me out with them so both nights out, whcih was great. The atmosphere at the hostel definately makes it worthwhile and several of them have been there a good while and feel very family like, I was adopted for two days!
