Liked: I have never seen such a friendly staff in Sydney before. Lovely hostel with a sunny veranda, free breakfast and wifi. There are many of seperate clean bathrooms with toilet and shower, which you can lock. You have a clothes line, can save money for the dryer and it is just a 9 minutes trip to the city. :) Great. I would recommend it to everyone!
Disliked: Maybe that I have to wait for 10 minutes for a bathroom. But that was not that problem.

Liked: Wonderful staff who are always keen to help and make the best of your stay. Free breakfast, coffee, tea and towel a HUGE plus! Also enjoyed having somewhere quiet to come back to after a busy day touring around Sydney. Great location near local stores and pucs, as well.
Disliked: The internet never seemed to work, which was difficult. Location is a couple stops outside of main city center rail stops, which some people may not be aware of or want, but I didn't mind. Also didn't provide anything in terms of promoting interaction with its guests, which some younger travelers may be looking for. Also no locks or anywhere to keep valuables.

The property's response is
Hi there,
Thanks for your comments!
We're currently working on getting heaters in all the rooms but do supply them when asked.
As for the lock on your door, all rooms operate on an automatic locking system for added security. To make sure you're not left out in the cold, they take a full 3 mins to lock in case you need to get back into your room!
Thanks again, we look forward to seeing you next time, :) Alexis
