With such affordable price and great service, this is a go-to hostel for everyone that want a quiet and cozy night as the rule of The Pod is very clear, you cannot be noisy and no alcohol is allowed. The service was excellent and the location is really strategic, World Square right across the street, Paddy's is just 300 meters away, QVB is also close, Museum station is just 5 minutes walk, clearly close to Hyde Park and a 10 minutes walk and you are already in Darling Harbour. The bathroom was very clean. I definitely will stay in The Pod again if I come back to Sydney

Really enjoyed my stay here. The space was clean, quiet, and not a party vibe at all — perfect for anyone who values their alone time.

The hostel is clean and comfortable, and it's in a great location. But what mesmerized me the most was their staff! All of them were amazing, helpful, and ready to make my stay even better. I highly recommend it!

In this backpacker hotel, I stayed for 5 days. It is very close to the city, and just opposite Coles shopping to buy some food for my dinner and breakfast at the backpacker hotel. Put it in the fridge with name label stickers. All very safe and very friendly staff. A very nice manager who looks after tourists stay. I give it a 5-star rating. In bed in your room with the wall light on and turn off the ceiling light in each room at 9.30pm. I enjoyed it and will come back again in future from Brisbane QLD Happy New Year to tourists. Take care on the trip.

Hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bed (bunk in shared dormitory) was quite big, comfortable, had an individual light, charging ports and a curtain for privacy. The rooms, the washroom and the kitchen were cleaned every day and the noise was kept to a minimum always. Very happy with my stay and will be back if in Sydney again. It was also well situated. Easy to get to from the airport via train, to the beaches via bus and a walkable distance to the Opera House.

The bed and room temperature was comfortable however the door opening and closing the entire night kept me up and I got very little sleep. Owners should invest in soft close door and stop the locks from making such a loud sound every time people leave and enter the rooms.
