Central train station across is nice. Staff are awesome. Clean facilites. Quiet place other than people coming in and out of the room makes for a lot of click and door slams. No outside noise and no partying. Ear plugs help with all the coming and going. I realize it is a dorm. Bathroom is clean.

The door slamming, all day all night, is unbearable. The hotel should do something about it. Housekeepers shows they're vacuuming but the is a pile of dust behind the bedroom door. In slite of that, the staff is very professional and courteous. Bus, tram and trains are just steps away.

Wake Up! Sydney owned by the Millet family, is conveniently located near Central station. All rooms including the private rooms, the dorms, and the bathrooms, are immaculately clean. Impressive considering there are over 500 beds in this place. The kitchen on the 1st floor is clean and modern with new electric hobs. 2 convection ovens and microwaves. Big shoutout to Nora, India and Pearse who always make me feel welcome when I stay. A high quality and recommended hostel. (There is also a Wake Up! at Bondi beach).
