I stayed one night in a double bed in a private room with private bathroom. The room was clean and comfortable. I could not hear outside disturbances from inside the room, other than at times when people were unlocking their rooms, as the door uses codes. Did not use the kitchen, laundry or common sitting areas (unable to comment on those).

Room was average- 2 bed female dorm. The staff was nice. I didn’t like the bathroom situation because it was always clogged and the outside would get wet. The bed was comfortable but I hated that they didn’t change the blankets after each guest. The location is perfect for exploring Sydney, I walked almost everywhere. Pretty kool restaurants in the area.

Check in guy was nice, the room was hot and I learned from my roommate after I left that the AC started working after I left. There was a constant banging sound that I have no idea where it was coming from all hours of the day and late into the night. I told the room service person that I didn't want the room cleaned, and she shoved the door open and put a door holder then proceeded to vaccuum and start to clean the bathroom before finally agreeing to leave and stop cleaning when I requested no house cleaning service.

The staff at check in was great, friendly and explained everything well. But I guess I didn’t do my due diligence to check what kind of hostel this is because it smells like weed at any time we enter the building. Also if you’re an old person and/or wearing hijab, people will stare at you if you walk through the main area so we just use the back entrance every time. We stayed at the family room with bathroom inside so it is okay but theres no soap i the shower. It did have hand soap dispenser so we used that. Overall if you know what you’re getting into, the price and location is great but i don’t think this is a place for a family.
