Really dirty, staring at the same dead flies all weekend let's you know they don't clean anything. Showers smelt pretty bad. Room was just generally gross on all surfaces. Windows don't shut properly so street is full volume and market gets set up early at the weekends right outside. Location is great but a really poor quality hostel. I've stayed in a lot of backpackers places but this was one of the grossest, which is kinda crazy given the price.

Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life.

Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize.

Decent budget accommodation right on the Manly strip. Private room was reasonably large and comfy. However, it's an old building with poor soundproofing, so a fair bit of noise through the night.

Pros: Really good location and easy to use public transport around. Lots of good options for food. Very close to lots of cute beaches and walks. Cons: If you're a light sleeper do not recommend as its right near a pub that's noisy AF on the weekends. Markets on Saturday/Sunday start early too so can't really sleep past 7am. Strong local only bad vibes from longtermers. Messy shared kitchen space during breakfast that no-one cleaned as they used it.
