It was not at all clear from the listing on Wotif that the room that I booked had a shared bathroom and shower facility. There were many other notes on the listing including mention of a shared kitchens, but there was nothing about there being a shared bathroom. I very rarely leave a negative review but in this case I feel compelled to. This information should have been front and center. I paid $296 for one night.

High quality

Things got stolen on two occasions. I asked the staff to check the cctv and they seemed very reluctant and then agreed to. They said where I was located was the one area they don’t have cctv. Overall I felt quite unsafe when staying there and the staff didn’t take my concerns very seriously at all, I think because they’re all travelling themselves and staying at the hostel. It doesn’t seem like there is any authority or professionalism. Other things. No towels to rent, but then saw others receiving towels from reception. No space near the bed to store things, just a tiny shelf where things felt down multiple times. Breakfast is just bread

Discriminatory reception staff. A staff member made a derogatory remark about by nationality when I was having breakfast, witnessed by the 2 people sat with me. Pathetic juvenile conduct, in breach of the Federal Racial Discrimination Act (1975) in Australia. We also had cockroaches in our ensuite bathroom.

Friendly staff, generous free breakfast, very decent sized air conditioned room, clean amenities ☺️

Lovely staff, convenient free breakfast - basic but all you need to fill a hole, clean facilities

Awesome place . Will stay here over and over again . Love the cafe . Great coffee and food . The vibe was great. I basically walked all over the place . Clean room , comfortable bunk beds , respectful roommates, bathrooms and showers pristine. Staffed by awesome folks who’ve been so kind . Love the building architecture.

Place idéal pour des rencontres. Le personnel est très attentif à vos besoins. Emplacement stratégique.

Staff are friendly and helpful when you ask them any questions. I was only there for a weekend so didn’t get to make many friends, but the few other travelers I spoke to were nice! I stayed in the Mixed room and everyone was kind and respectful. It was just a little bit of a walk from the train station and a few minutes away from a bus stop. I felt a little older amongst the younger crowd, but it wasn’t a problem at all, it keeps the vibes fun. I was out most of the time, so this place is good for a couple of days. Do keep in mind the photos shown are of unoccupied rooms of course, occupied looks a little different of course! The Christmas in July party was already in full swing when I arrived, it looked fun!

Une équipe de gestion jeune et très sympa… Petit déjeuner correct pour une auberge de jeunesse ( the, café, céréales et pain de mie avec confiture). Une petite note négative car nous n’avons pas eu d’électricité tricoté dans les prises de courant pendant 2 jours ( pas de lumière de chevet et impossible de charger nos téléphones portables).

Auberge de jeunesse très bien située derrière la cathédrale Sainte Marie à environ 15 minutes de marche de Town Hall. Personnel sympathique et prêt à renseigner sur divers sujets. Des activités de groupe sont proposées afin de favoriser le vivre ensemble.

Hostel is nice and location is good however the building is quite old. The floors creak in the bedrooms and the hallways which adds a lot of noise. The bunk beds are a weird height, if you get a bottom bunk you can’t sit up in bed which is really annoying. I enjoyed the lounge room and study area when I need some quiet time though. The beds and linen were also comfortable and I never felt cold even in winter. No towels are provided though, they’re $8

Location and accesibility as well as staff professionalism make this hostel stand out.

The check in could have been easier & more chill, but was otherwise quite good ! Quite a friendly place to stay Good experience

Friendly staff and cool vibe. Even though a 60 year old, felt at home at the hostel.

The building is beautiful. The rooms were good. I had something drop down the side of the bed and there was an old Kleenex and pop bottle there. Kinda gross. Probably doesn't get cleaned often down there . Love the vibe at breakfast. People cooking or getting toast or cereal. Lots of chatter. Great for the younger crowd.

Fantastisk beliggenhed.

Overall, it served the exact purpose of my stay: a clean bed in a quiet room. I only needed the bed on this trip so the bunk bed was actually comfortable. Thanks to the other three young people sharing the quiet space, I had very good rest during nights. I think your experience really depends on how you want to experience it. There were bubbly young people who enjoyed party a bit more but there were also people like myself, preferring a bit down time from busy activities in Sydney.

good condition

Nice hostels, very nice staff. Showers were not as clean as could be No air con in rooms but room do have a fan Would try to avoid if it was very hot weather
