Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is my first time in a backpacking hostel and I really enjoyed it. It's just a short walk from Museum Station around 7 minutes, the place is really clean and tidy they have a billiards table tv room with a movie night on Thursdays with free pop corn and chocolates, I went during Mardi Gras and there was free glitter and makeup to get ready for the street parade, I was really impressed, I chose a single room the only negative is the mattress is a bit uncomfortable but not too bad I ended up putting the bed quilt on top as I could feel the springs in the mattress I'd definitely go here again when traveling to Sydney again Jeff

I STAYED only 1 night. The staff was friendly. My only complaint was there was no lift and i had to go to second floor. Ok for young people but i am 75.A lovely French girl carried my luggage up stairs and found my room for me. The room was small but had a clean bed, power points, alarge wall fan and hooks for clothes. The toilets were near and reasonably clean.This was a Saturday night and the room was quiet.dispite the number of people outside attending restaurants etc.

Cheap and cheerful
Well organised hostel, staff really good. Unfortunately guests slam doors and there's a lot of noise from the traffic and extractor fans. Great that you can leave luggage in lockers and kitchen very well equipped. Lots of bathrooms cleaned regularly, did see a couple of cockroaches in corridor. Very handy location just 5 min walk from the train station
