4/10 Fair

Too noisy be far. The beds shook constantly at any slight movement so it was like trying to sleep in a loud earthquake. Made sleep almost impossible. The location is good as it’s around Chinatown and the central business district in Sydney, however for a backpacker looking for mates this isn’t worth a stopover at all. Better places around the rocks area in sydney

4/10 Fair

No mention of the lack of lifts in the property, nor of the shared bathroom. I am a single parent travelling Australia with two kids and we arrived with 3 large cases and 3 small only to be told there was no lift and we were on the 3rd floor. The room was basic but clean, but there was no bathroom and my kids didn't feel safe going to the toilet in the night. Very loud music from the pub below all night and the windows were so poor that we could hear street traffic and the crossing beeping outside. Then the fire alarm went off at 2am so we had to evacuate. No staff presence to explain what was going on or to let us know it was safe to go back into the building. The next morning I had to carry 6 cases down all the stairs which was not fun! Not the best experience sadly and I felt misled by the Hotels.com listing which did not specify that there was no lift and a shared bathroom.

Convenient location close to Central Station, China Town, World Square, light rail. Loads of things within easy walking distance. Easy check in, friendly staff and very affordable. Basic facilities but for the price it's great

Lovely old building in between skyscrapers, under renovation so dusty but not yucky. Steps sucked with big cases, noisy street but very convenient to central train station, parks etc nearby. For price not too bad, pub below does good food too.

Nice and clean property but there is a lack of fridge space and very small nonfunctional kitchen. Friendly staff though and the rooms are in good order.

I love the location of this hostel. The one thing I would like to have is a bigger common area with a kitchen so guest can socialize on their down time.

2/10 Poor

It was in very poor condition. Hot, stuffy and smelly with no air con. The carpets were gross and sticky, shared bathroom not prepared to go barefoot in, room walls damaged and dirty. Mattresses were concave and beds off putting. Dingy and gross. I packed up my kids and left immediately and went to a beautiful hotel, only $40 more than this dive. The manager would not refund my money at the time, and Wotif could/would not give me a refund either. No, no, no!

The staff were great and I had no problems but the windows and carpet were quite dirty I thought. Otherwise, the beds were clean and comfortable and the showers and toilet were fine.

A great Hostel, a bit dated but clean. Right in the centre of Sydney, walking distance to everywhere, pubs, clubs, shopping ....brill Spitting distance to the Train station and 20 mins to the Airport. Friendly Staff .... NO LIFT but who cares. The only bad point is the guests have to keep the kitchen clean, some do some don't ...to all those who did not Shame on you..Deffo book again, not good for familys but good for backpackers and solo travelers a cheap night stay
