Great value
There are very convenient to stay in the centre of Sydney close by everything you need restaurants and shopping etc. The room was great than I thought and the toilets were clean. I will be back again next visit in Sydney :)

Best hostel I’ve stayed at
Hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bed (bunk in shared dormitory) was quite big, comfortable, had an individual light, charging ports and a curtain for privacy. The rooms, the washroom and the kitchen were cleaned every day and the noise was kept to a minimum always. Very happy with my stay and will be back if in Sydney again. It was also well situated. Easy to get to from the airport via train, to the beaches via bus and a walkable distance to the Opera House.

Very affordable, clean, and safe! I'm on the plus size so I was worried about the sturdiness of the bunk beds, but that wasn't a problem at all! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again!

Very clean and quiet. The pods were great and actually very spacious, they also blocked light well. Check in and out we're quick and easy and I really appreciated being able to store my luggage before check in time.
