Stayed there for 3 days and it was totally worth it. The beds were very comfortable, the hostel is in a quiet location and there is a kitchen with everything you need and a dining room, so perfect if you're on a budget. The kitchen area closes down at around 11pm and they encourage guests to either go out if... More

Hostel is place for the real travellers that prefer spending money on experiencing the real life instead of spending them on en suite bathroom facilities. If you treat hostel as a place to spend night only and have some time off between different adventures outside then Elephant is great for you as it was for me. LOCATION Location is very... More

I stayed in a 4 bed dorm which was large, light and clean. Nothing fantastic but not dirty or dinghy....definitely great for what you pay. The linen in the room was clean. Staff were friendly and very eager to help as much as they can and other guests were also very friendly. Each floor has a men and girls shower... More

We were in Sydney over new year and stupidly did not book out accomodation early enough. this was the last place we could stay and we had to stay a minimum of 7 nights due to the terms and conditions of the hotel. it ended up working out to be £50 a night each, for a dorm room. very expensive!!!...

There was a decent kitchen and dining area, and because of the deposit system on the pans and plates there wasn't a problem with washing up. The location of the hostel was good for accessing most of the main places in Sysney and close to a train station. Our room could have been cleaner, and the shared toilets and showers... More

This has to be the worst hostel ive EVER stayed in. Ive stayed in many hostels, while travelling and this is by far the WORSE place ive ever stayed. The Hygiene in this place.. Well there is none. The Toilets are unbelievable, Pee staines on toilet seats, floors.. human excrements down every toilet, for a hostel that sleeps 300 +... More

Me and my husband were about to stay 3 nights at elephant's but we end up leaving after the 2nd night because the hostel was filthy.. I am not picky and of course I dont expect many conforts from a buget hostel but..I prefer it quite clean and without bed bugs :) I travel a lot and I have stayed... More

This place is filthy, they rather risk your health by renting out a mattress they know is infested and will most likely harm you!!! To be honest I am surprised if this hostel didn't already get in trouble with some official hygiene control in Australia. Apart from the sticky and dirty conditions of the bathrooms, kitchen and the carpet floors,... More

Elephant is cheap and in a good location. I had spent a long time going through the internet for cheap places to stay in Sydney & this place was definitely one of the most reasonably priced with a good location. I think what people need to bare in mind when booking a hostel is that you are booking a hostel... More
