Considering the high prices in Sydney, I would say that it's a very good place to stay! For 3 days or 3 months you can live in a friendly atmosphere, meet poeple, especially if you're looking for a job: the location is just perfect, near the city center in a lovely neighborhood full of bars and restaurants... You can go... More

My friend and I have been spending almost 3 months in this hostel. Nice and very friendly staff, very clean and well equipped rooms, and a wonderful hostel in general for a very cheap price. We were really looking for the catch, but we have never found it. We simply loved this place. It really did become a second home... More

Having read the previous review I have to say I disagree totally with what was said. I've stayed in this hostel on more than one occasion and have never had a problem. I think its great value for money considering every room has an ensuite and all are only 4 bed dorms. I have paid more in other hostels for... More

When I first arrived in my room I thought hmm this might be a really nice place to stay, I might extend for another week. Thank god I did not. ROOM Gladly our aircon is working (although turning off from its own after a couple of hours) so the room can be cool if it's too hot outside. The computer... More

We've had a great stay here. The hostel was clean and the location was excellent as we were pretty much walking distance to what we were interested in. Let me thank Viola, she was very helpful and kind . Australia is far away but i promise....i'll be back

Location of the hostel is good. Glebe Point road is blessed with a large variety of good and cheap restaurants. Also, it is only ten minutes away from Sydney Uni and Paramatta Road (to catch a bus into the city center). Broadway shopping centre (Coles, kmart, Apple store, movie theatre etc) is a ten to fifteen minute walk. The hostel... More

I used to stay at this place regularly, as I enjoyed being in Glebe and easy access to all the bookshops. The rooms are plain but acceptable, the bathrooms work, there's parking under the building and it's inexpensive. Nothing to write home about but great if you just want a base for Sydney exploration on foot or by bus and... More

Location wise this hostel is brilliant- Glebe is a fantastic place to stay while in Sydney- there are cafes galore and lots of second hand book shops and every type of restaurant you could possibly want. You can walk to the city and Darling harbour and there are buses right outside the hostel too which only cost $2 to get... More

I've had some time to consider writing this and have stayed in a couple of hostels since. All things considered, this hostel is the worst I have ever seen. I won't say 'stayed at' because we left without spending the night there. The rooms are far more filthy than the pictures would have you believe. Ours had large stains on... More

This hostel has the potential to be wicked. Its in a fab location - Glebe is an awesome places, really quirky and cool. And its close to the city centre (just a 30min slow walk) and train station (10mins max). The facilities are fairly decent, the kitchen could so with a spruce and they need to seriously sort out some... More
