I really enjoyed staying at this hostel! It was fun and sociable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Some people do complain about the mess but its a hostel that is cleaned daily so the mess is what you make! More

A friend had booked this place for 5 days over the new year period. I checked the reviews on trip advisor and was very apprehensive about staying here. We thought we'd be out all day and it'd just be a place to sleep. WRONG! I came home and killed at least 5 cockroaches every night! It was stuffy and humid... More

Booked initially for 3 nights stay while visiting Sydney, this meant we were intitled to a free shuttle service to the hostel. We rang ahead to say when we would be arriving at the airport and were told to phone back when we landed. After waiting over an hour for the shuttle bus to arrive they only had space for... More

Service is terrible! I made a booking over the phone and all my details, including credit card details were taken down. I requested a carpark and they guaranteed I would have one. The dull American voice on the end of the voice said he would email me a confirmation stating I had a room and carpark. A couple of days... More

My friend and I paid $60 for a room for one night and weren't expecting a heck of a lot. Normally the price was closer to $80 per night, so we thought we were getting a good deal. The website raved about "free coffee, tea, web etc" and the fact this room had a shower, sink and fridge in it.... More

My friends and I booked the triple room in this hostel to stay for 2 nights in Sydney. The place and the room was horrible. The inside looked like a run down hostel which has not been properly cleaned and maintained. The floors were filthy. Also, very narrow corridors. The receptionist which greeted us was reasonable. Our room was quite... More
