Very good location, lively area where everything is and even young people. I came with older people and they liked it very much because they had a place to park the car. Helpful staff, the staff really helped me when I asked. Perfect communication. The only thing the hostel could improve is to have separate beds. Have a room where four guys can come in and each have their own bed. They had to share one of the husband's.

Although we didn't get the original rooms we booked (with ensuites) we were accommodated in a terrace house with shared facilities that was an exceptional and unique stay. It is a backpackers, and we did stay there as a group/family, and there was no issues. The vibe was great. Staff was very helpful despite having problems with our original booking due to maintenance they looked after us well and we got a great deal.

Room was very basic, and the building was very old bordering on disrepair in places but the location was brilliant and it was a great, cheap option in a very lively fun area of Sydney to explore. Staff were friendly and we were very grateful for the luggage storage and access to shared amenities when we arrived early. We would stay again. Also, Biscoff biscuits - what an absolute treat.

Steph

Very nice room with private bathroom, spacious common spaces, large kitchen, pool in the center of the building. Very friendly staff with excellent disposition. The neighborhood with a lot of life, restaurants, food from all over the world. Very good location 20 minutes by train or bus from the Opera and the ferries. I'm going back.

location in a very cool area, where there are cool cafes and various stylish clothing stores) 3 shops for spiritual practices, a hostel with creative young people on the same street, in general, I advise you to visit for a couple of days + there are lockers in the rooms for valuables
