Amazing

Lucky to find out that check in can be done pretty late as I had a late arrival (around 9 pm I’ve just landed). People are friendly and helpful. Grateful for lending me the adapter to charge my phone.

It was a great place. The location was perfect and in city center. Not so far from shops and restaurants.

I honestly do not recommend it. Aside from the noise, the bathroom is messy and the room smells really bad. It's just not a place Koreans would like to stay.

A perfect hostel. Sociable, clean, comfy and great location. Everything you look for when travelling. Great facilities and lovely vibe. So close to the main attraction of Sydney. Rooms were fine and had charging ports right next to every bed which was a bonus

Stayed at this hostel for just under a week and it’s the best hostel I have stayed at in Sydney so far. Really welcoming, helpful staff and a friendly environment. Communal areas are kept clean which is brilliant and the bedrooms are a good size with sink for convenience. Would definitely be staying here again. Thank you ☺️

Great hostel!😊 We stayed here for a week and felt very comfortable. The atmosphere is very casual and everything is very comfortable. From the little plants, to the colorful pillows, to the fairy lights. The staff is super friendly and always in a good mood. A perfect place to meet new people as there is a different "event" every night. From a movie night with snacks to a BBQ. It's a shame that our trip continues tomorrow. We would come back again😊

I stayed in this hostel for 2 weeks. Actually I just wanted to spend a few nights there, but everything was so nice that I needed to extend twice. The atmosphere, the location, the people… everything just so nice here. Love all you guys! Can’t wait to come back soon :)

Very Good

I planned to stay a week in Sydney but in the end I ended up staying for months in the hostel! Something very good is that every day they do different activities so you never feel alone. In general, the hostel was being remodeled so there were several inconveniences, but even so the staff made sure that everything was clean and you felt comfortable. The location is very good and you are close to many parties! I left with a nice experience and met wonderful people.

Really nice Hostel. Friendly Staff, a huge Tv Room and good bed dorms. Barbecue on Friday is the best, everyone is sitting in the garden and enjoying life. It is one of the most social hostels I’ve ever been to. Furthermore the beaches and CBD are pretty near to the hostel. Central Station is just 3 Stops by train away as well, so it‘s very easy to get there.

Very close to the train station. Great location. All the people are super friendly. There’s also a huge cinema room and a PS5 if you like video games. The facilities are comfortable. I would definitely recommend.

Excellent location and the social vibe is unmatched, felt pretty close to everything (you have Kings Cross station less than a block away) and a great way of meeting people from all over the world. There are events on a daily basis!
