Loved my stay here! The location is absolutely perfect right near Victoria Park which is awesome for morning walks or just chilling. The hostel itself is super comfy, with clean rooms and cozy beds. Public transport is super easy to access, so getting around the city was no problem at all. There's a great vibe here too everyone’s friendly and it’s really easy to meet people. The common areas are chill and always buzzing, but not too loud. It feels like a home away from home. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a fun, well located, and comfortable place to stay.

The hostel is in a great location, with a beautiful park opposite with a lovely 50m outdoor swimming pool. There is also access to a free gym with the hostel which is a great perk. There is also an Aldi and Coles less than 5 minutes away, making it easy to run to the shops for dinner or lunch. The staff are super friendly and there are always events going on at the hostel, creating a very sociable atmosphere. I have loved staying here and when I visit Sydney again, this would be my top pick as feels like a home away from home!

This was the best hostel I stayed in while I was in Sydney. Everything was good, the beds, the sockets, the showers, the kitchen. It's a bit further away from the center than many other hostels, but the way there is kind of nice, it was fun to look at all the shops and little restaurants along the way, and it's not a bad area to walk around after dark I'd say.
The only problem was that it was pretty difficult to open the room door, you had to first push the key in and then a bit back and turn it just right to open it. At least everyone in my room (room 11) was complaining about it.

This hostel is absolutely wonderful! Located at the very centre of the city, it provides convenient access to everything Sydney has to offer. The hostel is distinguished by its lively and engaging atmosphere, making it a great spot for meeting new people through the variety of entertaining events it hosts. The staff adds greatly to the experience; they are always warm, friendly, and enjoy engaging with guests. This inviting atmosphere often persuades people who come for a short stay to extend their visits. Whether you're in town for a quick trip or something longer, this hostel comes highly recommended!
It was all good, nothing unpleasant.

We had our private room for 2 with AC, slept really well, it was quiet and peaceful. Easy access to everything and close to main attractions. Everyone very respectful and fun.
There were limited access to toilets because they were often out of service. It would be nice if the staff would check the toilets more regularly to ensure that they are working properly and that there are sufficient toilet paper which we ran out of one night.

Lovely hostel with great travel links to all the main attractions you want to see. Also really enjoyed the events that are on each day of the week which are a great bonus considering how good the prices are. The staff were all really friendly and helpful which was nice as I was traveling on my own. If its your first time in Sydney as a solo traveller I highly recommend!

It was nice location near Victoria Park, shopping centre with Coles, Aldi and Kmart, also bus station in front of the hostel. Really sociable hostel, events every day, friendly people and kind staff, great common area, bed was comfy and near bed was a socket and a lamp. Room for 4 was enough spacious and wasn't smelly in comparison to other hostels. Kitchen was well-equipped with free condiments and some free food as well and what I liked too were big showers with a lot hangers inside.
what I didn't like was worn out frying pans and pots, it is just not healthy to cook on them, also improvements in cleaning would be good and sometimes some people after midnight were still noisy in the common area.

When we arrived our room smelt of feet and the beds were extremely uncomfortable, worse bed I've ever slept in I am glad it was only for one nught
