    The hostel is good. It is very social and you can find a connection here very quickly if you travel alone. Activities are done every evening, such as quiz shows or movie nights. The rooms are rather smaller, but cosy. There are also sinks in the four rooms. There is something cooked to eat every evening and the kitchen is well equipped.

    The bathrooms weren’t the cleanest and also not big enough for the amount of people who needed to use them. Bunks on all the beds could have curtains, we found this would’ve made the stay a lot comfier as we were in the 8 bed and hung our towels up etc for privacy.

    Dinners in the evening were really good and saved the hassle of cooking in camp kitchen. The plugs and lights in each bunks were good, as well as the storage.

    Hostel was clearly too small for the number of guests staying, so kitchen and bathrooms were offen messy, also a lot of noise during the night because of rude guests.

    Free dinners were always super good, they even had a vegetarian option every time! Great location, close to kings cross station and within walking distance from CBD, museums, opera house etc Comfy beds

    There’s no enough spots or furnitures to put my stuff there’s only a locket and this room specifically it’s a disaster for this coz there’s was a lot of things on the floor, struggling my way to walking or other guests.

    I love the work of the stuff they’re really helpful and cheerful, everything was always clean, the kitchen it wasn’t a disaster and toilets always clean.

    The bathrooms definitely need a twice a day cleaning because it got a little terrible by end of day. No AC in rooms, I slept well regardless, but it's something to note

    The location is great. Free dinner is good value. I thought the beds were comfortable

    Room was QUITE hot. Bathroom had flies and was rusting :(.

    The location was good and the free food was great! Also check-in and luggage storage was really easy, and I left a bag by the front desk and it was still there when I came back for it.

    Rooms get hot. Although you do get a fan which helps but can still get a bit warm on the top bunk. Bathrooms weren't that clean. Can also be a bit noisy.

    Free dinner every night. Great location. Own plugs next to the bed. Hostel events nightly.

    The size of the room is very small, it was imposible to arrange our luggage since other's people stuff was also in the floor. The space is a bit tight in the rooms. There are several floors and no elevator The bed pillow was very uncomfortable. There was only one operative shower in the women's bathroom for the whole floor.

    The location is great and the staff very friendly. They give you a free lunch in the check in day and there are free dinners. You can leave your luggage before and after check in They left us do very early check in. It is possible to do laundry for 3 dollars wash and 3 dollars drying.

    The hole experience was very noisy. People walking through the corridors and talking thourgh the facilities. And there was a construction in front of my window, where people was taliking very loudly

    I liked the staff and the fact that they gave us free dinner. The commom spaces were good and the staff was very worried about the cleaning

    We stayed for 2 weeks, after a week we found mouldy pizza and ice cream under the sink and a leaking bottle of orange juice under the bed.. HOWEVER the second week the rooms were cleaned daily so can't fault them and they did clean it as soon as we spotted it.

    5* For Rory & Ella, they are an asset to the hostel and made our stay! Exceeded our hostel expectations. Dinner was fab every night.
