"The hostel is cosy and social. It’s not a party hostel, but people do socialise in the kitchen. The beds are the drawback here - they are rickety and every time someone moves in their bed, you can hear the springs. Also my bed moved every time the guy in the top bunk rolled around. I’m 193cm and couldn’t stretch out in the bed. Difficult to sleep. If you value your sleep, find another place. "

Top Sydney Hotel Reviews

Paradox Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here for our first time in Sydney! Great service, lovely room, and fantastic location. So close to a metro line and so easily walkable to Circular Quay and the Rocks. Lots of dining options around and it's a beautiful heritage building. "

PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney

10/10 Excellent

"First time at this chain. Attentive staff, clean common areas. Hotel was busy, but the lifts ran well with very little wait time. Room was clean. Plenty of supplies in the bathroom and tea/coffee bench. Aside from worn door handles on the cupboards, a very positive and enjoyable stay. Breakfast buffet was nice - plenty of variety plus including a cook to order egg station. Didn't feel crowded even thought it was busy. Darling Harbour is literally across the road. So convenient to stroll over and watch the 9pm fireworks via the pedestrian footbridge shortcut. Town Hall/QVB a 5 minute walk up the road. Pitt St Mall 10 mins. Chinatown 5 minutes away, plenty of food options."
