Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Hostel is nice and location is good however the building is quite old. The floors creak in the bedrooms and the hallways which adds a lot of noise. The bunk beds are a weird height, if you get a bottom bunk you can’t sit up in bed which is really annoying. I enjoyed the lounge room and study area when I need some quiet time though. The beds and linen were also comfortable and I never felt cold even in winter. No towels are provided though, they’re $8

The building is beautiful. The rooms were good. I had something drop down the side of the bed and there was an old Kleenex and pop bottle there. Kinda gross. Probably doesn't get cleaned often down there . Love the vibe at breakfast. People cooking or getting toast or cereal. Lots of chatter. Great for the younger crowd.

You get what you paid for

Overall, it served the exact purpose of my stay: a clean bed in a quiet room. I only needed the bed on this trip so the bunk bed was actually comfortable. Thanks to the other three young people sharing the quiet space, I had very good rest during nights. I think your experience really depends on how you want to experience it. There were bubbly young people who enjoyed party a bit more but there were also people like myself, preferring a bit down time from busy activities in Sydney.

The room stank! it was hot and not allowed to eat breakfast at 6:55! I paid a really high price for a hostel room on new years, but the staff were arrogant and rude. Close to St James but pretty much like every other hostel except price. Not worth it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and comfortable. Staff super helpful. Stay clouded by leaving my reading glasses behind (entirely my fault) but disappointed it was not possible to send a pre-stamped envelope to retrieve them.I fully understand there may be lots of items lost.... But reading glasses are surely a bit special (at my age they are!) Sadly I'm wasn't sufficiently technosavvy to organise a dhl collection. Otherwise stay excellent.

Found Rice in Bed Sheets

The common areas are kept relatively clean but the carpets in the hallways and rooms are covered in crumbs and specks of dirt. A shower overflowed and leaked water down two or three floors. I also found rice grains caked on the bed sheets. Travelers should be aware that the facility charges $7 for locks and $8 for towels.
