The location is unbeatable—right next to Central Station. Both the beds and the shared bathrooms are very clean, and the hostel even offers a free walking city tour. The kitchen is spacious, well-managed, and perfect for cooking your own meals. I would definitely choose to stay here again the next time I visit Sydney.

It was in a very convenient spot within the Sydney CBD. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Vibes within the place were immaculate. The shared toilets were mostly clean. The laundry was also very easy and convenient to access. Great stay overall. Would consider booking again if I ever came back to Sydney.

Not really the best option

Very disappointed in the room basic for what I paidA long way to the shared bathroom. Better to get a shared room which is a much better price. Someone told me there are much more affordable rooms about 2 min walk (well that info was a bit late for this trip). Nothing open for coffee till 8 I was told. So left for the central station without having a hot drink.

Short stay value for money

As I was in town to review a show, we booked an overnight stay. We knew the accomodation offered was budget, and booked a private room with shared bathroom facilities. Our request for 'accomodation as high as possible' was met and we were accomodated on the 6th floor. Though basic the room was clean, comfortable, as were the bathroom facilities. As the property is situated very close to public transport, it suited our needs perfectly, offered excellent value, and we would have no hesitation in staying there again.

Great place to stay

The hostel is great, lots of people from all over and a very friendly atmosphere. I was able to check in early and considering I had just arrived from London it was super helpful. The beds were clean although when I was on the 7th floor it got very hot at night. The events the hostel runs were fun and were great value for money. However the Side Bar adjacent to the hostel have horrible door men, If you are a black or middle eastern man good luck being allowed in. I was with my group of friends twice in a row "sorry mate not tonight" where as the rest of the group allowed in, considering the second time I didn't even have a drink before due to being weary about the bouncers. When I told him I sober as he claimed I walked past him, so did the rest of the group?

The double ensuite was a suitable sized room but it didn’t have the appropriate amenities. A fridge in the room, nicer bed sheets, a bin besides the one in the bathroom, poor water pressure and inconvenient sized bathroom - no place to hang a towel or put clothes down to change.

I wouldn't want to Wake Up anywhere else

I had an excellent stay from beginning to end. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation, and had the activities, facilities and key card explained to me. When I checked out, I received a friendly farewell and was asked if I needed my bags to be stored. I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of my private double room, complete with desk and television. However, the windows were unable to be opened to allow air circulation, and I could not locate an air conditioner. It was lucky therefore that I was staying during the colder months, so this didn't bother me, but I hate to think how stuffy and hot the room would become during Summer. Furthermore, the foam mattress was uncomfortable, the walls paper thin, and loud noises from the street could be easily heard, and sometimes made it difficult to get to sleep. This is to be expected though from a hostel, and I was happy to overlook this. I am looking forward to choosing Wake Up Sydney when I next travel, because there is no other place where I'd rather Wake Up. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
