Best hostel in Sydney”
I was intending to stay here for only about a week ended up extending my stay a few more times just because the atmosphere and location of this place is amazing. The staff were nice and friendly always trying to get people to participate in hostel activities and always recommending things to do in or around bondi. The hostel is very clean bedrooms get cleaned everyday and bathrooms get cleaned a few times a day and the rooms were sprayed down at least twice within the time I stayed there - the hostel cares for the people that stay here and realise that nobody likes bugs and taking these precautions bed bugs and other nasty crawlies are avoided. The hostel isn’t necessarily a party hostel although people do go out quite a lot but the hostel has rules in place that limit noise disturbances and if you have a complaint they’ll deal with it appropriately and efficiently to make your stay better. Overall a great place to be lovely people and great location.

Location is spot on, overall comfortable hostel”
Good hostel, the place is clean and beds are comfortable. Communal areas are quiet after 11pm and no more drinking is allowed in the hostel, so you have to go out or go the bed! I was surprised that everyone actually stuck to this! The location is spot on for bondi beach, with free surf board hire etc. would recommend this hostel to people who aren't looking for a party hostel. Nice outside area to sit aswell. The only thing is don't expect much help from staff if you are looking for a job etc. Regardless of the posters around the hostel offering their services 'Just come and ask' you don't get a great deal of help! But otherwise good place to stay for 4/5days.

Great location ”
Great! The staff (afternoon shift) was really helpful and friendly. The one on night shift, well not so much. Anyways the location is fantastic, super close to bondi beach so if you're not looking at long term stays, surf side bondi is a good choice. I would go back!

Good location and friendly staff”
Me and my friend have booked 2 nights in this hostel. Location is good, 2 mins walk to the beach. But I'm able to give too much comment for this hostel as they had refer us to another hostel called Lamrock lodge, which is located on the other street which is about 8min walk from Surfside Bondi beach. Due to the room type that we booked is provate Twin sharing room, the staff told us that Lamrock lodge provide more private rooms. In the end, we took their advise and check in to the Lamrock lodge. Although we stayed in another hostel, we are still able to use their facilities like surf board. There are many facilities that the hostel provide, besides the surf board, they can also arrange tours in Sydney, car rental and even provide jobs for holiday working purpose. The Internet is chargeable but at low price. Staff is friendly and able to provide the necessary information.

Nice place, but almost too many veterans ”
Surfside Bondi Beach was a nice hostel, better than most hostels I've seen in Sydney. It was easy to get to know people and the common area was nice (one large table for everyone). The only minus would be that the people working there seemed to have a lot of drama going on. They all stayed at the hostel in a room as well. You could rent surf boards and body boards for free

Incredible Staff, and seconds from the beach”
this is a party part of Sydney - so if you are an "older traveller" , like me, don't forget your earplugs!

proper partyhostel”
The surfside hostel is a proper party place. It has a great chilled out atmosphere during the day and BBQ mondays. It's only 2 mins away from the beach and is one of the rare hostels with good mattresses. The staff is friendly but not really doing something. The receptionist is partying with the people and as i arrived at 8:30 am she had to be woken up by a drunken guest because she overslept. As apologize she told me she threw up the night before. The hostel gets cleaned regularily but not very well. The dishes are never clean, you always have to wash them before and after you use it. Apart from this, during my 2 nights stay there were 2 people throwing up in my room. So all in all: if you just like to chill out at the beach and get drunk at night it's the perfect place, if you like a little bit of normal life go somewhere else.

Affordable hostel, good location, sucky breakfast”
The room I booked was already rented out and I was assigned a different, although better, room. They automatically charged me 3 additional dollars for wi-fi which didn't work and I could not opt out. They give you cereal but you have to buy your own milk. They don't have toasts. The receptionist didn't know if I paid through Agoda or I had to pay more. Other than that, good location at affordable price.

Friendly staff, close to beach”
That was good if you love to surfing. Location is very near with beach. A little bit disappointed that we didn't get a breakfast although the hotel price is a little bit expensive. Only cereal but we must bring our own milk. But you get a special price for McD & Hungry Jack also suprisingly a lot of candy :)

Great place ”
Great place, great vibe great people. Everyone is happy to help each other and the hostel owners go out there way to make sure your stay is good. They even help you write you CV. Only a couple small downsides like the washing machines (need more of) and the toilets (need more of) but that’s really it.. is doesn’t put me off staying here. Overall, a very enjoyable stay

Good for surfers and parties bad for relaxing.”
Surfside offers plently to do for sports and playtime but not very clear on certain details concerning the services they provide, such as wifi which is not free and a very poor breakfast is offered which is not complete and you are forced to buy your own stuff and not having much space to store your items in the fridge. I was also a bit dissapointed by certain details which were not clear about the assistance they said they would provide on finding jobs. Overall its a young persons place and its a fun spot but more clarity would have been appreciated. The kitchen utensils where a bit dirty and the rooms really stink and it was very noisey however everyone was friendly and seemed like a close knit family making it a cool place to be.

since you can't sleep on the beach”
Vacuum was left in the room, but had not been used for sometime. Men's bathroom only had one of two toilet seats attached. If we were still in high school, would have been fine. Noise did stop at 11. Not impressed, especially after using New Zealand hostels.

It's OK”
We sstayed in * bed Dorm. The room is so messy may be the roomates have stayed there for quite a while and leave things around. Need proper locker or storage in the room. That might help to keep the room tidy.

Rude staff”
Being told that I made the staffs day worse because of a mistake that was irrelevant. 50$ key deposit that you can't get back the next day because they decide to close the reception. Not professional at all. Bathrooms are very unclean. Wouldn't stay here again ever
