5 minutes walk to the station and shops that's what we need right? WiFi works great in my room staff were friendly and helpful. Clean rooms no bad. I am a person that likes easy access to everything and every place, well you got it

Getting better ”
I stayed here before and there were lots of improvements since my last visit. Pros: very friendly people and staff, clear layout, clean, nice social areas, comfy beds Cons: would be nice to have an oven, very hard to get the hobs to work

There were cockroaches.. ”
There were cockroaches so i cut short my stay. It was value for money and the location was good but the cockroaches were a no go.

It’s OK ”
Cheap accommodation close to central station, the hostel itself is pretty run down, bathrooms are pretty gross, and very noisy at night time with all of the traffic.

There’s a reception super super rude! ”
A young girl in reception, she is very rude, sounds like an English, slim one. She is uneducated

Could use more toilets for the amount of people staying, 12 people per room felt like overcrowded”
Tripping over people’s belongings in the rooms. Though I will say that all Staff were friendly and helpful.

Sydney is expensive and you pay for what you get”
Staff was nice, close to central station (train/bus station), not the cleanest (bugs in shower)

It looks way better online”
This place is soooo dirty in person. Also, it's for sure a party hostel, bring earplugs if you actually plan to sleep at all. That being said the staff was all super nice and over all I did enjoy my stay.

Roaches and dirty bathrooms”
Staff was very friendly but that can’t make up for the cockroaches I found crawling on the hallway walls or the dorm room. Poorly cleaned rooms and bathrooms, I was pretty grossed out my entire stay.

cheap and ok for party hostel”
TBH i stayed over a month, its in a good location and its low cost, apart from that i would avoid it The rooms have few fans no ac no curtains and back onto a main road so its loud, hot and light, as far as i know there is about 8 showers/toilets for 130 guests, the kitchen is an joke and the stove tops bairly work, clothes etc that were in boxes were taken from under my bed and putr into the free/ lost box..even tho they had medication ontop that was MARKED with my name etc. management is nice BUT it doesnt need nice people , it needs people to MANAGE everything my food kept going missing from the fridge and on the last day we caught someone on camera- one of the staff members!... the staff member opperating the camera tried to deny he even knew who it was even tho he had been there 2 months, dont get me wrong the hostel has potential but you gotta sort it out!

Acceptable”
Building overall is quite old (I noticed leaking pipes and somewhat unappealing carpet/walls). Only a single bathroom (1 person) indoors while all others are outside near the garden. Rooms are small but do have lockers and plug near bed. Extremely loud and heavy on people who drink/party if you are into that. Wasn't my thing and I moved out early after an altercation with a drunk roommate late at night

Acceptable”
Sooooo crazy horrible terrible and disgusting place. Big disgusting smell in the room. There are mice and cockroaches everywhere. A lot of rubbish in the room and nobody clean it or wash the bed after the roommates left for two days. Kitchen and the public area are very dirty. I had one of the worst experiences at this hostel. I booked for 3 nights but as soon as I got back to the room, I was seized by the stale smell, dirt and lack of hygiene (a used condom dragged down and other waste). I could not sleep one night, unbearable. This hostel is certainly cheap, but this should not exclude hygiene! TO FORBID!

Good pick for longer stayers- ”
Much the same as any backpacker. The secret garden is the main attraction that sets it apart - cool socialising factor ++. Internet works, and there is a big bank of clothes washers. Clean rooms with high security door locks, big steel lockers in room. Very good. I found it quieter than the heart of the city, so got a good sleep. Around the corner there is 2 hour street parking 8AM to 8PM. I heard a lot of Spanish speakers at this place.
