Value for Money Private Room with Private Bathroom”
With location so strategic within the city, one minute walk away from Kings Cross station and surrounded by lively neighborhood of Potts Point and Darlinghurst, it's really easy to go every where during our 3 days stays. Kings Cross is within the same line to Bondi and its only one bus ride away from the famous Opera House. We opt for private room with private bathroom, and I must say it's really value for money. You won't find private bathroom anywhere below $110/night within the area. Despite the building itself is very old, but the room is quite nice and new. We had some trouble with cockroach the first night, but otherwise it's quite clean. The shower is good with hot water, they had well working fridge, tv, and also electric heater for your morning coffee.

This place is great for backpackers and on vacation with friends. Not really recommended tourist with kids or with elderly, as they may need bigger room.

VALUE FOR MONEY!”
Stayed here for three nights in June 2017 in a single room w/ensuite and although very basic, the room did the job! most staff were accomodating and just across the road from King's Cross station, what's not to like! cheers guys!

we stayed in a double room with private bathroom, you get what you pay for really, was affordable, nothing glamourous. staff were laid back and chilled. not too much noise. overall it could have been a lot worse

Nice place for backpackers overall”
Nice place if you don't mind the room and bed too much. Kitchen and laundry close at 10pm might be a little inconvenient. The area (around Kings Cross) is full with strange crowds at night and might be a little noisy. But the staff is very friendly and helpful!

Regret”
Stayed in a Private Room with attached Bathroom. Location is good. Bed & Pillows were really comfortable. However, cleanliness is bad as there were about alot of cockroaches on the floor and was afraid they might get on the bed as well. Complained to the front office, and was cleaned. But the cockroaches appeared again the following day. There was also no wifi connection. Staff told me that it is normal that the wifi does not work. The attached bathroom is small. Would have rather stayed somewhere else for the price i paid.

Switched hostels”
I have never had to change hostels before actually spending the night until this one. It’s dirty, rooms are cluttered (sure, you could say it’s up to the guests, but you could also impose strict rules what can and cannot be kept/done in rooms like it’s done in other hostels), it’s very loud, smells of weed inside. If you want peace and quiet, you won’t find it here. It’s chaotic, I was first assigned to one room, which turned out to be full. I was then assigned to another one, which, despite booking a female dorm, I was supposed to share with 2 other men. The only good thing was that when I requested a refund, they gave it to me right away.

Perfect Stay”
Very pleasant stay and very calm place. Saturday and Friday night would be a little noisy but excellent otherwise.

Cockroaches were everywhere, and when I asked they told me all hostels in Sydney would have them, which isn't true. There was a police incident regarding someone in the building, a guy who tried to break into a woman's room and ended up shoving her into the street and pushing her into parked cars and trees. The police were called, but the guy got away. When I asked the staff about that they said he's done that before and would probably do it again. I asked if they would let him come back and they said yes. This place is not safe. It's also right at King's Cross, which is an incredibly sketchy area.

Good for a short stay.”
Only had a short stay in a 4 bed dorm. Definitely suited my needs, close proximity to the city and nightlife, great value for money 7.5 out of 10.

Very disappointed that we decided to check out 2 days earlier ”
Our room is next to the kitchen and dinning area . There were couple young people still talking and laughing loudly at 2 am right next to the sign “ please keep quite after 10” And that it understandable because that what hostel usually like as it is a place for young people to have social event and sometimes they go out of control . What disappointed is when I discuss this issue with the manager of the night I was literally told “ this is a hostel , next time book a hotel” The other staff was fine and trying to help us by change our room to a less noisy part of the backpacker, but there wasn’t space available which was fine coz I could see their altitude is trying to help us and solve the issue . Whereas this particular manager are so proud of the backpacker that he said “ we are fully booked because it is a lovely place” A place where the response to a issue is “ next time get a hotel isn’t really my idea of a lovely place .

Not worth the price”
The location is very convenient and the rooms did their job, but the service wasn’t very good, every little thing cost money, and it was overpriced for a room with only bunk beds. Yes it’s cheap at $100 but you can invest in better hotels for $150 plus. Regardless, it did it’s job for the time being.
