• Tayla (10/5): Great location - Stayed here a few times now and it’s gotten a lot better. The bunks are comfortable but the staff members are incredibly approachable. I stayed in a 4 person all female dorm, and the female only getting ready area was great! The location is fantastic, and it’s very quiet despite where it is! The showers could be a lot cleaner than what they were.
• Eileen (10/5): -
• Clément (3/5): -
• Rose (1/5): I booked this for my son and he was turned away and not given a bed. The money has not been refunded to me despite calli -
• Thorsten (10/5): - Unkomplizierter Check in, App statt Schlüssel, sehr zentrale Lage Verkehrslärm die ganze Nacht, alte Fenster, die kaum Lärm isolieren. Keine Wurst, kein Käse, kein Ei zum Frühstück, aber viele Gelegenheiten außerhalb zu frühstücken
• Bethany (10/5): -
• Solaine (4/5): - Les douches et wc n ont pas été nettoyés durant tout notre séjour, étaient sales et les douches sentaient l urine. De plus la partie sèche des douches étaient inondées donc impossible de se changer au sec. Peu d isolement dans la chambre que nous avions qui était très bruyante avec la ville et un feu a piou juste au coin de la fenêtre.
• Apoljane Vhalerie Salazar (9/5): -
• Raphael (9/5): Best party and socialize hostel in Sydney (haven’t been to others tbh 😂) - Friendly staff, clean, social atmosphere/ environment
• rajnesh (10/5): - Customer service
• Hee (8/5): Lovely place to stay - Quiet Clean
• Christina (6/5): -
• Bruno (9/5): - La ubicación es muy buena y el personal muy atento, te envían mensajes contándote sobre las actividades diarias del hotel. Cómo hay fiestas puedes tener bulla hasta la madrugada, pero es un Hostel así que se entiende que sea así, por lo demás todo bien.
• Hjalte Anton Nylander (7/5): - Beliggenheden Meget larm
• Nelsoncloutier06 (9/5): - Room is the better Room key
• chen (5/5): -
• Mai (7/5): Great stay in the center of Sydney. - Very good location in the CBD. Townhall station is only 2 mins away and you will get to Woolworth or QVB or other stores. Kitchen is located downstairs if you brought groceries to cook or eat. Easy check in and apps become a room key and open facility such as shared bathroom and shower room. Nothing much, for only one night stay it was good enough.
• Kam Nei Tammy (3/5): 體驗不友善嘅旅館 - 近市區搭地鐵巴士都好方便，附近有超市方便買嘢，窗外見到城市嘅街景都好靚 接待的員工態度好差，我住獨立房間，一個星期有2日沒有來打掃房間，加上遇着落雨屋頂漏水，地氈發出噏味，房間太細，轉身都困難，房間嘅配套好少，得一個垃圾桶一張枱一張凳，私人用品擺放困難
• Eva May (4/5): -
• Jessica (7/5): - Location was great and the room was pretty good for what you pay for. The room is above a pub/bar and it is extremely loud especially on weekends. The rooms also aren't very sound proof so you hear everyone in the hallways clearly
• Zoe (5/5): - Location Were given a room that the aircon was leaking down the wall, through electricity and soaking the carpet, which made the room stink. Told reception and they were happy to change rooms so seems like it was a known issue but they still rather put someone in the room. They are cashless but have an exorbitant card fee, which isn’t fair if you can’t pay with cash
• Rafael (6/5): -
• Ellen (7/5): -
• Johanna (8/5): Nuorten kaupunkilaisten hostelli - Sain täällä todella hyvät unet, koska huoneen ilmastointi piti rentouttavaa ääntä johon muut äänet sekoittuivat. Iso hostelli, ei niin siisti.

• Tabea (7/5): Für ein paar Tage ist die Unterkunft sehr gut. Es ist kein Luxus Hotel aber das sollte einem bei einer Buchung eines Hos - Die Lage war sehr gut. Es fand jeden Tag etwas statt, um Anschluss zu finden: coastal Walk, Programm in der Bar nebenan. Die Küche war für eine Hostel Küche sehr sauber. Unser Zimmer lag direkt über der Bar und dadurch war es sehr laut gerade Freitag und Samstag bis in die Nacht. In den Duschen gab es keine Ablagen. Im Zimmer gab es außer einem kleinen Nachtschränkchen keine Möglichkeit Kleidung aus dem Koffer zu räumen
• Brian (10/5): -
• Jane (9/5): Fun, good vibes, good people. - There’s a great vibe. The beds and pillows were clean and really comfy (which was a surprise as I’ve stayed in lots of places around Sydney). The room was pretty nice. But it was the “Deluxe” dorm with a bathroom shared with the other 5 beds in the room. The staff member who greeted my at check in was chill but knew what they were doing and very polite and efficient. Well I knew it would be noisy but Wednesday night is the Wet T-Shirt comp at the bar next door and it was going crazy! I had really good ear plugs and I don’t mind the walls shaking. But be prepared or make sure you go out on Wed night. The other nights were quieter.
• Barker (3/5): Nomads Sydney - Location. Big room and ensuite. Has a pub and travel business. TV remote broken when we arrived. Doona had a large brown stain. So many stairs! But elevator not working or limited functionality 4 out of the 6 days. Even a deluxe room had no fridge or microwave, so had to use backpacker kitchen. Food stolen predictably. Worst of all was the loud music every night until well into morning. Whole building seems to be under renovation.
• Jennifer (8/5): -
• ANN (7/5): Basic accomodation, close to public transport, great for short stays. - The property was relatively easy to access due to close proximity to public transport. From there I was able to quickly access light rail to Circular Quay The room was a bit small, however because I was just staying 1 night it did not matter. It was just somewhere to stay before boarding a cruise ship.
• Jürgen Homann (9/5): -
• Winfried (7/5): -
• Pauline (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Ideal location 👌 Activities Whatsapp Group Private rooms just right ✅️
• Silvana (2/5): No volvería - No Era sucio, descuidado, claramente no limpiaban bien
• Alyssa (3/5): - Location Everything was dirty and gross
• Antequera (4/5): I wish I booked a hotel. - Location was great! The lack of urgency when someone threw up in the room I was staying at.
• paula (4/5): Decepcionante - Esta muy bien ubicado y la habitacion tenia aire acondicionado Los camarotes sonaban mucho cuando alguien de la habitacion se movia, el enchufe estaba muy lejos de la cama, no hay luz en tu espacio personal y tampoco cortinas como sale en las fotos.
• Agnieszka (9/5): -
• Roda Garcia (1/5): Mal - La ubicación Las camas eran horribles, no cambiaron las sabanas, estaban todas sucias y con olor a pies. Luego la limpieza era muy mala también. Los olores eran desagradables, me cobraron un dia de más y me registraron un dia de menos. Pero la parte más horrible eran las habitaciones, el mal olor y que no limpiaban ni cambiaban las sabanas.
• luca lena (3/5): Would not recommend - The kitchen was really big and clean! Our room was damp, the windows were mouldy and it smelled of damp and mould all the time. It was difficult to sleep in.
• Janis (2/5): -
• Francisca (10/5): -
• Iker (5/5): -
• Julie (1/5): -
• Kathryne (10/5): -
• Russell (8/5): Very happy with this accomodation. Easy check in process and access once set up - Very good price and a very central and convenient location Rooms are small.
• Osman (8/5): -
• 千 (10/5): -
• Munson (4/5): Average - Not much Pretty dirty, uncomfortable stay and overpriced for 2 star facility
• Jan B. (2/5): Don't waste your money here, the hostel needs a major renovation. It's nothing like the photos!!! - Most of the staff are very good! Some should rather be working at a much better accommodation. Location okay Very dirty, smells bad everywhere. 2/3 of the showers were not working and the light in the bathroom turned off every 3 seconds. No soap in dispenser for 5 days in one bathroom Bed in premium room very uncomfortable. Storage in the 2nd room old & useless, no curtains to neighbour room, so when they turned the light on it was bright in the other room too. Couches in common area are disgusting & falling apart. Nothing remotely like the photos on booking.com! The kitchen is very bad, dirty and closed from 10pm - 7am The ,,locked Storeroom'' is open all day. Every day annoying advertisement for the bar next door blasting through the speakers in every room. Very noisy with the Pub, which is basically part of the hostel. The free ,,BBQ'' ist plane white bread with an old sausage they offer for about 30min inside the pub. Fire exits/ doors that lead to stairs not clearly visible marked, apart from the mandatory sign above the door which due to the size of the hallway isn't obvious enough on it's own. Evacuation map useless as it doesn't show position. As a firefighter I'd advise to change that, as well as several other points to avoid mass panic and casualties if something goes wrong!
• Amy (10/5): -
• Delwyn Jair (8/5): -
• Olhede (9/5): -
• Christoph (3/5): -
• Peter (7/5): Was fine to stay a night and good value for money - Very convenient location Noisy being above a club.
• Andrew (5/5): Staff were nice and helpful. - Friendly staff who are always willing to help. The place is a little bit old. You can hear boise outside on the streets when you sleep. But, these seem to be things that you may not be able to control.
• Amanda (1/5): -
• ALIYE (6/5): -
• Lee (3/5): Would we tay there again? No. Great location but not what I would have expected for the money we pai - Location was perfect (but not with a bar directly outside the window!). Private facilities Extremely disappointed. Website photos (which is on what we based our booking) were not what we received. The room was average (including damage to doors - not by us; sink not draining; the very small lip to go into the tiny bathroom is a trip hazard [actually cut toe on it!]). Breakfast was included but no mention of where it was (and actually we didnt get it). As mentioned above, not impressed about being directly above a bar which meant (with no double glazing), that sleep didn't happen until the early hours of the morning . Kettle and cups but that was all. Yes, this is a hostel but again, we expected more for the cost
• Josshua alexandre (10/5): -
• Tammy (7/5): Good. - Staff were quick to requests, staff were very nice, happy to help. great location, clean room. I live with low vision so a room closer to the lifts and not so many stairs would have been good.
• Gloria (9/5): -
• Arpan (8/5): - Amazing friendly front desk team. The property location is the best, very central, right in the cbd, next to george street, townhall train station. You can catch the airport train to townhall & walk out to Kent street, nomads is right there. An easy 5 min stroll to the light rail - direct to circular quay, opera house. Room layout - Private room - Perhaps the bed can be shifted towards the window, by removing 1 bedside lamp, it will make more space. Door access- The doors & bathrooms are accessed by your an app using bluetooth. That can be a annoying & can take time. People usually would not want to carry their phones to the bathroom & flat battery issues etc. Standard key works better. The concept will take time
• Renata (6/5): -
• Debayan (8/5): - Kitchen.room.
• Tammy (9/5): Fantastic - great service, great location great staff who were able to problem solve quickly and efficiently. NA
• Tammy (10/5): Great, will book again - Room was fantastic, bed really comfortable, great Location, fantastic people and staff. Was all round a great place to saty Share toilet could have smelled a bit better but otherwise clean.
• Ric Anthony (9/5): We enjoyed our stay. we got to stroll around CBD - The location is very near to everything thats what we like about it. Maybe the parking space
• Sofia (6/5): good location, bad stay to rest - I liked the location of the hostel, was a great spot, not too far from the center All of the room smelled as a cigarette and the blankets were not that thick… if we think about that was winter when I stayed there (the pillow was good). The door and the bed were too loud, every time that someone was getting into the room the door slammed and closed very hard, and the bed squeaked loudly with every slightest movement. You woke up several times during the night because of this kind of noise… I think for $37 a night I would have found something much better, with more comfort and peace. All the staff is very friendly and I didn’t have any problem with them :)
• Rashmi (8/5): -
• Kelsi (8/5): -
• Yesnaby (8/5): -
• Thian Enn (7/5): Nice and comfortable! Location was super convenient to use trams and walk to the convention centre - Convenient location. Staff were friendly and there were lifts around for people with limited mobility. I could hear the music from the bar below but this was managed with noise cancelling headphones.
• Audrey (8/5): -
• Abigail (8/5): - Really social hostel, with good social areas and facilities, comfy room but pretty basic Could have been slightly cleaner but was still good
• Janek (7/5): - Over all really nice Sophie from the lobby was an angel friendly helpful gave the feeling I am home !
• Felix (7/5): -
• Christma (8/5): - location, bed and pillow was comfy. 8 bed dorm has no aircon seems like? aircon was not available for 8 bedroom? all girls
• Ruth Anne (2/5): Awful - Nothing Smelly, dirty, no air con and bad conditions
• Benjamin (7/5): - The place was nicely cleaned and the bathrooms were in working order. The place could have used a bit of signage to find the room, and the bunk beds could have used a bit of wall stabilisation as little movement affects the other sleeper.
• Geefierce (10/5): One night in city - Staff, beds clean and comfortable
• Xianzhe (9/5): Good - price was good bed and bathroom were not clean enough, bed sheet had stains
• Angelo D. (8/5): - Very nice position, close to railway station and very comfortable for public transport A lot of pubs and recreative stuff around Nothing
• Dan (7/5): I enjoyed it and its very open and clean and happy and central to the city - No comment, a few staff members need to be kind to more people. Nothing. It is a very good place to stay
• Du (8/5): -
• Paulo (5/5): - Location and price Improve facilities, create better single beds like other close by hostels
• Martin (6/5): - Great location. In the center Super hard pillows and not comfortable beds
• Fernando (7/5): -
• Dmitrii (8/5): Неудобное расположение электрических розеток для верхних кроватей. - Хорошее расположение - недалеко от центральной станции и основных достопримечательностей. Для проживания требуется зарегистрироваться в специальном приложении, которое выдает электронный ключ. У меня заранее в нем зарегистрироваться не получилось, впрочем, при регистрации на рецепции его установить помогли.
• Pelletier (10/5): - Ellis was àmazing at thé front desk helping us out
• Anne (9/5): Hyvä - Keskeinen sijainti. Pääsin kävellen joka paikkaan. Mukava ja auttavainrn henkilökunta Liikenteen melusta. Asukkaat eivät moikkailleey. Auttoivat kyllä kun kysyi.
• Nicolas (10/5): Fantastic - I had an amazing stay at this hostel! After a long and exhausting trip, arriving here felt like a huge relief. Ellie at reception was absolutely incredible, she was friendly, welcoming, and truly attentive. She made the whole check-in process so smooth and lifted my mood instantly. The hostel itself is fantastic, but staff warmth and professionalism made the experience even better. Highly recommended! 🙌
