Guest Reviews
- Jeffrey (10/5): -
- Giovanni (1/5): -
- Mahmud (8/5): - Great location, cleanliness and affordability Limited shared bathroom, long waiting time
- Louise (8/5): -
- smart (6/5): - Reception girl was very polite friendly and helpful Stairs i had a 20kg bag and train was leaving at 6am so couldnt store luggage and the top bunk bed the pole to climb up was slippery i almost kicked man im lower bunk
- Natasha (7/5): Fine - Struggled to find the location even around the corner the signage needed to be more
- Marco (10/5): -
- Indy (8/5): -
- Sangeeta (5/5): -
- 陳 (9/5): - Excellent location; clean rooms and bathroom facilities; personal lockers available, please bring your own locker. I stayed for a week and wasn't used to it at first. There was some noise from the bar next door at night, but it usually stopped by midnight. The bed, pillows, and comforters were very comfortable. There was a fan in the room so it wasn't too hot. It would have been even better if there was a curtain around the bed. The bathroom and toilet are in the same room. Sometimes there are many people in the bathroom, and if someone is showering, it's impossible to use the toilet. The kitchen only has basic equipment: a microwave, an electric rice cooker, and a kettle; there's no way to cook anything.
- Capezotoza (9/5): -
- Fortington (10/5): - The location No elevators The stairs
- PHUTTHA (8/5): -
- jason (4/5): - Loud music with repetitive heavy bass coming through ear plugs till early in the morning, no airconditioning so room was too warm, the room had a small portable floor fan which only covered one lower bunk, and the one only window of the west facing room eg towards direct sun, which we had to open to attempt to cool the room down did not have fly wire to ensure mosquitos or other insects didn't enter the room
- Viktoria (10/5): -
- Diego Manuel (8/5): - Location and rooms No AC
- Adam (6/5): Good location, good facilities, rooms near the street so it is loud - The room was a decent size for three people. Kitchen facilities were sufficient with two fridges and enough utensils to use. Rooms and kitchens were clean. Reception staff were very helpful. Bathrooms could have been cleaned better or more often. They have specific labelled bathrooms for men and women which didn’t make sense as each room is individual not shared so these are not needed. Water was off for multiple hours over multiple days, while this wasn’t the properties fault they could have communicated better. We had to call to get an answer, they didn’t really provide a solution we had to call to find out. Cleaning staff kicked us out of the kitchen while we were using it, yes they had to clean, however we were using the facilities, they weren’t very nice. Rooms only have a fan and you have to walk up many flights of stairs to get to your rooms, it is very loud, they offer ear plugs at reception
- Wessley (8/5): -
- Dario (10/5): - The place was great. it was a great location and great price for and great stay. Absolutely would stay again and would recommend. it was my first time visiting and i was thoruoughly impressed.
- Yang (2/5): 太差了😬 - 洗澡，上厕所，做饭 都挺方便的，位置还不错，很方便出去玩，离景点很近。 1，晚上快要吵死了2，check- in离真正住的地方很远3，没有电梯，得搬行李上去4，没空调，只能开电风扇5，性价比太低了🤮🤮🤮
- Jeremy (7/5): - The location was amazing. The room was exactly like the photos, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom got the job done. Combining the toilet and shower was only awkward in one of them. For the price and especially the location, it was worth it. Plenty of great food options nearby. The property didn't have a lift, and our room was at the top of 3 flights of stairs. It made it a lot harder to get to the room while the humidity was so high. Also, make sure to find parking somewhere close by since the inn doesn't have on-site parking.
- Michael (8/5): - Location Bathroom very dirty
- Joralyn (5/5): nothings - good for toilet and bedroom too small Fan that not comfort and sweat all body during sleep on the bed.. must big or medium fan so good enough and good comfortable sleep
- Thi (10/5): - Clean and convenient
- Oscar (9/5): -
- Jules (10/5): -
- Kohei (10/5): -
- Gedi (10/5): A comfortable hotel with a great environment, reasonable pricing, and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. - The hotel environment is very pleasant and well maintained, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere throughout the stay. The price is reasonable and offers great value for money compared to similar hotels in the area. Most importantly, the staff are extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. They are always happy to help and ready to assist with any requests, which made the overall experience even more enjoyable. I had a very satisfying stay and would happily choose this hotel again.
- Thawangorn (9/5): Great budget hostel - Comfy bed and pillow
- BIJAYA (5/5): Fair - I had not include any break fast only night stay. There should be some lock for the locker where we can put or belongings and travel bag and lock having piece of mind so organisation should buy some locks for locker in the room.
- Ilja (8/5): -
- TSUNG-PEI (8/5): -
- Hélène (9/5): -
- Amendra (9/5): cheap, central and safe - rooms are basic, but meet the needs of a budget friendly request sound from the bar downstairs
- SangHun Kim (1/5): 여름 중 묵었던 숙소 중 최악 - 좋은점 없음 여름에 너무 더워서 방에 들어가면 더위를 식혀줄 장치가 하나도 없음 너무 더워서 창문이라도 열면 훨씬 괜찮았었는데, 열려고했는데 고정이 되어있어서 더 활짝 열 수 없어서 계속 찜통 사우나에 있는 듯한 기분으로 있었고 자면서도 계속 깰 수 밖에 없었음. 여름,겨울에는 최악일 듯.
- Alireza (4/5): Poor facilities - Location only Reception in a different building, room in level 3 with no lift, no air conditioning and the room was so hot, no iron no hair dryer despite the ad saying they do provide
- Alisa (7/5): - Rooms comfortable Shared bathrooms dirty
- Luckie (10/5): -
- Carina (4/5): -
- Casey Anne (8/5): you get what you get and you don't get upset. - the buliding you sleep in is in a really good location in the city and the room is pretty spacious and clean and quiet during the day and most of the evening, there is a pub underneath the hotel so sometimes live music is played there are lots of stairs and you need to share the bathrooms with others, which can be a disadvantage as a cue for the bathroom/toilet can form and the pub downstairs is rather loud when live music is playing from 9 pm- 2 am on certain nights
- kaina (10/5): -
- Angela (9/5): -
- Stephen (8/5): - Location,rooms clean Kitchen lacks ability to cook meals
- Katsiaryna (8/5): -
- Wang (9/5): -
- Ngaire (7/5): Great location. Helpful staff. Big rooms and quiet. - The location was amazing. Easy to walk to central station and get my way around from there. The room was bigger than normal and clean. The bathrooms were relatively clean. The rooms were hot and could benefit from ceiling fans or aircon. They provided small space fans that were not adequate. The stairs were hard to use and we needed to use the service lift to take our big bags up. The bathrooms got wet and slippery easily. Better drainage would helps.
- Lachy (7/5): -
- Jenny-Lyne (10/5): Would stay again - Close to train station No aircon option available
- Kiri (7/5): - Good value for money. There was a lot of noise from bars and the city which made it hard to sleep.
- Cristian (6/5): - After 23 you have to go in another build bring your keys
- Sarah (8/5): Easy stay with good location - Good location and room was clean Check in at a different location, and had to climb a few flights of stairs with a 25kg suitcase
- Sereima (2/5): - The staff were polite and friendly and helpful Check in at one building and stay at a different location. The stairs up to the rooms were high and difficult to carry suitcases up the staircase. Would have been nicer to have a sink at least in the room to wash hands and face. There was no airconditioning in the room.The beds were bunks, not suitable for bigger women like me and my sister, one of us ended up sleeping on the floor. Not having enough bathrooms and toilets to share, only 2 on our floor
- Charlotte (7/5): A central travelling hostel - Good central location, room was spacious, staff was very friendly at reception No reception in the hostel (you have to go around the corner in another one), so if you need help they have a phone number but being able to speak to someone is nicer and more efficient most of the time. Internet didn't work during half of my stay. No individual light at each bed,

- Ezra (7/5): -
- Mary Ann (3/5): Very disappointed I will not go back - Cleanliness No lift for elderlies like me One bathroom for girl and one for man in 3rd floor Very noisy at nite to sleep NO AIRCON!
- Tonijs (8/5): -
- sec (8/5): -
- Nicki (7/5): Serviceable for its location and price - Fantastic availability to nearby attractions. Very basic and suited our needs for two nights The bar below was very drum and bass
- Franklin (9/5): -
- Thi Phuong Thao (10/5): -
- Geaghan (4/5): - the stairs
- Valentina (5/5): -
- The White Lion (6/5): -
- Rebekkah (7/5): A nice place in central Sydney for an overnight stay - It was very central, staff were lovely and decent value for where you were The stairs, if you are someone who struggles with a lot of stairs this isn’t the place. They do share an elevator with the bar next door but you have to do it at a certain time,
- Murray (7/5): Good value I. Overpriced city - Location Had to check in at different hotel around corner.
- lalanne (8/5): -
- Joven (7/5): -
- Simon-Joas (10/5): -
- Kemuel (10/5): Really good, comfortable place for both long and short stays. - Quiet, smaller hostel with great bathroom and kitchen facilities! There is also a single washer and dryer here for laundry if needed which is good. The location is great for getting to sightsee and has all available public transport nearby. You have to go to the Pod Sydney to check-in which is up the road and around the corner then come back down the same way with your key to get in - it’s just a bit tedious. As well as having no lift so dragging your bag minimum 2 flights of stairs before getting to the first floor of rooms. Also no privacy curtains on beds.
- Rui (8/5): -
- Ioanna (8/5): - Everything was very good and as described, all standard amenities were available (kitchen, washing machine/dryer) and fresh towels were provided upon request. Communication with the staff was also great - had to use the emergency contact for late check-in and they answered immediately. The only drawback for me was that the toilet, shower and sink were in one single shared bathroom per floor (one for males one for females) - had to queue or go back to the room 3-4 times. The bathrooms were clean though. Depending on the day (weekday/weekend) more or less noise from the bar downstairs.
- Michael (10/5): -
- Stjepan (4/5): -
- Lillian (8/5): -
- Erin (1/5): - The staff were nice. It was a place to sleep for the night that was it. I did not appreciate that the reception was in another building down the street.Too many stairs. I did not appreciate having one of us in a separate room with strangers that was not on. So we just stayed in the one room together. I definitely will not be staying there EVER AGAIN! 1 Star.

- Maroney (6/5): - Having to walk up and down all the stairs with luggage 🧳,
- Jessica (8/5): -
- Maria (7/5): Location superb but... - The location is the only thing i really like here. It was incredibly noisy. Its disrupting sleep and rest. Bed and pillow were uncomfortable. The hot water fluctuates. You cant enjoy ur shower because it gets cold suddenly and its still cold weather.

- Brian (10/5): -
- Thawangorn (8/5): - Comfy bed and great pillow
- Fletcher (1/5): Did not use the room. Lost our payment. - Could not go up the stairs did not use the room was not told of stairs. Had to find and pay for another motel.
- Kyran (5/5): it was ok - I liked it was close to the tram and the train station and a lot of food choices near by Wasn't enough blankets or extrea blankets and no fans or aicon to keep warm
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanie (7/5): Good - I would have given it a 9. This place is the cleanest I've ever seen in a hostel. The bathrooms are modern and big, a towel is provided. Kitchen was super clean and open 24hrs, which is convenient when having to leave at 4a.m. The loud music from a pub in the building. I had to catch an early flight and I haven't been able to sleep until the music stopped, even with earplugs. Also the check in is in another building further up the road, which means having to carry out luggage on a longer distance.
- Jackson (10/5): Exceptional - CBD how close U r to everything 💘😜 Nothing 😐
- Will (10/5): Exceptional -
- Will (10/5): Situated in a fantastic spot so close to China town, Darking harbour and Central Station. The hostel wasn’t very bigwhic - I liked how it wasn’t so big and full of people like how many other hostels are. This one was smaller and got quite comfortable the longer in stayed there and met up with new friends often. The receptionists Yuna and Joey were so nice and already gave me a positive experience. N/A I was very happy with my stay love to return one day.
- Liu (1/5): Too noisy with loud pub music playing till 3AM on Friday night. - Too noisy with loud pub music playing till 3AM on Friday night. Too noisy with loud pub music playing till 3AM on Friday night.
