• Elisa (8/5): - The staff was super easy going. Nice kitchen, well equipped. The rooms where too small, also common spaces.
• Alexander (8/5): -
• Chaparro Tancredi (8/5): Volvería - La ubicación , y que tiene mucha onda backpacker Hay backpacker viviendo ahí y las habitaciones están un poco desordenada y con olor . Pero normal de un hostel
• Fanky (7/5): - Friendly staffs Not enough toilets, I stayed on level 3 and there was one toilet sharing with at least 4 dormitories (I was staying in a 11-bed dorm). You probably need to go to another floor, or line up during the busy time like morning...
• Samuel (10/5): So nice and so lucky to have been there - Everything Nothing
• Leonardo (1/5): - La manager es la peor... Te trata fatal... Watch out people!!!. This hostel is so racist and sexist... The staff will treat you like sht... depending where are you coming from ..if i could give them 0 stars I'll do it ... Everything is dirty and there are not enough toilets or showers, the beds got buds 🥶😭😭😭
• Venkatesh (5/5): -
• Akkarryn (7/5): - Les règles étaient claires et affichées. C'etait bien organisé Le personnel était accueillant et disponible pour aider et m'a semblé sérieux Les équipements sont complets même si un peu désuets Les douches et toilettes étaient en mauvais état et parfois pas assez nettoyées Les lits grinçaient beaucoup La chambre où j'étais n'avait pas de réel aération
• Ryan (7/5): Great for exploring the Sydney must hits. - Great walkable area. Comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms. Nice courtyard. Felt expensive for dorm beds (but could just be Australia). Late check-in is difficult as there is only a local number with no WhatsApp. A lot of people for the number of bathrooms and courtyard space
• LI-CHUAN (9/5): - 服務人員真的很棒，我晚上10點多才臨時入住，凌晨四點要退房，他們也親切的幫我解決我的退押金問題
• Mathilde (9/5): -
• Lena (8/5): -
• Varisha (10/5): Better than expected - Beds were comfortable. Showers were exceptionally clean. Clean toilet. Secure locker. Room was too small for 6 people but that’s okay given the price.
• Karleen (7/5): Not glamourous, but cheap. - Good location near King's Cross Station. Staff were friendly and made checking in and out nice and easy. Could also store my bags after checking out. Kitchen was very well equipped and the outside courtyard area was very pleasant. The bunk beds were pretty squeaky and pillows too thin for the firm mattresses. It was very hot so the fans were welcome. However the curtain didn't really cover the window properly so lots of light was coming in. There weren't enough bathrooms - three showers and toilets for a floor with 6 dorms - and the showers were level with the floor so there was always water everwhere. It was cheap for what it was at least.
• Micaela (9/5): -
• Lena (8/5): - it was in a very good location there‘s only one toilet per floor but it‘s quite okay if u just don‘t go around 6-8pm
• Alma (8/5): Très bien - Le doctor pour filles est vraiment spacieux, avec une vue sympa sur le CBD et chacun a un espace personnel dédié. Le patio est très cosy ainsi que la salle TV. Emplacement près de toute commodités. Staff sympa. Propreté à revoir mais surtout à cause des clients qui ne nettoient pas. Pas assez de frigos, toilettes et cuisine trop petite pour tout le monde que cette auberge accueille.
• Ghanshyam (5/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): Excelente lugar - Las camas son súper cómodas y la cocina esta bastante equipada. Hay una sala de estar con puf y tv. La ubicacion es excelente puedes ir caminando al circular quay. Yo estuve en la hab. 21 y es maravillosa tiene una ventana que se puede ver los edificios y es luminosa. También cada dia hacen actividades! Todo está genial.
• charlie (9/5): -
• Giuseppe (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay here! I keep extending! Daniel has helped a lot with anything I need. The hostel is very social and you constantly see the staff cleaning
• Giuseppe (10/5): - Really enjoy my stay here! The events are great and it’s so easy to meet people
• Tanja (7/5): Okishes Hostel in Sydney - Normales Hostel, netter Patio-Bereich, große Küche Zimmer sehr stickig und heiß - kaum Möglichkeiten gut zu lüften. Wenige Toiletten für die Anzahl der Gäste.
• Charlotte (6/5): Good for a short stay - Good location, price and nice backgarden. Very few bathrooms/toilets, which got almost flooded quickly as they are next to the showers. My dorm was on 2 levels (some beds including mine were downstairs and the rest upstairs), so I was in the way when anyone would get in the dorm, not so nice for a good sleep.
• Vincent (7/5): - The staff were polite and friendly, the bed was comfortable and the rooms had enough space to not feel cramped. The rooms were cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a week, and the bathrooms were as clean as possible, given the large amount of people constantly using them. Overall, I would book here again if needed. The room was a bit stuffy and had to have the fan on constantly or it would overheat.
• Niclas (9/5): -
• Alexander (8/5): -
• Alexander (8/5): -
• Tyler (3/5): I only stayed here due to it being the cheapest available option at the time. - The property was dirty, old, patrons were disrespectful (being loud at night, smoking weed outside the property by the entrance that smelled terribly, and turning lights on when people were trying to sleep), some hosts weren’t very friendly, cleaning staff wouldn’t clean when they were scheduled to clean your rooms, overpriced for what is provided, no a/c in the room just fans, shower temperature was inconsistent (going from warm to cold to hot to cold to semi warm), etc

• Camila Javiera (2/5): Never again - Location The hostel has a good location, but I wouldn’t stay here again. Each floor has only one bathroom, and on every floor there are several rooms with 4, 6, 8, or even 12 beds. I find it inhumane and disgusting that so many people have to share just one bathroom. On our last night, we asked to leave our luggage (4 suitcases and 2 bags) in the storage room just for the night, so we wouldn’t have to carry everything up four floors, since we were leaving the next day at check-out time (10 am). However, the reception staff, with no friendliness or hospitality at all, told us no because it wasn’t allowed. For such an expensive hostel, we found this unreasonable and very unpleasant. In the end, we had to carry everything up to the 4th floor, where the space is very limited. Unfriendly staff and an overpriced hostel considering the poor facilities.
• Londoño Giraldo (9/5): -
• Alexander (2/5): There’s a lot of hostels around this area. Pick literally anywhere else. - Location good… that’s about it Tiny badly equipped kitchen. Tiny boiling hot rooms. Awful beds. Awful communal bathrooms. Cramped, small, unpleasant.
• celmidolo (3/5): Wouldn't stay for more than one night - The rooms are clearly not as shown in the pictures
• Tomaselli (8/5): -
• Vera Barros (1/5): Precarious - Nothing The first night I arrived a pair of sneakers disappeared, I asked multiple times at reception and they did nothing to help me find them. Little will of the staff. In addition, the bathrooms lacked cleanliness, and the TV area and the kitchen were dirty
• Alexander (7/5): -
• Alencar (10/5): - I loved it, nice activities every day and very close to all the fun and restaurants.
• Daniel (10/5): Very nice place - El personal es súper simpático y siempre intenta ayudar a encontrar nuevas fechas para continuar extendiendo la estancia Además la ubicación del hostel es perfecta para visitar la ubicación y por si fuera poco hay actividades cada días para ayudar a socializar en caso de que viajes solo
• Alexander (8/5): -
• Kelly (6/5): -
• Risa (1/5): シェルター - ロケーションが良い ドミトリールームで超期滞在している感じの人が、深夜1時から4時まで大声で電話をして騒いでた。 スナックやご飯の食べかけがベッドの下に放置されていたり、次のゲスト用の場所まで使っていた。 マナーの悪い長期滞在者の対応をどうにかするべき。 フロントのスタッフ対応は良かったが、部屋がこんなに汚いマナーの悪いバッパーは初めて。 ホームレスのような老人もたくさんいました。
• Mattia (10/5): - Tutto bello Tegan
• Julie (6/5): Ok pour un séjour court - Emplacement ok, espace extérieur et free bbq sympa. L'une des options les moins chères de Sydney. Une seule toilette pour tout l'étage. Public très jeune (18-22 ans, en début de PVT) dont certains vraiment très bordéliques et pas franchement respectueux.
• Richard (3/5): Das Hostel war sehr dreckig, aus jeglichen Ecken im Zimmer kamen Kakerlaken raus. Die Bäder sahen so aus, als würden sie - -Sauberkeit der Küche -mangelnde Sauberkeit allgemein -haufenweise Kakerlaken -kaputte Waschmaschinen -laute Gäste und Personal
• Fagnot (7/5): Nickel rapport qualité prix, mais une semaine pas plus ! - Les gens, la terrasse La moquette, les salles de bain (difficile de mettre ses vêtements), la petitesse des chambres (et l'air humide), pas de climatisation dans la chambre dans laquelle on etait
• Neisser (8/5): -
• Mireia (9/5): -
• Sydney (8/5): A comfortable, chill stay with great staff who care. - The staff are very attentive. They care about how you’re doing and how you feel. Even the guests were respectful and would look out for each other. Just a really positive vibe. Guests respectful of the rules. Loved the courtyard!! The single beds upstairs were such a relief from a long winded journey. Great under bed storage! You can also keep your luggage downstairs on their storage shelves before check in. Round the clock cleaners. Even when the electricity went out they were quick to call the electrician. You really felt seen and cared for. A great overall stay :) Would definitely stay again! Bathrooms were quite tight, not the worst. And tons of stairs. Even in your bedroom, even more stairs. But the guests and staff are sweet, they help you with luggage, they tend to your needs.
