Guest Reviews
- DABI (10/5): -
- Takeshi (10/5): 素朴でお得で便利で、イメージ通りでした。 - 朝食でパンや飲み物を自由に選ぶことができて、とても楽しかったです。 ドミトリーの各ベッドにカーテンがあれば良かったと思います。
- Ernani (1/5): Sewer Leakage in the Kitchen - Utterly gross and unsanitary. There is a sewer leakage in the area which smells really bad - and that area happens to be the kitchen. Bathroom appears to be mouldy. If you want to stay in a clean, sanitary place - this isn’t the right one.
- Tan (9/5): Thoải mái - Giường ngủ, toilet, phòng tắm sạch sẽ, thang máy, tiếp tân nhiệt tình Bữa sáng free
- STELLA (8/5): Tout c’est bien passé ma maman était hospitalisé votre établissement proche de l’hôpital m’a aidé -
- ANIL (10/5): It was good - It was good Nothing
- Travelboy5 (9/5): -
- Steven (10/5): - I love how close to every thing in the cbd plus breakfast good too 😁😁 plus i had the bottom bunk tooalways helps 😁😁 Going up the stairs my choice though 😁😄
- eichin (2/5): -
- Sandy (1/5): We didn’t stay, we cancelled our booking on the spot we saw the room, everything yelling of dirt. - Nothing to like on this property its smell as soon as you enter. Room is disgustedly felty, mattresses looked gross. Everything

- Javiera Sofia (6/5): - The free breakfast and The persons who work there😊
- Pia (4/5): Bien para estancias cortas - La ubicación Las camas eran incomodas y era un solo baño por piso, lo que hacía muy difícil encontrarlo vacío
- Tsuimi (6/5): 因為晚班機,需要充足睡眠,又怕飯店關門進不去。員工盡職客氣,下次會再住 - 交通非常方便,走幾步路就是地鐵站。沒有電梯,提著大行李比較不方便⋯⋯
可以自行進出,人性化,重點是手機不需要買轉接器,手機充電非常方便,很推薦,因為很多飯店都不提供 沒電梯
- Penisoni (10/5): 2 weeks - Fantastic 💯

- Julien (8/5): - Parfait. Accueil très chaleureux, chambre propre, confortable et très calme. J''ai rejoint cet établissement après avoir fui un hôtel archi bruyant dans lequel il était impossible de dormir 200 mètres plus loin, et j'ai trouvé ce que je cherchais : le calme et de vraies nuits de sommeil (dortoir mixte 4 personnes). Le petit-déjeuner est compris, il est simple mais suffisant me concernant (possibilité de cuisiner en parallèle), et les résidents croisés étaient tous respectueux. Emplacement idéal à côté de la gare centrale (facile d'accès pour l'aéroport et les transports pour visiter Sydney et ses environs). Rien à dire. Si chacun y met du sien (faire attention au bruit, ne pas claquer les portes, garder les espaces communs propres), c'est agréable pour tout le monde.

- Albbacg (8/5): -
- KENICHI (10/5): 東海岸ドミあちこち泊まった中でコスパ1位! - 玄関を出たらいきなりトラムのヘイマーケット駅という超便利な立地。やたら収容人数が多いが十分な たくさんのシンク、電気コンロを備えた食堂スペースとソファーラウンジがある。よくある調味料の残置物などはほとんどないので持参した方が良い。
食器は洗ってカゴに置いておけば拭かなくても定期的にスタッフが戻してくれる。
その他スタッフ人数が十分で清掃、整頓の衛生面 などは十分満足。チェックアウト前後の荷物置き場もあり便利。 トイレ小便器や手洗い排水が一部壊れていた。
ドミトリーのベッドはカーテンはなくむき出し。
収容人数に対してエレベーターは1台だけでかなり待つ。
- Solana (7/5): - Pedi hab de 4 femenina, bien, limpian todos los dias, no hay enchufe en la cama, si en el locker de cada una. Los baños bien, no cocine. Solo calente agua pero las heladeras llenas. Tiene una sala con sillones. A la habitacion no le llegaba casi wifi. Ubicacion a dos cuadras de la central station y en plena George st. Siendo Argentina, no es un hostel para llegar conocer gente y hacer amigos. Pero si para estar de paso. El personal suuuuper amable y dispuestos a resolver lo que sea. El wifi se podria mejorar y que cada cama tenga enchufe ahi al lafo.

- Jiaxin (2/5): Not recommended - Actually,this accommodation supplement is fine,cleanness is ok I think I was bullied by one of my roommates,she keep saying I interrupt her,but I already low down my voice. You even could ask other roomates to check,but they don’t .And after she talking to the employee,I was asked to change my room in five minutes,never ask my opinion,I really doubt I met racist ,cause she is nice to everyone except me.
- Lorena (7/5): - Location and breakfast Bunks are old and they move, lack of power sockets around the bed and privacy curtain
- Rebecca (7/5): Great location, close to transport and restaurants, friendly staff. - I actually stayed here on 2 separate occasions within a weekly period. It was well located to transport, restaurants & I felt safe. Bed was comfortable. Bathrooms were a bit mouldy, and there wasn't anywhere to put down your things for a shower & things got wet when changing. Couple of hooks but a shelf or stool would be helpful.
- Nikki (10/5): -
- Marie (10/5): - Très bien placé,on peut tout faire à pieds personnel tres gentils. Prêtes à rendre service, merci beaucoup je vous le recommande transport à deux pas c est parfait
- Bonnie (9/5): Very good - Breaking was great It would have been nice to have a cooked brekkie

- Hao-Jhu (4/5): - 位置在車站旁邊,早上有免費吐司 廚房在地下室,非常不通風,房間裡面只有床、一個很簡易且不太乾淨的櫃子及一個垃圾桶,六樓的廁所好多設備是壞掉的,我們房間的鎖還沒電
- Roh Johnson (8/5): -
- Browne (10/5): Happy customer - It was very convenient and friendly. Loved the staff they were very helpful
- Scott (1/5): - Centeal location Breakfast is disgusting. Mouldy bread.
- Kennedy (10/5): -
- אוריה (7/5): Very nice - The location is pretty amazing The kitchen and table area in the basement was not so clean and it was a bit dark I would say
- Ehsanul (5/5): - Kitchen facilities AC service/ system was out of order room! We Complained, but no action was taken. We had to pass nights into this painful situation!
Only 1 high comode for 30+ male gests at some floors creats a painful que in the morning!
- Patricia (9/5): Perfecto para fin de semana con amigos - La ubicacion super buena cerca de la estacion central, el lugar cumple con el precio, los viernes dan pizza gratis lo cual me parecio fabuloso. lo unico que me llamo la atencion es un poco de olor supongo de las alfombras por que el lugar tiene sus años.
- Jessica (1/5): Got double charged, 10 calls plus on going and couldn’t resolve - I got charged double for one booking! Bookings.com website had a glitch and made two bookings. Even the customer service admit that the system was so glitchy these days there’s many cases of complaints. Technically was the website fault from bookings.com but there’s no resolve in between them after numerous calls i made on both sides one day before the check in date. Bookings.com said i had to bury the cost for that! Unfair! Who has the money these days to pay for double the amount for one stay! I got charged double for one booking!

- Mélanie (3/5): -
- Annette Evelyn (9/5): - I always enjoy staying here in a private room with a shared bathroom.
Always clean, friendly and helpful staff. Thanks for another great stay.
- Mark (8/5): Best budget saver but slightly off with facility - One of the cheapest option in city centre, and near central, especially for those taking long distance coach, No individual light and charging spot
- Ehsanul (6/5): - Ac was not working, in 8 bed room, Washroom facilities very poor
- Ehsanul (6/5): - Kitchen facilities Ac was not working, in a 8 beds room with full loade, for 4 nights. We omplained to the reception but no action has taken!
There was only one latrine/ comode for male washroom section, at one floor (6th), so we had to face a long que in every busy morning with pain!

- Tania (7/5): -
- Luis Alberto (7/5): Great location, comfortable beds, value for you're money! - Location was amazing!! Lots of restaurants, and shops, walkable everywhere! Right next to central station and a light rail stop right outside the hostel. The beds were comfortable and A/C worked well. The staff were friendly and nice. You can hear people coming in and out of their rooms because the doors slam shut too loudly. The lift can sometimes take forever. The bathrooms are a little rundown but water pressure and hot water was great! The breakfast was not exciting, just cereal and bread and I think coffee but its free so I appreciated it.
- Igor Martins (7/5): Would def stay there again/ - Location is amazing, right in the center of Haymarket, I shared the room with other 6 [people but everyone was always respectful and easygoing, and they would clean the rooms every day.
- Normurodov (8/5): -
- Camila (8/5): - Era un espacio cómodo, mi habitación era para 6 y se sentía grande. Tenia un sillón frente a los ventanales que daba una sensación acogedora.
La cocina estaba abierta durante varias horas, lo que permitía que no se notara gran flujo de gente. Las ventanas no se podían abrir, creo que es importante dejar al menos una.
- Linton (8/5): -
- Alshewahy (10/5): Really nice place. I recommended to any one . I travel the world 2 times. I really loved it . Very clean. And very quiet - Very nice. Very organized.
So easy to check in. Easy to leave.
Beautiful quiet area.
Nice kitchen. Everything really so nice.
I be back again for sure I like everything about the property.
- Sienna (8/5): It was accessible, fun and good for your every day needs, shower, bathroom, food and bed. I will co - Location was perfect for everything I needed to get too. The breakfast was very easy and decent. Bedroom was just what I needed, somewhere to sleep. I just thought it was strange paying 10$ for a towel, which is usually a given item at every other hotel I’ve been too. Beds were hard and only one pillow.
- Osman (9/5): -
- Joseph (1/5): I want my money returned,& a Confirmation of its return - Would not give me a $ Refund Too crowded , too noisy,

- Johanna (9/5): -
- Juliana (8/5): - I like the location and the lift. One of the toilets in the sixth floor were broken
- Ophelie (6/5): Overall good - Great location, clean.
The dorm I was in was very good, big enough, lockers were big and with power socket inside which was so useful. The hostel asks guests to keep things off the floor and this makes a big difference. The dorm was tidy and not cluttered. Showers were spacious as well. The kitchen is sometimes very full and is in the basement (no natural light during breakfast). The included breakfast is very basic; bread, spreadable, cereals, room temperature milk and fruit juices. Not the best hostel to socialise.
