Room had a double bunk and two metal trunks under the bed. Floor looked like a crime scene photo. Unidentified stains etc Bathrooms were clean, staff were at their assigned places and friendly enough.

10/10 Exceptional

I like staying at this multinational hostel surrounded by happy young people. Thanks to Diana I was able to check in without a passport. Twenty four hour reception!
Jonathan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great staff, easy to check in and out. It’s an older building so wear and tear to be expected. Ensuite room came with toaster, electric jug and mini fridge which was perfect.
Letisha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and tidy, check in was seamless.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were wonderful, the room was excellent, the location is awesome; the parking was a breeze - especially for Sydney; and all for an excellent price. We wanted to extend, but unfortunately for us, they were fully booked.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Didn’t have one good night sleep, doors banging all day/night long, loud people in hallway.

The Park close by
Sanja, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

There’s no soundproofing at all you hear all of the noise. I was in a private room but every time the front door would open I could hear it which meant that my sleep was disrupted quite a lot. The dining services and common areas aren’t that nice either to be honest. I’ve stayed in quite a few hostels globally and this is probably The least exciting one I’ve been in.
Laura, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was a nice stay, convenient and friendly. In two weeks time I’ll come back
Clive Christopher, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

I stayed in a private room just for a night as I had an event. Great location. Very easy to get to and from Sydney Central. It's within walking distance to a number of cafes/restaurants. .
Alexandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great experience to stay at the hostel. Nice area and very cool people and staff. The communication with Atakan was very easy going and fun. Would recommend it to others :)
Matthias, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

The "Online check-in to avoid wait times" is ineffective, as you still need to visit reception for manual activation of the electronic keys. Reception was unattended from 12:30 to 13:15, leading to nearly an hour of waiting, despite having already completed the check-in online. Additionally, the bed had crawling insects (not bedbugs, but similar), and the fridge still had a frozen cockroach inside, likely from a previous spill.
Martin, 3-night trip

Ross, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is not bad. But there is no lift in the property so you have to climb up many flights of stairs. Not suitable if you have a lot of luggage.
Jie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unique, but typical for the area - period mansions and grounds converted to range of accommodation, from shared/hostel rooms to private ensuite rooms. Full shared kitchen facilities available, but it's Glebe Point Road, so you'll run out of days before you run out of options. One cautionary note, if outside of an evening, the possums are so active, you're likely to be showered with tree debris... = )
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

good staff with clean shared space happy to be here alway there to help or have a talk with you, Atakan at the office!! :)

6/10 Good

Great secure property. Great staff, check in was excellent. However, they need to provide the very basics - no bath soap, no clothes hangers in the wardrobe, no jug (but they were good to provide one immediately upon request), no heater (in winter!) the air con did not work. Otherwise, a great place. I would return in Summer time
Nime, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

I paid for a single room, staff was good and room is clean overall. However, someone banged the front door all night or the door is generally shut with loud noise, it wasn’t a good experience.
Man Fung, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Charged twice… prior to check in despite it being pay at stay. To be told it failed however money was removed from my account. Had to pay again. Still waiting on refund. No one answered phones all day and staff not available when needed, even though have been told it is a 24/7 manned desk. o line check in also did not work, had to download an app which also did not work.
