I just wanted to give Richard at reception a shout out for his amazing hospitality and help. I was in need of medical care during my stay and he was so calm, professional and kind and I will never be able to thank him enough. The kitchen/ common area is the entire first floor which is great, lots of places to sit, and there cook. There is a small pool (good for a lil paddle, not a swimming pool) and a nice open area on the roof which I enjoyed hanging out in on days I didn't feel like doing much. I was in a female only 6 bed dorm and felt it was very spacious and private. The beds weren't very squeaky. If you are sensitive to noise then I would recommend good ear plugs as you are right in the center of town and should expect some horns, train noises and sirens. Lower floors might be able to hear music from neighboring bars, but on the 5th floor I didn't hear anything. The location was great. Very close to Paddy's market (3 mins) and China town (Friday night markets). 20 min walk to Darling harbour. And the tram is directly outside that will take you to circular quay (Harbour bridge and Opera House) My only point is that the bathrooms could get a bit dirty, and would recommend sandals for the shower (duh), but also maybe a second towel to make surfaces dry for your things xx Overall had a very pleasant stay and will be back !

A beautiful building in a central location very close to the central railway station which was perfect for me as I had an early morning flight the following day. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. The toilets and showers were spotless. The luggage storage was fantastic- there was a small charge but they were extremely secure and devices could be charged in them. The beds were comfortable with privacy screens. I’d definitely stay again. As an older single solo I felt comfortable and safe.

Honestly the property is kept clean and it’s in a great location, staff a friendly and guests are also nice to talk to

The staff were amazing. I had trouble the first night being on a top bunk as I have a bung knee and a staff member went to a lot of trouble and with luck got me into to a room with a lower bunk available. Thank you. Breakfast included was really good value and a nice selection. Rooms have really good sized lockers and power point and USB charging at each bunk. Great upgrades since last time. So glad you are still here.
