I chose it for its price and location. Couldn’t have been better for that. Maintenance and cleaning issues that are easy to fix such as handle off shower and remote not working, shower needs a scrub not just a wipe. Do that and couldn’t fault it. My room was located next to traffic lights so Billy Eileish

Location is good. Rooms weren’t ready at check in. We had to wait an extra hour before housekeeping was finished. The first room we stayed in had black mould and water damage. It smelled like stale alcohol and mould. We soon found out why there was water damage. The air con was leaking water all over the floor and splashing onto the bed. The second night we stayed, we were moved to a different room, but this room had no working air conditioning, which was honestly the worst considering Sydney’s humidity during our stay. We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom facilities and the standard was what you’d expect for a hostel. They were generally fairly clean. The hostel is a maze, combining multiple buildings and it was not a fun experience to lug a suitcase across multiple sets of stairs despite it being the first floor. There is a central lift in the building though. The hostel is attached to a pub/club called the scary canary and depending on where you are in the building, you’ll likely hear the loud music in your room, especially if the staircase doors that lead downstairs to the scary canary are open. You have to pass through the staircase in order to get to some of the rooms. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, so they were very accommodating with the issue with the first room we stayed in. When we were waiting to check into our rooms, they came to get us from the common area so we didn’t have to wait in the foyer where there was no seating.

Nice and close to town, but the duvet has some blood in it. It's very disgusting. Will post some photos of it. They would have changed the duvet cover and seen the blood but didn't do anything about it. It's very disgusting.

I was unfortunate enough to have a room on the druitt street side, the noise was horrible throughout the night from cars, trucks, people walking past, people talking on the sidewalk or at the bar. Feels like we were on the street/sidewalk below as the noise can be heard loudly from our room, just horrible and was not able to sleep at all. Maybe the hotel can do something to insulate the room from the noise coming from the outside. Customer service was excellent and room was clean enough. Thank you.

I booked a private room at this hostel the second weekend in November. The nightly rate was very high for a hostel, but most rooms in Sydney are expensive at that time of year. First of all, the elevator was not working, and I was given a room on the third floor. The hostel clerk offered to ask someone to help me with the luggage but I declined. The private room was clean, as was the bathroom. But the bathroom was very small, and the shower did not drain properly. I had to be careful not to flood the bathroom floor whenever I took a shower. If you are looking for a basic private room, that is what it was, but at $250 per night, It definitely was not worth the rate.

Avoid on the Weekends!

I had a room in the girls sanctuary, I have previously stayed as the glam table just outside of the rooms was very convenient (free to use hair dryers/straighteners!) The room however was so hot, we had 2 floor fans going but they couldn’t really reach the upper bunk beds. Not the staffs fault but the saturday night i stayed, some girls brought boys into the girls only sanctuary. Very drunk and very loud at 12:30am, other times i’ve stayed the club next door can still be heard into the early hours of the night. (more less avoid staying here if a weekend) Also the elevator wasn’t working! (oct 2024) such a pain to go up 4 flights of stairs to a hot room! Like it is a cheap stay and quite central to transport, it just seems quite rundown
