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.

No windows/aircon in the top floor girls only rooms. 6 girls sharing one room with a really bad plug in fan. all sockets one end of the room rather than one for each individual bunk which was boiling hot. Overall areas were clean and kitchen is big. Good location if you want to be in the city.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff are very helpful and the rooms are clean and tidy . The shower facilities are good with hot water . This is my second stay and would recommend to stay in the female only dorms as I felt very safe travelling as a sole female traveler. The elevator are out which is my only negative but due to required maintenance that’s not the staff fault . They are very helpful in helping you with getting your luggage to your room . Would def stay again. great location and activities within the hostel are well rounded and accommodate all

Liked: Staff & service
Staff and checking was awesome. They even upgraded me to a good room. I would be happy to stay here next time too as it is very convenient to move around. Downside - Broken fixtures in bathrooms and loud doors. Elevator is being fixed which was not ideal for me to walk 3 stairs after running a gruel marathon ( 5 floors to kitchen) Rest else, great work team and loved my stay here.

Very nice spot and super nice staffs, the downfall is clubbing downstairs until dawn, which makes you feel like you are sleeping on the dance floor 😂 we had a room with crossing outside, and you can hear that beeping all night long. Good lock system, good facility, everything was clean. The bed was a bit cheap but for that price I don’t expect much more. Overall pretty nice, would suit young people.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were super nice and helpful. The other guests all seemed pleasant enough, just doing their own thing in the lounge area. The room (double with ensuite) was clean, tidy and the furnishings and bedding were all in good condition, but the ensuite's water pressure was a bit low if I am to be picky. The only real let down is the noise from the Scary Canary. Rooms in the 220-30 range are best avoided as they sit directly above the bar/nightclub and sleep prior to 3am on a weekend is impossible, even with the supplied earplugs.

No ventilation, smells too bad, You can't breathe
We paid a low price but the conditions of the room are not habitable, room 123 has no ventilation, the window is sealed, and it is located at the end of the hostel, lack of oxygen and the air conditioning does not work, they should do a deep cleaning The carpet smells like urine throughout the room, we assume it is because there is no ventilation.

I would not trust the water in this place. The place is quite old and two of the ensuites I rented the shower was cold af.. the rusty water which had a terrible color lasted for a week. The place smells bad. There are plenty of other options for better hostels than this. I will never return to this place and put it in my list of worse of the worse. True story.
