10/10 Exceptional

A comfortable bed, clean bathroom, good hot water! A pleasure to be among young travelers in this hostel-type ‘Village’.
Jonathan, 4-night trip

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.

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.

Ross, 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... = )

Room was clean and tidy, check in was seamless.

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice, clean, quiet hostel. Staff really easy and friendly. Bit removed from the action but there’s a bus stop probably 20 meters from the hostel so not a big deal. Great place
George, 5-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

Was a nice stay, convenient and friendly. In two weeks time I’ll come back

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

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

2/10 Poor

Terrible
Despite being advertised as “pay at stay” my card was charged the morning of my stay. I then used the online check in that was requested “to save time at check in”. Upon arrival I was informed my payment had “failed” despite clear records showing the money had left my account, I was then charged a 2nd time before I was allowed to use the room I had already paid for. Reception staff were very unwilling to help me with this issue and would not allow me to check in without this 2nd payment. They even argued with me that I had not paid. The app I was requested to download also continually said I was not checked in. I tried to call reception multiple times throughout my stay and not once did anyone answer the phone. The desk is meant to be manned 24/7 and this is not the case for at least an hour there was no one available to not only me but many others trying to check in. I am also still waiting for Expedia to be able to contact the hotel in order for the refund to be paid to me and they are having trouble getting calls or emails answered to rectify this situation. I will never be booking this hotel ever again and will never recommend it due to this shonky practise of billing.

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

10/10 Exceptional

Very good management

2/10 Poor

Took away my access to my room a day early not allowing me to stay the last night of my trip, had to stay elsewhere. Still charged me for the night when I raised the issue and went to get my belongings.
Charles, 19-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff is exceptionally friendly. Situated in a cute/quiet area of Sydney. A few cafes within walking distance but for a Coles/woolies it's a bit far. Beds were comfy and everything was clean. No partying/heavy drinking was going on which is nice.

Pauline, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I had booked an overnight stay for "Bed in Twin Female Ensuite Dorm" as appeared on my trip receipt but instead, I was given a room with two bunk beds that could fit four. And the rest of them are males (with me being the only female) when I asked specifically for a female-only room. Worst, one chap was hitting for me!
Yun Seh, 1-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

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

4/10 Fair

Somehow my booking got mixed up with an ensuite double room to a backpackers double room, the staff were pathetic, particularly when you consider the room I booked was more than my last day for an ensuite double room, no offered to change it no offer to upgrade me yet I'm a regular customer I find the service pathetic
