I stayed there for my 15 hours of transit. I didn’t expect that much but the stay was far better than I expected. The rooms and facility were clean and neat, staff are welcoming and creating warm ambiance. I definitely visit the city and the place again in the future.

Very affordable, clean, and safe! I'm on the plus size so I was worried about the sturdiness of the bunk beds, but that wasn't a problem at all! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again!

Hands down the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The bed (bunk in shared dormitory) was quite big, comfortable, had an individual light, charging ports and a curtain for privacy. The rooms, the washroom and the kitchen were cleaned every day and the noise was kept to a minimum always. Very happy with my stay and will be back if in Sydney again. It was also well situated. Easy to get to from the airport via train, to the beaches via bus and a walkable distance to the Opera House.

Perfect stay in this hostel! Clean rooms and bathrooms. Beds are very comfy and the largest I had in Australia. This hostel is one of the best I stayed in Australia and I highly recommend!

In this backpacker hotel, I stayed for 5 days. It is very close to the city, and just opposite Coles shopping to buy some food for my dinner and breakfast at the backpacker hotel. Put it in the fridge with name label stickers. All very safe and very friendly staff. A very nice manager who looks after tourists stay. I give it a 5-star rating. In bed in your room with the wall light on and turn off the ceiling light in each room at 9.30pm. I enjoyed it and will come back again in future from Brisbane QLD Happy New Year to tourists. Take care on the trip.

Very clean and quiet. The pods were great and actually very spacious, they also blocked light well. Check in and out we're quick and easy and I really appreciated being able to store my luggage before check in time.

PROS: privacy, good size bunks, rooms not crowded, great location, price fair, amenities, close to public transport CONS: room door is the loudest I’ve ever encountered, bathroom very dirty and smells due to no ventilation, check in process extremely slow

The pods are functional but no sound insulation whatsoever.

The bed and room temperature was comfortable however the door opening and closing the entire night kept me up and I got very little sleep. Owners should invest in soft close door and stop the locks from making such a loud sound every time people leave and enter the rooms.
