I liked it was close to where I was attending an event,liked the free dinner although quite spicy hot the night I had dinner so not sure if that’s usual or I just got unlucky as not a huge fan of spicy food,maybe when you register for dinner they could let you know what it is going to be ,dislikes that I didn’t get email directly from them it kept coming through Expedia which made check in a drawn out process and a hassle late at night and on top of that the bed allocated was being used when I arrived in my room although they sorted it pretty quickly,the old saying is you get what you pay for

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Extremely dirty, fridges are dirty, one stove and one microwave for the whole hostel, about 5 cups and 5 glasses, impossible to have a coffee or a drink during the meals. Not enough tolilets, no soap, showers are broken. 3 days in a row the dinner was the same schnitzel + rice, not expecting much for a cheap hotel with the dinner included (last only 1 hour, 6.30 to 7.45), but they can vary it a bit. Wi-Fi doesn't work well in the dining room. As there's no staff on site is imposible to get help when you needed. Beds are super uncomfortable.

Nasty carpets and bathroom, kitchen was always dirty and with a wet floor, stuff was never at the reception if you needed help or just for check in. Breakfast was finished before the writen down time and limited (2 toasts p.p. And 1 bowl of cereal p.p.). Stuff came into the room so many times it got annoying (to check the beds or change toilet paper for 3 times in 10 minutes). Yes, it is cheap but i there are better places for almost the same price

Slightly catfished, but would stay here again.

So the hostel is a little bit catfishy. It's an old pub that has been converted into a women's only hostel for long term guests, it's social in a relaxed way, there's no staff, which is a little odd, and can cause issues if you arrive late at night. They don't have air-conditioning, it's fan only. They have a kitchen but it's pretty basic, and they don't have a water filter. They have a small outdoor area, and a breakfast room. They say you get free breakfast, but I never saw it. They had extremely comfortable beds with blackout curtains, and ensuite bathrooms. The only thing missing from the dorm rooms was large lockers for the possessions of the long term travellers who stay here, personal lights and charging ports for each pod bed. I would stay here again though.

Recommended, nice, clean 24hr kitchen, pod beds.

I would recommend this hostel for any travellers who were looking for a quiet place to stay or sleep for a night or two, it's not particularly social though if that's something that you are looking for, it was more social when it was female only. The pod bed design means that you can sleep really well, and you don't feel like there's 14 other people in your dorm. I wish they had a dairy free milk alternative like oat milk for breakfast as I am team lactose intolerant. The included breakfast is basic but pretty typical of Australian hostels, just tea, coffee, cereal and toast, but it does the job. I wonder why you can't use the microwave during breakfast though, my coffee got cold and I had to wait half an hour to reheat it. Lol. The fact that the rooms have an ensuite is really convenient, and the aircon works well to cool down the rooms. The only small issues I have with the property is that they don't seem to have enough pans, or fridges for people to store food that needs to be chilled, and the internet is not very reliable, I also wish they would put hooks on the bathroom doors so that there was somewhere to hang your towels. But all round good, clean place to stay, and pretty much all the staff are helpful. The check in process is a bit time consuming as the reception is off site, so probably wouldn't recommend if you are arriving in the middle of the night, but I would definitely stay here again. I think it's good value for Sydney CBD.
