I didnt expect too much from this place. I read reviews, they were different. I chose this place because of price&location. I dint find online check-in with tablet the best option, but can understand it. My room was ok, as it should be in a cheap hostel. Bed linen was clean, but no towel. There was a long queue for the shower, that's not cool. I skipped dinner, but breakfast was fine, as a usual one. Location was really good, near public transport. In general my stay was okay.

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.

Hostel has a quaint, rustic charm. I could see they’re taking active steps to address areas that need attention, such as improving ventilation. They have some problems, like lack of bathrooms, but they are offset by the price.

Showers were filthy. (That is the only day during my vacation that I could not shower.) Breakfast area did not even have clean glasses. This place could only be a last resort for the travelers “who cannot find anywhere else”. Not worth US$287 (AU$430) for the New Year’s Eve. (They did not even do the bare minimum.) Location is fine but that’s it. I regret booking this place. Period.
