Central train station across is nice. Staff are awesome. Clean facilites. Quiet place other than people coming in and out of the room makes for a lot of click and door slams. No outside noise and no partying. Ear plugs help with all the coming and going. I realize it is a dorm. Bathroom is clean.

The door slamming, all day all night, is unbearable. The hotel should do something about it. Housekeepers shows they're vacuuming but the is a pile of dust behind the bedroom door. In slite of that, the staff is very professional and courteous. Bus, tram and trains are just steps away.

The hostel was geared toward young travelers. It is convenient to a train station (and airport train) and has lots of shopping and dining around. The two guest bunk room I rented was tiny but adequate ,communal showers and toilets old but clean. Loved the over sized window in the tiny room. 24 hour staff was helpful.

It was in a very convenient spot within the Sydney CBD. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Vibes within the place were immaculate. The shared toilets were mostly clean. The laundry was also very easy and convenient to access. Great stay overall. Would consider booking again if I ever came back to Sydney.
