Pros: The staff were friendly and the beds were comfortable enough for my stay. However, the rooms were quite small, with very little space for luggage. There was a wardrobe in the room to store some of your belongings, but overall the space felt quite cramped. The bathrooms could also have been cleaner, although I did see the kitchen being cleaned during the day. Overall, it’s an option if you’re looking for a social hostel in Sydney, but personally, I would have preferred more space, cleaner bathrooms and a little more privacy without the constant invitations to party. Cons: One thing I did

Amazing location and great value
Pros: The location of this hostel is fantastic! Right across the road from central station, bus stops and the tram. It is also an easy walk to food and shops. Cons: Was a bit noisy on the Monday night with music but you can get ear plugs at the reception so not really an issue.
A comfy base for Sydney
Pros: The location was excellent. Nice gym and sauna. Lots of fridge space Cons: It was enormous, not the easier to meet people as lots of people living there or passing through for a day
