Reviews and Ratings
The hostel was perfect for my short stay, although the rooms were very cluttered with little space remaining for my stuff. The staff, especially Dutch Ryan, were always helpful and friendly. The location was awesome, close to the train station and perfect for walking around the city. The dining experience could use some improvement, especially after a night of partying. Overall, value for money was good, but I missed out on some of the free tours and meet-ups they offered.
The hostel offers lockers and sufficient space for everyone, but the rooms are smaller than a prison cell, lack a desk and wardrobe, and only have blinds that do not block light. The service is friendly and helpful, with various amenities like car hire and laundry available. The location is convenient with easy access to public transport, but the hostel feels small for the number of guests. The dining options are limited but included, and there are small dishes available at Roy's cafe. Overall, a decent stay given the value for money.
My stay at the hotel was really great! The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was super friendly. However, it could get quite noisy at times. The location is excellent, just a minute walk from the railway station, making it very convenient. The dining experience was ok but could have been better. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
The hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The room had a cool view but felt small and prison-like without a bedside lamp and storage space. It was clean and comfortable with a spacious bathroom, although noise from a busy intersection and loud groups disturbed the peace late at night. The hotel offered great service, especially from Lejla and Elma, making my stay pleasant. The location was fabulous, close to the central station, but quite a distance from the opera house. The dining experience was immense and convenient, allowing guests to enjoy European dishes without venturing out. However, some aspects were not perfect, such as the lack of some facilities found in other hostels.
The hostel offers a decent stay with clean and comfy rooms and exceptionally friendly staff. The convenient location near Central station is a major plus, though some noise issues and the lack of AC can be drawbacks at times.
The hotel's location is fantastic, just across from Sydney Central railway and a short stroll to China Town. The rooms are spacious and secure, although the large windows with thin blinds let in too much light in the mornings. The service is top-notch with friendly staff and great amenities. However, the dining options could be improved for a better experience.
The hotel is perfectly located next to Central station and close to many shops and supermarkets, making it very convenient for guests. The rooms are spacious and clean, but some cabinets would be helpful to avoid clothes piling on the floor. The service was fantastic, especially from Jill who was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The dining options are a bit limited, but there's a cafe nearby. Overall, a great value for the money spent.
