Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Centrally located to Chinatown and lots of attractions in downtown Sydney. We loved the location. Bed linens where very clean, carpet and hallways could’ve used a little touchup. Great experience staying here.

Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff and great location across the street from Central Station. Cold room in the winter. Water pressure in the shower was very low. Breakfast didn't have much to choose from.

yok chan, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a fantastic 5 star backpackers to stay. Very convenient location next to Central Station, transport is everywhere you want it, walking distance to local shops and restaurants. Easy to check in and a nice waiting area to wait and relax if you are arrive to early. Rooftop pool and BBQ area was great, I stayed in a Queen Room and the bed was heaven, good size TV also. Noise didn't affect me, and I can't really fault the place at all. Would definitely stay here again

YHA has a good rate affordable for back packers like me, clean and tidy the only problem was the doors of your neighbour's room, plus bathroom doors, they guest keep slamming the doors that wake me up in different times.

Henk, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous location just next door to Sydney's city centre train station and transportation hub. Very convenient as a base for arriving late or leaving early. We had an ensuite room but shared bathroom and dormitory style also available. Breakfast was a little overpriced.
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exactly what it needs to be
Reilly, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Nice just for backpackers

This is a nice place for backpackers with good kitchen facility. However it is not a normal hotel. The room condition was too poor. Too noisy all over nights, no table or shampoo. I paid $8 for leaving luggages for 5hrs. It is worth no more than $90 per night.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Better labels 4 fridge. Rubber bands and paper rip. Frustrating. And sometimes theres either no pens or paper..maybe put pens on strings so they dont go walkabout. Dont get me wrong im nit picking everything else is exceptional. Pls keep up the great work.
Cindy, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

That place needs air conditioning. Spent the night sleeping on top of the bed as it was too hot to cover up
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, close to cafes and transport. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, kitchens and dining room on level 1 were clean and spacious. Probably could do with more fridge space. Ladies Bathroom on level 3 used to slam shut which kept us awake at night but this was fixed after the problem was reported. Storage cupboards in the bunker rooms need to be repaired - 3 were broken in room 305. Excellent place to stay, highly recommended.
