6/10 Good

Social, but bad beds.

The hostel is cosy and social. It’s not a party hostel, but people do socialise in the kitchen. The beds are the drawback here - they are rickety and every time someone moves in their bed, you can hear the springs. Also my bed moved every time the guy in the top bunk rolled around. I’m 193cm and couldn’t stretch out in the bed. Difficult to sleep. If you value your sleep, find another place.

Parking a bit tricky

Free street parking right across the street is one hour and monitored till 10pm; otherwise, there's a pay lot for four hours and also monitored till 10pm. It was a pain that Reception could only accept the $20 deposit in Australian currency, even though I offered USD 20, which is worth more than AUD 20. The 8-share female room had no lockers and not enough hooks to hang up our jackets.

4/10 Fair

The hostel has a great location just across the road from the beach, however it is overpriced for the service you receive. When booking, please be aware that you will have to carry your luggage up three flights of narrow stairs to get to the reception area to check in. The rooms are shabby, with holes in the walls in several places. Having ‘apartment’ style rooms is quite nice, however in my apartment there were guests sleeping on beds in the communal areas, which was not very private. At full capacity, there are 14 people sharing one bathroom in the apartment I was in. The bathroom was mopped daily, but the floor was constantly filthy. Cleaners came in regularly to change beds and bins, but it would have been good if they could have vacuumed the floors as there was sand everywhere from the beach. Bed was comfortable, but room was stifling hot with just one small floor fan and one window (which had to be propped open with an empty bottle of dry shampoo), this made it very difficult to sleep, especially with 6 people in the room. On my first morning there, staff came into the room unannounced every hour between 8am and 2pm to complete various checks, including checking for ‘extra’ guests. This was quite disruptive in itself. I was disturbed on more than one occasion whilst I was in the shower by housekeeping staff also. Privacy is lacking a lot in this hostel. I would not choose to stay here again.

Probably would have been a better stay if not in a room by myself with three blokes, from a female point of view perhaps some gender rooms

Staff was super friendly, upgraded my friends and I to a much preferred room and were super easy to talk to and ask questions of, great host! Location was prime next to Coogee; just a bummer that lockers had to be paid for

Must stay when in Coogee!

I literally booked 3x because I kept extending my stay. Only issue is Australia has more bugs than I’m used to so I saw some. But everything else about this hostel was amazing. Everything I needed and exceeded my expectations... only issue is now my hostel standards are too high 😂

Best hostel in Sydney!

By far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at... I couldn’t have been happier. Clean, spacious, friendly and helpful staff. They have a bar downstairs too where they host events and happy hours so it’s a good way to meet people.

Hyvä hostelli yksin matkaajalle

Hyvä sijainti ja ystävällinen palvelu sekä näppärät kulkuyhteydet. Ravintoloita vieressä. Hostellissa hyvät patjat, tyynyt ja peitot.

The location is great for being right in the middle of it all. Steps to the beach and restaurants. Staff was very helpful and the facilities were kept clean for how many people stay there.
