Traveller reviews

“Superb”
29 May 2025
Loved this hostel, it had such a friendly vibe to it, all the staff where great and they do free events every night as well as dinners which surprised me with how good they were😋 It's great to have meals made for you that don't have to cook yourself every night, takes away some of the worry you may have being a solo traveler. The events are also really good for meeting new people in the hostel and who are traveling I found it helpful coming here on my own but the staff and other guests made me feel really welcome. Bedrooms are quite good they have a bit more privacy than some other hostels I've been to and love that there are individual lockers to store valuables in its like the hostel has thought of it all. Really loved this place so much I have extended to stay a bit longer. I think my favourite place in Sydney to stay would highly recommend! :)

“Very good place to stay, I will definitely come back.”
