I stayed in a private queen room, and alhough I was told that there were no towels and toiletries that must be for the dorms, as I had both. Toiletries and towels supplied and room air conditioned. Room was quiet and comfortable. Good kitchen for backpackers, and I believe there are organised activities. Huge TV screen and you can use your own apps. Location is handy for Central Station and was able to find a Lebanese and Indian restaurants five minutes up the road. Seemed safe enough early as there was a show on at the Grand Electric next door. Staff were friendly but didnt know some local information in regards to restaurants locally. Maybe an information folder would be good.

What struck me right away was the warm welcome upon my arrival. I felt like an important guest — we had a little chat, and then they walked me to my room, even asking if I needed help with my luggage. The rooms are really cozy and clean; I slept wonderfully. After a long trip, I was also able to stretch out in the gym inside the facility. They even organize Pilates classes! I’ll definitely come back next time I’m in Sydney :)
