Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life.

Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize.
The Elevator needs to be fixed, Otherwise a wonderful stay, the guests were wonderful. I think some would like the different embassy's to help them get home. I can't wait to stay again soon.
Decent budget accommodation right on the Manly strip. Private room was reasonably large and comfy. However, it's an old building with poor soundproofing, so a fair bit of noise through the night.
