The location is hard to beat. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merv 11 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great people ##### Merv Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher 28 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Manly, Guest's need help. 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. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan 28 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Nathan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Miles 9 Oct 2022 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Close to bars ##### Miles Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carl 30 Mar 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities 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. ##### Carl Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Delan 9 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff are friendly and happy which is nice. Reasonable for what it is. Definitely noisy though. Haha ##### Delan ### 8/10 Good #### Shelli 13 Jan 2024 Liked: Staff & service 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. ##### Shelli Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Crystal 9 Dec 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was horrible ##### Crystal Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 6 Dec 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Great location, needs a deep clean This is a great base in Manly, the Corso facing rooms have some noise at night and the street cleaning machines start about 5.30 but earplugs should see to that. The kitchen and communal areas need a deep clean, the room was tired and dusty, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. You get what you pay for and by the amount of long-term guests it appears there are work opportunities. The free breakfast- cereal, toast, tea+coffee was welcome. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Josephine 27 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Im going to report it to the dept of Health its disgusting. No need for filth like that, no ventilation, soap or hand towels. The showers havent been cleaned in years (or anything else) it stank ##### Josephine Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Giuliana 3 Nov 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Its very run down and needs up dating and thhe bath rooms were dirty and smelt.horrible ##### Giuliana ### 4/10 Poor #### Alex 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dirty, loud and not cheap Really dirty, staring at the same dead flies all weekend let's you know they don't clean anything. Showers smelt pretty bad. Room was just generally gross on all surfaces. Windows don't shut properly so street is full volume and market gets set up early at the weekends right outside. Location is great but a really poor quality hostel. I've stayed in a lot of backpackers places but this was one of the grossest, which is kinda crazy given the price. ##### Alex Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Morris-Hotel-Sydney.h1738408.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Sydney Darling Harbour by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Sydney-Darling-Harbour.h41523348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Pullman-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h14111.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Sydney.h2220.Hotel-Information) > > [Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Aiden-By-Best-Western-Darling-Harbour.h67610514.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Rocks by Ode Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Harbour-Rocks-By-Ode-Hotels.h40904.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney.h9035.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-On-Darling-Harbour.h26579.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradox Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Paradox-Sydney.h564600.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney Parramatta](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-Parramatta.h17525.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Mascot Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Mascot-Central.h15130172.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Sydney Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Pullman-Sydney-Airport.h15271653.Hotel-Information) > > [Wake Up!
