Highly recommended. ##### Jamie Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Modern backpacker accomodation I booked this at the last minute for our family of 4\. I see this as a modern day take on a backpackers. We stayed in a private 4-bed (2 bunk) dorm, including a private bathroom. Everything was clean, modern and looked to be a new. There were outdoor areas, room keys were managed within an app (super easy), and staff were friendly. The location is great, about a 10 minute walk from Central or Redfern stations. There are plenty of e-bikes to hire which makes the trip back to the CBD fast and fun. Just don't confuse the private 4-bed dorm for a private queen room - you still need to BYO towel, or buy one at the reception. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erlend 31 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hostel.

She went out of her way to swap me to another room because I had a bad back. I was very happy I did not have to sleep on the top bunk bed. ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Virginia 3 Nov 2023 Liked: Staff & service #### Ok For the price we paid, we had a great stay in Sydney, so this place offers great value for money if you want a private room. The kitchen was too small for cooking in and the communal areas weren’t the cleanest. The bed wasn’t amazingly comfy. The local area is great, lots of cafes and restaurants. Overall, good value for money but not the best. ##### Virginia Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Marco 2 Jan 2026 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Room not clean.

They don't use FOBs or keys. I booked without knowledge of this (I use a distraction-free flip-phone), and was given numeric codes for the door locks. This always worked for my room's door, but rarely worked for the property's front door. ##### Adrian Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Supun 5 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place ##### Supun Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beniamin 3 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel ##### Beniamin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Drew 21 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice property, well located. ##### Drew Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Roy 14 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Was good ##### Roy Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beniamin 2 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good price for what you get here also nice atmosphere!

Safe, clean and quiet and really close to everything I needed. An easy walk to the station to get to the airport too. Definitely worth it! ##### A Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Freyja 10 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location, clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Only down side was that the room I was in was opposite the 24 hour kitchen which meant it was noisy during the night. ##### Freyja Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Citadines Connect Sydney Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Citadines-Connect-Sydney-Airport.h20235443.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Sydney Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Central-YHA-Hostel.h3657444.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [Ovolo Sydney Woolloomooloo, a Wyndham Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Ovolo-Woolloomooloo.h460350.Hotel-Information) > > [Wake Up!
