It's beautiful. The location was well positioned to Central station and parklands and ethnic cuisine. I haven't stayed in a back packers - ever! So it felt bizarre sharing a room with 3 strangers. But no snorers, and they were obviously seasoned backpackers who were respectful of noise and lighting. Felt safe. Everyone keeps to themselves. Good bed. Clean sheets. ##### Moira Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Skye 11 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness On first appearance the room seemed clean, however there were so many cockroaches.

As a result of this I had to sit on Central station for the night. Not only incompetent, but unconscionable. ##### John ### 2/10 Terrible #### Amelia 1 May 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities So I have stayed at this hostel before but I stayed in the first building and it was great and this time I stayed in the second building where reception is and it was awful. The kitchen was so dirty, there was marks on all the cups and plates and cutlery. There was also birds and flys in the kitchen, they were all picking at the free food box. The rooms were disgusting, there was mold on the ceiling and I’m sure that’s why I have such a tight chest now and I’ve been coughing so much. The bathroom had dirt all over the floor. The receptionist was the most miserable person ever. Everyone is just so miserable. ##### Amelia Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Liam 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everyone very friendly ##### Liam Stayed 1 night in May 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 #### Rachel 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities very nice and accomadating ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/840ac9ca-185f-41f5-a68b-861683aeda88-1749187780256.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie 25 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kind and welcoming receptionists.

Not happy.........? ##### Leanne Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dean 3 Dec 2023 Disliked: Staff & service I booked 4 nights 26-30 Nov in The Village Surrey Hills on the Expedia website. When I showed up I was refused a bed due to my age. I asked the manager to show me the rules of this 18-35 AGE RESTRICTION. She refused. I asked her to speak to someone higher up.. refused! I asked her who owns the company,no info. She was of no help! I wanted to show her my booking so she could see there is NO mention anywhere while booking on Expedia of this restriction or even in the rule etc. in confirmation email from Expedia. I still have not received a refund from the hostel I was told I'd be getting. AVOID! ##### Dean Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Samantha 2 Dec 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I stayed at the village for a night awhile back and I didn’t love my time there. Staff weren’t very friendly right off the bat. The room I had was a mixed dorm and there were beer bottles everywhere and the floor of the bathroom by the toilet was completely wet. There was no shower so I’m trying to not imagine what the liquid was. Although it’s not necessarily the village’s responsibility to make sure people don’t have drinks in rooms it’d be nice if people were more encouraged to leave them out of the rooms. I did feel a bit unsafe although everything was fine, but that feeling comes with the area. Overall it wasn’t an awful stay but it definitely wasn’t great. It is a party hostel so if that’s your vibe great, but the price I paid for a 1 night stay was not good. ##### Samantha ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie 28 Oct 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Room adequate, close to transport. Fridge rattled, windows and blinds need urgent repairs. Shower light flickered. Toilet roll holder too close to toilet seat, and i'm a size 10 :/ ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Vibe Hotel Sydney Darling Harbour](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Vibe-Hotel-Sydney-Darling-Harbour.h36379202.Hotel-Information) > > [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!
