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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ema 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like the place, convenient to the city, place is nice and clean.Staff is amazing, definitely recommended. :) ##### Ema Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael 21 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique and quirky little complex.

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 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Phill 14 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Private room was clean & comfortable.
