One of the best run hostel experiences I’ve had anywhere in the world. Would happily stay again!
Brooke, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The door slamming, all day all night, is unbearable. The hotel should do something about it. Housekeepers shows they're vacuuming but the is a pile of dust behind the bedroom door. In slite of that, the staff is very professional and courteous. Bus, tram and trains are just steps away.
Annie, 5-night trip

I had a private room with the shared bathroom, it was small but clean and surprisingly quiet, so it was perfect for what I wanted.

The location is unbeatable—right next to Central Station. Both the beds and the shared bathrooms are very clean, and the hostel even offers a free walking city tour. The kitchen is spacious, well-managed, and perfect for cooking your own meals. I would definitely choose to stay here again the next time I visit Sydney.
Xiao lei, 2-night trip

Extremely close to Central Station and perfect spot for a short getaway to Sydney. Ample room to store breakfast items and drinks in the kitchen fridges. Love the individual light and power point for each bed. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Unfortunately Wake Up at all their hostels have elected to discriminate against all over 40s- males and females. Ageism just like racism and sexism is a scourge in our Australian society. My mature age friends have travelled to many coubaround the

The hostel was geared toward young travelers. It is convenient to a train station (and airport train) and has lots of shopping and dining around. The two guest bunk room I rented was tiny but adequate ,communal showers and toilets old but clean. Loved the over sized window in the tiny room. 24 hour staff was helpful.
