ExcellentOct 20198.8
The staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom had obviously been renovated and was clean and functional. The location is handy to Newtown with restaurants and public transport, and reasonably close to the airport.
The room was pretty dark and felt a little cold and damp.

MediocreOct 20193.3
Place was disgusting, found cockroaches in the room and ants on the bed! The guy working at reception could not of been ruder, I have never met someone so rude that works in the industry he really shouldn’t be working with the public.

Nice place, if you’ve travelled a lot it’s just what you would expect of a hostel, nothing more nothing less. The staff were friendly but a lot of the guests weren’t, this shouldn’t go against the hostel though if you decide to stay here I just thought I’d point it out, it is one of the only hostels I have ever stayed at were I haven’t made many friends because of everyone having little clicky groups or there being a huge language barrier. I made friends with a Scottish guy which was cool but usually I will chat with everyone and I found that I didn’t/couldn’t do that here. That aside I would stay here again if I was ever in this part of Sydney although it did feel a little pricey when extended my stay but then again it is Sydney for you.

The showers were great, and the hostel was quite clean
Staff was not very friendly. The pool was not open which was why we paid extra to stay there, the photos were very outdated and not very accurate. Beds and pillows were not greag
