7.5 Good
Pros: The pods were cool lots of privacy . Good value for the price
Cons: Bathrooms were a bit sketchy but manageable . Good value however there was a few crazy people in the room and alarms going off at 7 am that no one answered and since everyone’s in a locked pod it’s hard to find where it was coming from . A crazy person was also in the room

Pros: Friends and I booked out one of the dorms with private bathroom for a night to hit the town without the long trek home to northern Sydney in the wee hours of the morning. The room was great, beds comfortable and it was just across from the rooftop area where you get a wonderful view of the harbour, including the bridge and the Opera House. Seemed to be people of all ages staying there, there’s lots of games and outings too and the staff were friendly and helpful. Already planning a return trip with another group of friends!!

Pros: It was in a great location, the staff is very helpful, and the WIFI is really good. It's really secure. You get in and out the rooms with a key card and the front door requires the key card after hours. When I checked out, I was able to hang around in the lobby and was offered a key card that gave me access to the kitchen. I'd stay here again next time I'm in Sydney.

Pros: The staff were friendly and the bathroom really clean
Cons: The room floors were literally sticky they were so filthy, the music from the bar shook the room, other travelers in room were loud and messy, spilling goon everywhere and bringing food into the room. They didn’t respect quiet hours and snuck strangers in the hostel which was annoying and uncomfortable.

Cons: Many of the staff are really unprofessional. Not a smile or a kind attention when you check in or ask for info. Just doing their job with no dedication and not much professionalism. Like many hostels in Australia it is huge and feels like summer camp. You feel lost in the crowd. Staff coming to knock on the door in evening to ask you to come for parties. More than once me or others were asleep and they woke us up.

Pros: It’s very close to the train station, just a few minutes walk. Throughout the day you’ll hear planes flying over since it’s close to the airport but at night it is quiet due to planes not being allowed to fly past 10-11pm or so. Not very much traffic at all, it is in a pretty quiet area. The reception people were kind and I had no issues checking in or out, very simple. My room was clean and the bathrooms while shared were clean as well. If you’re looking for a quieter area outside the CBD this is a good option.

Pros: Centrally located. Friendly and helpful staff.
Cons: The initial thrill of sleeping in a space capsule like hotel (and the low price) quickly wears off when you find out the capsules are rickety, cheap plastic, capsules that reverberate ever single sound that any of the 10 or so other guests might make during the night. You can't even lock your capsule. The sink in the bathroom was blocked during my stay.

Pros: It's great when you're inside the capsule - feeling of space and can really spread out
Cons: you're in a glorified hostel. shared lockers, shared bathrooms. they're not particularly sound proof which wasn't excellent.

8.8 Excellent
Pros: Size of the room was great. We had a sink and a fridge in the room. No A/C but the fan was enough. Friendly and helpful staff. Super location; very close to Kings Cross Station and walking distance to CBD.
Cons: Breakfast wasn't much and you only had a recyling bin in your room. And the room was always quite dark because of the close neighbouring building. Luggage storage doesn't offer space for big suitcases.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Location of Hostel is great and you get pretty good value for your money there. A basic breakfast is also included in the roomfare, which is very nice. Staff is helpful.
Cons: Surprisingly many of the occupants apparently did not know how to flush the toilets in the shared bathrooms... The facade of the building could do with a paintjob or a small facelift.

Cons: Poor ventilation in the rooms, 4 bunks and bodies, small room, so maybe fit a louvre vent in the door to get some air flow. Also, the light in the room is bright. This is good, except for the people on the top bunks. A strip of paint on one side of tbe shade to block the light over the top beds would make a big improvement.

I was originally placed in a room where the others were all long-termers, and there were no bottom bunks left. I tried to do the top, and was worried if I needed to get out during the night. The girl in the office did wonderfully to check if there were any bottom bunks free that I could transfer to, and there was one! I was very appreciative. And almost all the people I met there were great and high-quality. I will probably use them again if I go back to Sydney seeking similar accommodation...

Cons: Wifi's barely worth using although it is apparently unlimited if you can get it to work. In a 10 bed room it's pretty hit or miss who you'll get thrown in with, and my experience was pretty awful this time around. 1 small fridge for all rooms, lost my food bag pretty much every day, and at 7am on the morning I was checking out my food had already been thrown on the free food shelf.

Cons: I had a very early start on the day I checked out, and arose even earlier than I needed to. There was no problem with this EXCEPT that the hours of usage in the lounge room (with a TV) were limited. I understand why, probably because of noise, but it was a little disappointing. Mature and common-sense people wouldn't have the volume high, but I'm not sure how they would make a change to that...

8.0 Excellent
Pros: The hotel is right in the heart of the Sydney CBD. It is close to restaurants and shopping stores. The staff was welcoming , accommodating and always ready to help. Rooms are clean with a fan and heater if needed.
Cons: A lift would have been better. But it’s a heritage hotel so not possible. The rooms are too small and feel like a capsule.

Pros: I had an ensuite room. It had a chair and a desk (which I need - and which wasn't available in my previous hotel (which cost three times as much)). There was a boiling water machine outside my door and free teabags at reception - so I could have tea. The place is well located for seeing Taipei. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was a free-to-use washing machine on the top floor. Chiliblue gave me everything (or more) any other hotel in Taipei did but for a lot less money. I would be happy to stay there again.

4.6 Okay
Pros: I liked that I had to leave this place.
Cons: This hostel is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in, absolutely disgusting. OK first of all the check in was alright and it is reasonably close to the station, but that is literally this place has going for it. They give you a ticket listing the rules of the hostel which on paper seems to display quite a strict standard of cleanliness and drinking policy but once you go inside the hostel you will find out otherwise. The corridors are in disrepair and on my first entry to my room I couldn't open the door due to all the stuff laying around the room from other Backpackers, the room stank like a dying animal and there were bottles of pee and ashtrays on the windowsil. That evening at about two in the morning (this was a Tuesday night by the way so you can only imagine what it is like on weekends) three French Backpackers came into the room drinking and making lots of noise, I could smell cannabis and rolled over to see what was going on and one of them was lighting up a CRACK PIPE. I was terrified. I was only in Sydney for a short stay and I wanted to change hostels after the first night but I didn't want to waste my time looking for more accommodation so I had to put up with this disgusting place. The showers don't stay warm, the kitchen and outdoor areas are cleaned but barely as there is always rubbish and leftover food laying around. I HAVE LITERALLY SLEPT ON STREETS NICER THAN THIS. I understand that it is a very cheap hostel and for that you can't really complain about much but there is a really basic standard that should be adhered to and the fact that this is being ignored just shows that the hostel staff are lazy and don't care that they are facilitating filthy living and drug use. I didn't even have fresh bedding. If you read this then I implore you to never stay here and hopefully this place will receive a lack of business and close down as no one should have to experience this utterly awful hostel.
6.7 Good
Pros: Cheap and cheerful
Cons: The toilets were often messy, bins full ect. Didn't get a clean feeling anywhere in the hostel. No towels available only to buy. No aircon and the room was uncomfortably hot.

Cons: We have to give a $20 deposit to get a cutlery box Kitchen dirty Wc dirty Cold water in the shower

5.0 Okay
Pros: Warm hot showers.
Cons: Staff were bland. As a solo backpacker who stays in hostels, I know what to expect. Bland and unenthusiastic staff is not one of them. Kitchen really dirty. Large open space and really dirty. Corridor smells of old stinky boots. The price you pay for standard x6 bedroom dorm doesn't equate when facilities are not maintained or a few basic hygiene rules are not enforced. Poor WiFi signal everywhere except for the corridor.

Pros: Walked straight into room and straight out. After one, scared staff member (afraid of losing job) only offered my key deposit back, another staff member kindly told him to give me a full refund. Which showed clear understanding of the condition of the room. My friend wasnt so lucky the next day and had no refund. City of Sydney - close this place down! Disgrace after such high standards in poor S/e asian countries.

Pros: It was exactly what you pay for. It is great value for money and at a great location, staff are great, except the house keeping cleaners are a little intrusive! It would be good if we are told when they arrive each day (what time, etc) because I paid for a double PRIVATE room and they randomly knock and walk in to take the rubbish out? It would be good to be given some notice before they arrive

Pros: Staffs are friendly and location is good.
Cons: The whole place is infested with cockroach everywhere. The management need to improve with the cleanliness of both the common areas and the rooms.
7.5 Good
Pros: Excellent location on Pitt street
Cons: I have only one complaint The shower head AND one of the taps where missing so my shower was interesting
6.7 Good
Pros:
Cons: You need to claim the very steep stairs before you check-in to the reception. No lift available or help with their staff in lifting your heavy luggages upstairs. No free breakfast . No coffee available. No water available.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: I will like to say everyone not to go to this worst horrible place. As soon as it was morning I ran away just like wild pigs are after me.
Cons: The worst place a tiny staircase takes u to level 1. I had 30 kg bag and one can imagine then. No space to put your luggage for security.
2.8 Mediocre
Pros: only it's location
Cons: the room is so messy. bed sheets and blankets are not washed. They also won't lend us bath towels since no more of it are on stock SMH. only 1 elevator is working to serve a lot of guests. they even tried to "scam" us of 20 AUD, we just insisted to check their security camera to return our room key deposit - this could've been avoided if the staff issued a some sort of deposit receipt, not just on verbal. I also find some of the staff rude.. like I know that it is a cheap stay but they could've been more apologetic of all the inconveniences they've caused us. everything is so AWFUL.. this is place is totally unlivable!!

Disgrace after such high standards in poor S/e asian countries.
Cons: Booked the 32 bed "church" room, only because a friend booked for the same date..we were expecting it to be bad, but do-able! But.. it was like a crack den! Please do no not go there. If i had the motivation, id actually report it to trading standards. The place should be closed down. It smelt like death, beds were inches from one another, someone sleeping in my allocated bed. So dark! Seemed like a haven for bed bugs, mice and disease. This is not even an exaggerated rant. Its fact! The owner and city of Sydney should be ashamed this place is allowed to do what its doing! Very bad representation of Australia. Imagine what the poor backpackers who spent their first night of their time in the country in this place!
