Sydney Hostellit

Plussat: I like kitchen there

Miinukset: Room a bit expensive

Plussat: Ruoanlaittomahdollisuudet oikein hyvät. Talon burger-päivälliset ja pastaillalliset hyvä ja edullinen valinta.

Miinukset: Viikonloppuöinä meluisaa.

Plussat: Near to Sydney Opera House. Good location!

Plussat: Everything! Incredible view from rooftop (opera!), great location, spacious rooms, helpful staff, clean, mini market right next door, historic site right within the hostel, ...

Miinukset: I was in two different rooms (I decided spontaneously to stay longer) and the second room was a bit noisy due to construction nearby

Plussat: Superb location for exploring the centre of Sydney, especially the Rocks, ...and beyond, as the Central Quays with the ferries to so many parts of town, and the MRT station are just a few minutes stroll away. Excellent facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfasts available or do your own thing...free DIY pancakes on Wednesday mornings. The amazing view from the rooftop terrace. A wide range of activities, trips and tours available, and staff will help you book onto commercial tours, with some discounts available for hostellers. A wide range of fellow guests, singles, couples, families, groups of young people, from around the world. Friendly atmosphere.

Plussat: Nice staff, great design, great location!

Miinukset: Not a good architectural interior planning as there are no windows in the corridor and it was cold During the nights with winds blowing in all directions in corridors... also very big noise from construction

Plussat: I like the excellent position, the terrace with a wonderful view on the harbour also staff is proactive and nice

Miinukset: the warm system is centralized it works but it can be better the lock system of door is not efficent, we have changed card-key 2 times

Plussat: You get what you pay for, but the view lives up to the expectation

Plussat: Location, rooftop drinks, trains and ferries close by, all kinds of food within a 10 minute walk, you can't beat it.

Plussat: I've totally enjoyed my stay here. When I visited it wasn't terribly social but there are things that made up for it. One of course is the amazing rooftop view! Simply one of the best view in all of the city. Another one is their environmental awareness. Kudos to them for promoting it! Tips: Bring your own lock and I've only figured on my second day that you have to turn both shower handles to get the right temperature. lol

Plussat: The facilities were clean and everyone was really friendly

Miinukset: There was a lot of long stay people in my room

Plussat: It was nice and closes to Central Station and public transport, the kitchen and dining area are just great, you can cook your own food that can be kept in big fridges. The breakfast on offer was good with a good range of cereal and bread on offer, the staff were all so friendly and helpful, i would not stay in a hotel in Sydney, the Big Hostel is really value for money and perfect for families.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great friendly staff who were knowledgeable about the area. Convenient location and contains all the necessities I needed. Great vibes and exactly what I was looking for in my price range.

Miinukset: The room TV was tiny and very far from the bed, I had to restart it a couple of times to get the volume to work. Continental breakfast was okay.

Plussat: The hostel is quite large and has a variety of room accommodations. It was well run with places to store bags on check in and check out. My favorite part about this place was the location. It was near the museum train stop which made getting to other parts of the city a 5 minute train ride or a 20 minute walk. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the heater worked well.

Miinukset: The heater was very strong and I was very dry throughout the night. I recommend a lower bunk in the winter to avoid the dry air from the heater.

Plussat: The staff very friendly. Clean and tidy double room

Miinukset: Huone oli ahdas ja tylsä, ei kokovartalopeiliä, hostellin käytävätilat ahtaat ja epäsiistit.

Plussat: Excellent stall with good advice and beautiful smile

Plussat: Amazing staff who were so friendly on arrival and gave us loads of advice on places to go.

Miinukset: The air con felt more like it was heating the room.

Plussat: Super chill and welcoming environment, great central location, and clean facilities. Awesome place!

Plussat: Best hostel in Sydney by far!

Plussat: The best location, atmosphere is so good enough to talk with other backpackers and common places are clean!

Miinukset: Unable to use my phone on bed with recharging..(in case of fire)

Plussat: Great location.

Plussat: It was cheap and right in the CBD

Miinukset: The rubbish bin was overflowing, the carpet was dirty, and there was red wine spilled all over the bathroom/shower

Plussat: Convenience, Price was good. Little waiting area while waiting to check in. They could hold my luggage while I was waiting too. Easy check out as I had to leave early in the morning, I just put the key in the box.

Miinukset: The bed creaked a bit when I got in and out of it. My capsule was right next to an open window. It was windy while I was there and the street was noisy but I just asked for them to close the window.

Plussat: The sistem

Miinukset: Bothing all what was foe me ro aspext

Plussat: Kapseli oli tosi siisti ja mukava, suuri lukollinen lokero matkalaukulle, keittiö oli siisti ja käytännöllinen

Miinukset: Kylpyhuone olisi voinut olla hieman siistimmässä kunnossa

Plussat: The location is definitely impressive, right at the heart of the city. That's the only good thing I can think of.

Miinukset: The experience was weird all the way from finding the place to leaving it. The "rooms" are basically boxes stacked on top of each other and next to each other, so its basically a mixed dorm with plastic walls for each, but you can fully hear your neighbors. You can also hear the construction works around the place night. the locker is a separate distant closet which is really annoying to go to each time for the bags. also you cannot sleep with the bags next to you cause the "room" is practically a bed, with people on the top/bottom + left + right of you, separated with cheap plastic walls, which includes the front weird entrance door. the sheets were never replaced like you would expect from a hotel. you cant even leave things to charge up because the power is off once leaving the pod. its basically a unique* dorm room experience. I could have added 10$ for a whole place of my own but chose capsule for its location. its alright for maybe two nights - max!

Plussat: The hostel was exceptionally clean and smelled super fresh. The showers were fairest large which was a nice surprise! The location and staff are 10/10!

Miinukset: My capsule bed had less padding than my friends so my body was constantly sore when I woke up. I would definitely add thicker mattress pads in the pods.

Plussat: Great location, cheap and convenient. Only a 5 walk to the train station!

Miinukset: While I was there they conducted fire test alarms during the morning and When returning to my capsule that day, the lock was gone. I thought that someone had broken in but apparently everyones locks were taken off due to safety reasons in which I found this out the next morning but asking at reception. I think that with something like that there should have been notice.

Plussat: I like how the beds are comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: Not much

Miinukset: Is good considered it’s price, but the sound proof was bad u can hear everyone including person from upper bed. The bed sheet was wried and not fit, the tv is not working . But other than that it was good.

Plussat: The location was ideal for me as it was close to an event I was attending. If you has bad knees or require assistance, there is a lift that takes you to Level 3 where the reception is (albeit the lift is a bit slow!) The capsules are comfortable for me and has all I need - a safe, power point, space for my bottle. It took me a few minutes to familiarise myself with the buttons inside the capsule. The capsule is not soundproof - I could hear a busker playing outside 3 floors down, and unfortunately the busker was not very good! That being said, I slept well in my one night stay. I loved that I had my own privacy inside the capsule. I was in the top capsule, when the occupant below me was moving in and out of their capsule I could hear and feel movement, but it's the same as when you sleep on the top bunk bed so not a put off for me. All in all, a decent stay.

Miinukset: Sound proofing the windows, so that the traffic and noise outside is kept to a minimal.

Miinukset: They have small private ourdoor area

Plussat: It's great when you're inside the capsule - feeling of space and can really spread out

Miinukset: you're in a glorified hostel. shared lockers, shared bathrooms. they're not particularly sound proof which wasn't excellent.

Plussat: Good location, pricing, security and breakfast was decent.

Miinukset: Room was quite small and cramped. Also needed a good dusting. Some fresh air would have been nice too.

Miinukset: Free Wi-Fi was not able to be picked up by my phone

Plussat: Very clean

Miinukset: The outside breakfast and dining room because now it's cold.

Plussat: The receptionist was lovely and polite.

Miinukset: Parking was difficult to find

Plussat: I like it was pretty close to the venue I needed to go early! And cheap too!!!

Plussat: The location is in quiet area, closer to train station and free car park on street around hostel.

Miinukset: I did not like seeing many roaches.

Plussat: Facilities were great, everything you needed. Building was a beautiful piece of architecture. Nice touch to have small snackbox as a welcome gift. Staff were friendly and informative.

Miinukset: Room was OK and could've been cleaner as there was fingerprints/dried liquid on the cupboard doors.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and it was great to meet travellers from lots of countries and Australia.

Miinukset: The lock on the bathroom door on the ground level needs fixing - trouble getting out. I would like to see the sink plugs in the kitchen work so you can wash up without just running the tap - we're very water conscious in the drought!

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: Creaky floorboards disturbed my sleep

Plussat: The lodge was very clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I had a very pleasant stay. Excellent value for money.

Miinukset: Couldn’t say a bad word about it. 10/10.

Plussat: Staff at reception is great, common areas are clean and kitchen is huge. location is perfect

Miinukset: Stairs..too many if you travel with big luggage

Plussat: ..just for an overnight before going to the airport, why spend 3 times as much? Walking distance to harbor.

Plussat: Close to everything, 5mins walk from metro., is in chinatown. Lots of restaurants and coles supermarket is just across the street. Good value for money

Miinukset: No lift

Miinukset: od Pitt st at night is teriblle noise

Plussat: Its near town...

Plussat: The staff is really nice and helpful. There is free food four times a week with a vegetarian option (if you pre-order it). The location is amazing and the amenities and the kitchen is very clean. :D

Miinukset: It is a "party hostel". Which means a lot of drinking games in the evenings and very drunk people, especially on the weekends. They ran out of vegetarian patties really fast.

Plussat: Free food is good. Friendly staff. Location is good.

Miinukset: The smell of corridor is unpleasant. The bathroom is so so. Too noisy

Plussat: hot shower Works! Good pillow, clean towel

Miinukset: it was really noisy, and I could hear neighbors door loudly as if it was our own door. Bed could be a little softer.

Plussat: staffs were really nice and helpful

Plussat: The location ease us to walk around the city.

Plussat: no breakfast. location was good

Miinukset: noise from maloneys, and other guests at the maze

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: The hostel was very quiet. There are many full-time tenants there so they usually return from work, cook and socialise and then head to bed. The staff were very approachable, helpful and easy-going. Staff make an effort to clear the fridges of the old food. The people in my mixed-dorm were lovely, clean and tidy. The TV was barely turned on and always on very low volume. The location was fantastic. There's a Woolworth's metro just 80m walk away.

Miinukset: The Sofa in the chill room was broken. Though we still used it, it tilted to the ground. The hostel is located close to a homeless shelter so you have some non-violent, gentle but rough-looking homeless walking around the are. None of them asked for money or hassled me.

Plussat: Good location. Walking distance to CBD and 15 mins with trains to Opera house etc.

Miinukset: Room was really really small. 4 man room and you would struggle if 2 were in there trying to get ready at the same time. Only 2 toilets and shower on my floor as well for 6 rooms. I was lucky and never waited once in 3 days but this was low season and could be a problem in the busier months.

Plussat: Very accessible and convenient. Walking distance to train stations such as Kings Cross, TownHall and St. James. One of the cleanest hostel I have been to. Toilets and Bathrooms are clean (The most important). I suggest if you could put privacy curtains too:) I would like to commend Alex for being prompt in addressing my concerns and requests even if we were mostly just communicating thru email. My friends, that I also recommended to check-in, appreciated how Alex attended them as well. Superb customer service indeed! Thank you very much Alex. Keep up the good work! May God Bless you.

Miinukset: Kitchen- 1. Some guests don't wash their stuff after eating which makes the kitchen dirty. I suggest impose it in the house rules as a reminder. 2. Only 1 toaster available for 2 sliced bread, need to wait for your turn for a few minutes since many are lining up. 3. No space in the fridge too. Room- housekeeping did not put the comforter cover so we had to put it ourselves.

Plussat: The location is good, staff is nice

Miinukset: The cleanliness of the toilet and kitchen are the main problem here, since too many guests staying and most of them do not really respect the rules, kitchen mostly messy and sink is full and dirty all the time

Plussat: Very friendly staff (Alex) was a great help in explaining the hostel and all the local transport, shops and attractions The rooms are comfy Nice rooftop terrace with nice view Free computer access in the lobby Nice communal area with big flat screen TV and comfy couch

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Good location, good price, friendly staff.

Miinukset: Not quite satisfy with the pillow & blanket. Small room. Shared bathroom.

Plussat: Breakfast included with the minimum necessary

Miinukset: The sheets full of hairs. Disgusting. I carried on my suitcase without any help until the secondo floor. The key didn’t work.

Plussat: Staff (Alex) is very accommodating.

Plussat: Hospitable staff.
