“Good value for money- cheap stay”
Easily accessible to the city area. The beds are comfortable enough for a one to two-day stay. The rooms are warm, and the air conditioning is not adjustable. Would need more clean showers and toilets, though

Prize is suitable for travellers. Staffs are really patient and good heart. You can put your luggage in the store room when you check out. And you can enjoy your trip before leaving Sydney on that day. The bed is comfortable and you do not need to make the bed sheet and pillow cover yourself, which is fascinating.

“Good for a short Sydney sty.”
Typical pod room. Not much light, which doesn’t matter as room is for sleeping only. Comfy mattress, light and power point in pod. Price is right.

I had a really great stay here in Sydney! hostel is extremely clean esp. the women’s shower and restroom, which really stood out. The bed linen is high quality, and the mattress is very comfortable, so I slept really well. The staff is kind, responsive, and always willing to help. Free wifi is good speed, they also provide shower gel and shampoo (learned that it's not that common for other hostels in SYD). Spacious lounge area and kitchen are quite comfy. Even though it’s located right in the city center, it’s surprisingly quiet inside. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Central Station, and there are plenty of great cafés and bus stops nearby, which made getting around super easy. I stayed for two nights, and this place genuinely made my Sydney experience so much better. Highly recommend!
