29 Apr 2012 Syn Wooi, Malaysia
We stay for few nights. The location is great, accessible to most of the places in Sydney which is less than 30 minutes walk.

the gate card is invalid for couple of days, which actually brought me some trouble when I wanted to use the washroom

I think the staff made an excellent job but I do wish the male guests would pee IN the toilet and then flush!

This is an excellent hostel with a great location. The noise level can be a bit high on the lower floors though. The staff are generally nice, but not always knowledgeable or polite enough.

Nice rooms, clean, friendly staff, great location and good security. After 1 month in Australia with different YHA, this was the best one.

Good hostel. Free lockers if you bring your own padlock. Or buy a lock at Reception. Good cooking area. WiFi expensive. Rooms clean and don't smell (big plus). Showers good. Location amazing. Huge social area (but it doesn't really promote interaction with others because it is so big!) Staff could be a little friendlier, but they were friendly regardless. Would stay here again.

Amazing location. The convenience to many places and next to Central Station is even more better. Strongly recommended to others without a doubt
