We had to check in through the pub, which after a long walk to the hostel isn't what you want. The rooms were quite big, but the balcony door didn't lock so anyone could have walked along the roof and into the room. The floors were filthy and our bed sheets hadn't been changed. The pillows stank of greasy hair... More

I stayed in this hotel over new years and had a pretty good time! I really like the location. It's on William St - the main road between the CBD (city) and Kings Cross (the main backpacker area). The hotel is based over a pub, and to check in you need to go to the bar area. I stayed in... More

Had a good time. In fairness it was the crowd that made it but got good roof top to drink on. If you want luxury your barking up the wrong tree. If you wanna good time in a great location, this is the one. More

You can see the skyline of sydney and i think you also can see the harbour bridge. Check it out and you'll see. There are... More

Overall stay was quite bad. We needed an inexpensive place to stay in Sydney for the night so that we could pick up our hire car the next morning to head to the Blue Mountains. The hostel is over a pub and to get to your rooms you must carry your bags up a few flights of stairs (not uncommon... More

The hostel is actually on top of a pub. I'd made a last minute booking so ended up with a four bed dorm to myself, if you have a heavy suitcase you'll have to carry it upstairs as there's no lift, but this shouldn't affect the backpacking brigade. Facilities are a bit tired looking, but cleaned regularly, there's two kitchens,... More

This Hostel can be recommended to anybody who wants to stay in Sydney without paying a fortune or living in a disgusting environment. I stayed in a shitty Hostel in Kings Cross for the first two nights. As soon as I got there I knew I´d have to look for somethin else. When I saw the Strand it was what... More
