the only attraction here for me was the location and price. you can pretty much walk to the surrounds and to circular quay to catch the ferries. the dorm i got had 2 people who were staying in it long term - they were filthy and couldnt care less :/ the room wasnt cleaned in all the 4 nights i...

I stayed in a single, private room with ensuite and found the room well equipped and adequate for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal as the train station is only a few minutes away, and there are numerous buses, which allows one to travel virtually anywhere in Sydney and the suburbs. Around a... More

Having come to Sydney straight from Asia, the main attraction was the price, as most of Sydney is incredibly expensive. As my partner and I had planned to live and work in Sydney for over 6 months, we originally intended to stay long-term and took a week of accommodation on the weekly rate which worked out to be very good...

We stayed for 4 nights in a private room, the room was a bit small and only had a bed, fridge, tv and sink. The staff was really nice to us and gave advise on what to do and what was on in the city, we took a really good guided tour and saw some fire works on our first... More

Stayed here only due to the price. Seemed nice and clean and was constantly being cleaned by the staff. The staff were a mismatch. Some seemed energetic and happy to help or even just say hello, others it seemed like too much effort to even recognise our presence. Room was tiny and boiling hot, and too noisy at the weekend....

Like the header already indicates, there is absolutely no reason to go to this place except for the price (which compared to Asia still is ridiculously high)! Staff is unmotivated, bathrooms are dumps and most of the other guests have nothing in mind but drinking and shouting! Avoid it!

I checked into Zing after having stayed at another hostel that was a bit of a hellhole so anything was gonig to be better. But Zing was definitely much better! The room had enough space for everything we needed and included a sink and a fridge which I've not had before while travelling. There's several showers and bathrooms so I... More

I've stayed at a few hostels in Sydney and this is by far my favorite one. The staff are beyond helpful and truly wonderful. It is also really clean and in an excellent location. They have sinks and fridges in the rooms and a great outdoor patio. Stay here! Thanks guys, Cassie

Stayed here with my boyfriend in a double room for our last week in Australia. When we came to ask prices the staff member was rude but we came anyway.. Didn't get much sleep while our stay. First three nights near the courtyard where nightmare. People screaming, yelling, drinking and smoking till six am. (The room was very hot and... More
