Liked: The room was clean with a private bathroom and the location is perfect, within walking distance to everything and right next to Central Station.
Disliked: It's a hostel, so expect it to be filled with young backpackers. It's great value for money for a short stay in Sydney.

Simple Hostel but very friendly...

Liked: the staff was very friendly and engaged, big kitchen
Disliked: the rooms are not so comfortable or cosy, also the bathroom was not super clean and everything is quiet old but for one or two nights it is okay.

Simple but nice :)

Liked: Nothing fancy, it was great stay, just what I need for an overnight stay, a room with a bed and private bathroom. It was surprisingly quite for a backpacker hostel, it exceed my expectation. Convenient location, about 10-15minutes walk to Central station (as I am a slow walker). I wouldn't mind to stay here (by myself) again if I need to stay overnight in the city.
Disliked: It's good enough for the amount of money I paid.
