Poor

Liked: location
Disliked: worst hostel i’ve stayed at. the noise level was unbearable, you can clearly hear people laughing and screaming from the next room, loud footsteps and running from the floor above, and even music from downstairs. the doors also slam shut loudly every time although we tried to close it softly, and my room was nearby to the female bathroom, so i could hear the hair dryer and hand dryer going off constantlythere were no hangers or hooks to hang your towel, so you have to leave it on your bed which is quite unhygienic. they also don’t provide any shampoo or shower gel. the room is dimly lit. overall, a very uncomfortable stay

Excellent!

Liked: The location and value for money is amazing! I definitely will recommend this hotel to everyone going to Sydney on a budget. I got the private room with shared bathroom and it was very clean and tidy, everything exceeded my expectations.
Disliked: Some of the toilet stalls have flush issues, but I'm sure it will be fixed soon.
