    Loud music during the night. The location of my room wasn't ideal being right near the intersection crossing. The bathroom door couldn't get it open even though i opened it with Goki but i eventually got it open but i had to push on the door.

    It was really close to where i was going to a gig. The room was nice the bed was comfortable. The staff were really nice and helped with any problems i had.

    The staff were not very helpful upon checking, didn’t offer towels or explain were things were or what you need to do for check out. I was in a 2 bed dorm and other person had checked out in the evening which was unnerving as I didn’t know if anyone would come in

    It was not far from Central station

    The room was incredibly noisy with street noise. Ill fitting windows. Bathroom door hit the bedside table - if I'd been a big person, I wouldn't have been able to get into the bathroom. Lifts took forever but found out as I was leaving that there were stairs I could have used.

    Staff were very nice. Aircon worked fine. Bed linen was nice and clean.

    Great location, walking distance to QVB, Westfield Sydney, trams and restaurants/cafes. Reasonable price as I'm a solo traveller. My room is quiet 🤫 and isolated from the room of backpackers. Staff was efficient 😊

    Unfortunately our rooms were right over Nomad's Nightclub and it was so very noisy up until the place shut.

    Nomads was very close to everything, and we had rooms with ensuite toilets.The staff were incredibly helpful with checkin. And their eatery is fabulous. Safe modern card entry into room.

    If you’re a solo traveler I wouldn’t recommend this place. Yes the place is clean and good enough but if your wanting to make friends and do things with people from here it’s near impossible, iv noticed they don’t have a tv room for people to connect over watching something together, no pool table that people can use to play games together, just a sitting room that plays loud music that you can’t even think over. They do “events” which iv noticed only 3-7 people go to. They have the bar next door that you can play pool at and drink but when you’re on your own you don’t want to sit in a bar on your own looking like a looser. Just that sense of community isn’t at this hostel.

    Clean places for the amount of people that can stay here. Good amount of kitchen equipment and space people that work here are very friendly

    The private room was super small and didn’t habe any window, meaning no air flow. The wall was almost coming down. Showers ok, but not really clean. Check In was ok, but not flexible timewise. The luggage storage room is a joke as none of the lockers are working.

    Relatively okish stay for a reasonable price on New Years Eve. Central location.
