    Walking around. The hills in the area are steep. Taxi the best way to avoid them.

    Location. The accommodation was near the terminal for the cruise. Also close to a mini supermarket.

    Nothing to do with the property, but there were huge cruise ships stationed at circular quay most days when we stayed, so the view from the room is kind of spoiled.

    The fantastic view of the opera house and Harbour bridge from the terrace The perfect location in my favorite area, The Rocks.

    The bunk bed was not were sturdy and would shake and/or sway when you turned around in it.

    Nice room and cummunal kitchen, big lockers. I liked that there was a small shelf and power outled by the bed. Glad that there was an extra toilet and shower in the hallway. Great location. I asked if I could get a bottom bunk, which they reserved for me for which I am very greatful.

    I would have loved to have curtains on the beds. But apart from that the rooms are very spacious and the best weren't too close to eachother.

    I loved the fact that this accommodation has such a big kitchen, there were like 4/5 stoves and sinks. So a lot of people can cook at the same time. Also view on the rooftop was amazing!!! You can see the CBD, Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Amazing sunrises!

    Fantastic stay in a fab hostel

    Only one lift- but this is a minor gripe as the stairs worked just fine! Also I tried the online check- in at the kiosks but it was a really long winded process so ended up going to the desk anyway.

    A great 'hostel'. Much more like a hotel except for having to do your own washing up! Continental breakfast was nice- fairly basic (cereals, toast, croissants, yogurt, fruit etc) but plenty of it. Our room was great- nice space for our teenage kids who appreciated having their own curtained off space on their bed. The roof terrace was also fab, drinks good value for money but the view of the opera house was often restricted by a cruise ship. The location was great- walking distance of the harbour and just 300m from the Bridgeclimb.

    It has to be the least social hostel I have stayed in. Due to their being a variety of solo, groups, school trips and families it is hard to mix. That is my only negative about this place.

    It was the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. The rooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms and roof top were always so clean. The staff were lovely too. It has all you could need and amazing price for the perfect location.

    The steps to the top bunk were painful.

    The rooms were cleaned regularly, the lockers were massive - fit a 23kg suitcase in it. Location was handy - walkable distance to a lot of things. The rooftop bar was AMAZING. That veiw with such affordable accommodation was unexpected. First time in a youth hostel wasn't sure what to expect, but very pleasantly surprised
