Kitchen and dining room.far too small. Not enough fridge space for the number of people. Lift very slow to respond. Cleaning in the toilets and showers was done at getting up time, judf when people are all likely to want to use them.

Great friendly staff. Lovely old building. Private room was a good size, though no option for en suite we never had an issue getting a shower or using the loo when we wanted too. Unfortunately the kitchen and dining room were far too small for the number of people using them though. Good to he given a cool bag to keep stuff separate in the fridge. Great location for Botanic Gardens and a nice walk to the harbour and Circular Quay.

There was no air conditioning in the rooms so they got quite warm at night times

The property was nice and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, with privacy curtains. It was in a good location, easy to get to nearby attractions. The showers and bathrooms were clean

Best hostel in Sydney

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing really, booked up so I couldn’t stay and had to book another one?

So social, safe, clean, and not that primitive. Best hostel I’ve stayed at yet, and I’ve been to a lot.

great public areas and vibe all round.

Excellent breakfast and Kitchen facilities

I personally didn’t love the location, at least 10 min from any bus/train stops and all uphill walk.

Nice hostel, great kitchen area and free breakfast

Maybe laundry is a little expensive with 12$

I haven’t seen a hostel like the pacific house yet. The rooms are clean, beds have curtains, own lights and lots of plugs everywhere. Breakfast offers a variety of different food, even gluten-free. You have a lot of space to store your belongings. There are events every day and especially the Cogge to Bondi walk and the wine and chees eve are great. The stuff is always welcoming and nice. You have the roomkey on your phone, so you don’t have to take a keycard with you. The kitchen is ordered and really clean. Bathrooms are modern with huge rainfall showers and separate Toilettes. So there’s privacy everywhere but you also have chance to get in contact with the other travelers.

The hostel doesn't provide towels, which can be a bit of a pain if, like me, you want to travel as light as possible. Also, the bedside socket is only a standard USB (so make sure you have one), and even then the connection can be a bit unreliable.

PH is an excellent place to stay for backpackers travelling along Australia's East Coast. The place has a welcoming, communal vibe, helped by the friendliness of the staff, and loads of great facilities and amenities (kitchen, lounge room, study room, etc.) The showers/bathrooms in particular are fantastic: well-designed, spacious and clean, and even though there are only six on each floor (3 men's, 3 women's), I never had to wait for one. The beds are comfy, a really good size and have great privacy curtains. The lockers are also really spacious and secure. The location is also very good, only a 5/10 mins walk from the city centre and a 10/15 mins walk to the Opera House. The bus to Bondi Beach is also only about 10/15 mins in the other direction. Definitely a super place to stay for solo or group travellers

...

It was one of the best places I stayed in. Located in walking distance from trains, main attractions, city centre.... Staff is super friendly and very clean. Lit of interactions with guests, so if you are travelling solo for a first time perfect way to make you feel good and happy,

Staff is nice and helpful. bathrooms are clean and common spaces are too. Breakfast is always a good thing

The refrigerator in the kitchen is disorganized and cluttered. There is a need for better organization. Additionally, the beds in the rooms lack numbering, which could result in your bed being cleared even if you haven't checked out yet. Furthermore, the workspace is cramped and becomes crowded very quickly. An outdoor area would be much appreciated.

Amazing hostel next to a tranquil area and close to the heart of Woolloomooloo, one of the most peaceful areas in Sydney. Warm and kind staff, always willing to help and build a friendly connection beyond client-customer. Comfy beds, spacious rooms and common areas always impeccable.

The heat is hard to bear in the summer months.

Convenient, clean and responsible use of facilities.

Very clean, cool building, nice people

The toilets and shower rooms are not clean and always humid.

Friendly staff, you can also find a study room and a balcony in the hostel.

The kitchen was large but very quickly overloaded at peak times, with half the hotplates usable with the width of the pans. Breakfast was good, with several choices of cereals, normal or vegetable milk, several choices of sandwich bread and jam, Nutella, peanut butter, but it’s miss fruit juice and simply fruit. Powdered coffee and tea were available, but a jar of powdered chocolate would be nice. Apart from these small details, my stay went very well and I'd definitely recommend the Pacific in the future.

Very good location and a very attentive and super nice staff!!!! The parts of hostel are cleaned every day so it's very clean. Many activities and different areas to relax! The rooms are good, with many storage space. The beds are comfortable and the curtains allow a certain privacy.

- the bathrooms need to be cleaned more - the kitchen and eating space is too small for that many guests

-Curtains, usb plugs and small light at the beds -very good location - i was able to switch rooms when I asked for it

Stayed in February 2024

The air con wasn’t on except for the tv room, and it was on average 32° daily and the window only does so much. So it was very hard and uncomfortable to sleep at night

I loved that it was very homey, I loved the free breakfast as well. The bathrooms and showers were just about always super clean.

Stayed in February 2024

The bedside USB ports do a terrible job of charging. Also, aircon would've made the hostel 10/10

Amazing location! Easy to get to from airport, walking distance to so much in Sydney. 24/7 staffed reception is super hand. Free brekky another plus
