Summary: Depends on the staff, some are nicer than others. Someone randomly took off my clothes from the dryer when it’s not done so when I got my clothes it’s all damp. Staff partied harder than guests. They were on the tables dancing and yelling in the common room/kitchen.

Summary: Wake Up! Sydney owned by the Millet family, is conveniently located near Central station. All rooms including the private rooms, the dorms, and the bathrooms, are immaculately clean. Impressive considering there are over 500 beds in this place. The kitchen on the 1st floor is clean and modern with new electric hobs. 2 convection ovens and microwaves. Big shoutout to Nora, India and Pearse who always make me feel welcome when I stay. A high quality and recommended hostel. (There is also a Wake Up! at Bondi beach).

Summary: Such a lovely hostel, the first one I stayed in when I arrived in Australia and the last one I stayed in before I left. Definitely my favourite out of them all. Can’t fault it at all! Very clean bathrooms and bedrooms. I did shared rooms and a private room and both were fab!

Summary: I had a private room with the shared bathroom, it was small but clean and surprisingly quiet, so it was perfect for what I wanted.

Summary: The location is unbeatable—right next to Central Station. Both the beds and the shared bathrooms are very clean, and the hostel even offers a free walking city tour. The kitchen is spacious, well-managed, and perfect for cooking your own meals. I would definitely choose to stay here again the next time I visit Sydney.
