Cool and tidy place to live in
I stayed in a double room for a couple of weeks and felt no less than being at home.

Clean, comfortable, cheap, and friendly manager
I've been in the dorm for ten days and had a great time. Rooms are comfortable and clean and so is the bathroom. You can use the kitchen (provided with basics for cooking -- salt, oil) and free internet. Peaceful and quiet, close to the park, the market, and to Central Station. The manager is extremely friendly.

Best accommodation in Australia
The hostel has only twelve rooms and is is newly remodeled. The interior is warm and cozy with vaulted ceilings and spacious bathrooms. The amenities include a full kitchen, on-site laundry facilities, and free internet access. The hostel is close to neighborhood cafes, Central Train Station, the Australian Museum, and excellent nightlife. It is two blocks away from a heated indoor Olympic-size pool and spa. Nearby Sydney Fish Market has fresh fish daily with lobster, oysters, sushi, and sashimi for the lowest cost anywhere. I have stayed here several times in the shared room and private en-suites, I found them to be quiet and very comfortable, this is the best accommodation in Australia.

Four-bed dorm
We have stayed in the hostel in the four-bed dorm. The beds and the room are excellent and clean. The manager was extremely friendly. The location was very convenient. The bathrooms were clean. We had a good time.

We stayed in a double en suite room. On the plus side it was quiet, and the hostel did have free internet — but the owner takes the computer cable with him when he leaves, so you can only use it when he is present. It was really dirty. They did have coffee and tea in the kitchen but everything (the kettle, the mugs) was crusted with old food. I never saw any free breakfast, however judging from the rest of the place I wouldn't have eaten it anyway. It is above a Thai restaurant so the downstairs is very smelly. I would recommend staying elsewhere if you have a choice.

This place is terrible. The whole hostel just has one staff (owner). No service at all. You have to clean the toilet yourself. And the place is very noisy at night. It is hard to fall sleep.

This place have great facilities, the beds are great and there is a kitchen and clean facilities. It has a great location near everything in the city and near public transport. It also is small giving a good atmosphere. I would definitely recommend as it has good prices to.
