This hostel is in a quiet area with good sized rooms and good clean showers. It's a converted house so nice and cozy! There's a lounge with Sky, a small but well-equipped kitchen and a small patio area outside with a BBQ.
Manly is a really nice area with lots of backpackers and a lovely beach.
This hostel is a good place to stay if you're looking for work but you'll have to make an effort to make friends if you're just travelling and not staying long. When I stayed here most of the other people were on working visas and had been there for quite a while so there wasn't such a friendly atmosphere towards newcomers. But otherwise it's a really nice hostel.
