Best stay in Sydney Stayed there for three months from April 2007. Very sociable, staff were ever so friendly. They will try to meet your needs if you tell them what you want. Ideal for the working traveler who wants to relax during the week after work and have fun at the weekend! Also good take outs right out the door. 5 dollar thai! Always good for the person who cant be bothered to cook.

Worst Stay of my Life Not only are the pictures and information related to the Rooftop Lodge false, it was much worse than could be imagined. There was mold infesting the entire room and bathroom and their way of fixing the problem was to paint over it. Also we had an incident of bed bugs which as anyone can imagine was the worst possible experience ever. On top of that I have been sick for the past three weeks since I left the lodge due to the awful state the facility was in. You will be upset if you stay there and I would avoid this place at all costs.

Was there July 2006. The best hostel I've ever stayed in. Recently converted from a motel -- the fixtures, fittings, and facilities looked brand new and were excellent. Was very clean and the staff were friendly and talkative. TV/DVD/Computer with Internet in the rooms (four-person dorm rooms anyway), free laundry and dryers -- you don't get much better and at what a price.
