"Family run with a family feel!
Reviewer: Jamie_yu76 (jamie_yu76@hotmail.com) from Liverpool, England. September 24, 2004
This hostel is the bomb if you want somewhere long term and to feel like you are one of the family. Christina and Andrew, the owners, are incredibly friendly and make sure that all their guests are looked after. If you need work Andrew will always be willing to help out. The nightshift crew Chris and Dave (Silvertongue) — you two are the best fellows. Cheers. Not forgetting all the regulars — Jazz, Martin,...

They arrange great days and nights out, always fueled by a hell of a lot of booze! And God bless the Red Lion across the road for its Thursday karaoke. The two coaches up on the front of the stage are from the hostel! Go Marco!

"I stayed there about two and a half months and it was the best hostel I stayed at in Sydney. I stayed on the girls-only floor and they give you Aveda shampoo and a nice fluffy towel when you arrive. The rooms are super clean and I always had strong hot showers that never ran out of hot water no matter how long I took a shower. It's very quiet and I made some of the best friends ever. The location is great -- just a short walk to the harbour, the aquarium, pubs (The Three Monkeys is a great pub). The staff are really friendly and very...

"I've been twice to Glebe Village, December 2003 and April 2004, and enjoyed it a lot. I think I stayed in total more than one month in the hostel. That had to do with buying and selling our car (Oraatje); actually that was a good excuse to stay for some days in Glebe Village. From the pancake-breakfast (on the weekends) to the quiz one Sunday I all found it awesome. But especially the late night conversations are things to remember. This week we've had a reunion in Amsterdam with people we met during those days in Sydney. I think that shows...
