Positive: I locked myself out during the middle of the night and had no idea what to do! I needed somewhere to stay just for a few hours until work opened as I’d left my house keys there by accident and couldn’t get inside 😅🤣🤣 I wouldn’t normally consider staying at a back packers in my own country but had done recently due to attempting to a domestic incident with a roommate (needed out straight away with no plan, too ego bruises to ask for help) so I figured why not stay at a backpackers for the night. It was ok! I wouldn’t consider this personally if I was on holiday but I don’t like that type of travel. The place is your stereotypical backpackers. It seems to attract a young, clean clientele and they have lots of great resources/events for youth. It’s a youth hostel :) I was happy I had somewhere to stay until morning!

Negative: It’s a back packers…. Loud, no privacy, a bit old and delapitated. If you are backpacking then this is a safe, fun spot to base yourself!

Summary: Helped me out at a really rediculous time of the morning after leaving my house key at work. Greatful!

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Basic breakfast, close to public transportation, not far from the main attractions of Sydney, huge fridge, plenty storage in room (big locker and big storage box), baggage storage before and after check-in/check-out.

Negative: No plugs near each bed. They give you a set of dishes at check-in, which I found impractical since you have to carry around the dishes to the kitchen every time you want to eat. This also makes the rooms have dishes everywhere.

Summary: Ok in general.
