They work hard to keep the place clean. However, some guests were not very respectful in the shared areas (dirty dishes on the counter for hours, very loud music, toilet paper everywhere in the shared bathrooms). The bed was very confortable and I was glad to have access to a big locker. The hostel is perfectly situated to easily go everywhere on foot or by bus/tram/train. I would highly recommend this place to solo travellers. ##### Josyane Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan P Sep 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Orderly & quiet location, centrally located.

Age range higher than usual for backpackers, so not rowdy. Lots of books, board games, guitars(!) available for self entertainment.

Didn’t use the kitchen but it looked crowded and dirty. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sir Stamford At Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sir-Stamford-At-Circular-Quay.h26464.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Australia Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Tank-Stream.h11718621.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Sussex Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Sussex-Street.h25019183.Hotel-Information) > > [PARKROYAL Darling Harbour, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-PARKROYAL-Darling-Harbour.h22576.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Sydney Wentworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sofitel-Sydney-Wentworth.h426577.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Sydney-Hyde-Park.h4807.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sydney Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sydney-Airport.h38420088.Hotel-Information) > > [SKYE Suites Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-SKYE-Suites-Sydney.h24507540.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa.h1151641.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Sydney Coogee Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-InterContinental-Sydney-Coogee-Beach-By-IHG.h1747.Hotel-Information) > > [YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-YEHS-Hotel-Sydney-Harbour-Suites.h426104.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Airport-Hotel.h5932305.Hotel-Information) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [Niagara Fallsview Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Niagara-Hotel-Suites-Fallsview.h201272.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Riviera Paradise All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Ocean-Riviera-Paradise-All-Inclusive.h15099903.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Harbour.h16764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Sydney.h15886.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Shangri-La-Sydney.h11974.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Grace-Hotel.h460380.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Harbour-Marriott-Hotel-At-Circular-Quay.h18811.Hotel-Information) > > [Little National Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Little-National-Hotel-Sydney.h54032015.Hotel-Information) > > [Meriton Suites Kent Street, Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Meriton-Suites-Kent-Street.h19290784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hilton-Sydney.h16892.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Jamaica-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d88-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Avianca](https://www.expedia.ca/Avianca-Flights.cAV.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxx/calgary-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/nrt/edmonton-to-tokyo) ### Activities > [Things to do in St. Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-St-Lucia.d168.Travel-Guide-Activities)
