Great location. Good value for money. ##### Nathan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nathan Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Decent budget accommodation right on the Manly strip. Private room was reasonably large and comfy. However, it's an old building with poor soundproofing, so a fair bit of noise through the night. ##### Nathan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 13, 2025 #### Soggy bathroom Typical hostel grime. Bathroom was just always wet, and wasn’t cleaned once over the two night stay. Staff was lovely and always helpful and friendly. The location is hard to beat. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shelli Jan 13, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize. ##### Shelli Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brooke Sep 4, 2023 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Pros: Really good location and easy to use public transport around. Lots of good options for food. Very close to lots of cute beaches and walks. Cons: If you're a light sleeper do not recommend as its right near a pub that's noisy AF on the weekends. Markets on Saturday/Sunday start early too so can't really sleep past 7am. Strong local only bad vibes from longtermers. Messy shared kitchen space during breakfast that no-one cleaned as they used it. ##### Brooke Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi Jan 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved the location had everything I needed and staff very helpful ##### Jodi Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Lady at check in was very friendly & helpful ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bob Nov 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was just great thank you. ##### Bob Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Merv Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good value for money ##### Merv Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mano May 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities great price, double with shower toilet a must ##### Mano Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merv Aug 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities GRRREAT value for money ##### Merv Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merv Feb 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great people ##### Merv Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher Oct 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Manly, Guest's need help. The Elevator needs to be fixed, Otherwise a wonderful stay, the guests were wonderful. I think some would like the different embassy's to help them get home. I can't wait to stay again soon. ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Miles Oct 9, 2022 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Close to bars ##### Miles Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Carl Mar 30, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life. ##### Carl Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Delan Nov 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff are friendly and happy which is nice. Reasonable for what it is. Definitely noisy though. Haha ##### Delan ### 2/10 Terrible #### Crystal Dec 9, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was horrible ##### Crystal Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 6, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Great location, needs a deep clean This is a great base in Manly, the Corso facing rooms have some noise at night and the street cleaning machines start about 5.30 but earplugs should see to that. The kitchen and communal areas need a deep clean, the room was tired and dusty, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. You get what you pay for and by the amount of long-term guests it appears there are work opportunities. The free breakfast- cereal, toast, tea+coffee was welcome. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Giuliana Nov 3, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Its very run down and needs up dating and thhe bath rooms were dirty and smelt.horrible ##### Giuliana ### 2/10 Terrible #### Josephine Jan 27, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Im going to report it to the dept of Health its disgusting. No need for filth like that, no ventilation, soap or hand towels. The showers havent been cleaned in years (or anything else) it stank ##### Josephine Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Sydney Potts Point by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Potts-Point-Sydney.h26479.Hotel-Information) > > [City Budget Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Crecy-Hotel.h4478538.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Sydney Potts Point by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Sydney-Potts-Point.h1680063.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Darling Square Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Suites-Sydney.h163097.Hotel-Information) > > [Town & Country Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Town-Country-Motel.h184748.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Sydney North Ryde Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Oaks-Sydney-North-Ryde-Suites.h967120.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles Sydney Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-Sydney.h564419.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Sydney Hyde Park Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Oaks-Sydney-Hyde-Park-Suites.h570495.Hotel-Information) > > [The Baxley Bondi](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Baxley-Bondi.h25874242.Hotel-Information) > > [175 Hotel Westmead ](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-175-One-Hotels-And-Apartments.h894545.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Sydney Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Sydney-Central.h525280.Hotel-Information) > > [Quest Chatswood](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Quest-Chatswood.h12413574.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Sydney International Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Novotel-Sydney-International-Airport-Hotel.h16913.Hotel-Information) > > [Ingenia Holidays Avina](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Ingenia-Holidays-Avina.h9624567.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h36133388.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightcap at Pritchards Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Pritchards-Hotel.h8700488.Hotel-Information) > > [The York by Swiss-Belhotel International](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-York-By-Swiss-Belhotel-International.h460476.Hotel-Information) > > [Southend Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Southend-Hotel.h9626085.Hotel-Information) > > [Zara Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Zara-Tower-Luxury-Suites-And-Apartments.h6419325.Hotel-Information) > > [Nightcap at Fairfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Nightcap-At-Fairfield.h8700557.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Camperdown](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Rydges-Camperdown.h24382.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capsule Hotel - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Capsule-Hotel-Hostel.h18555921.Hotel-Information) > > [Darlo Bar Darlinghurst](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Darlo-Bar-Darlinghurst.h12350973.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Morris Sydney - Handwritten Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-The-Morris-Hotel-Sydney.h1738408.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Sydney, Central Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Sydney.h24101534.Hotel-Information) > > [Sydney Central Hotel managed by The Ascott Limited](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Sydney-Central-Hotel-Managed-By-The-Ascott-Limited.h564406.Hotel-Information) > > [Adina Apartment Hotel Sydney Chippendale](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-Sydney-Chippendale.h877083.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Rest Parramatta Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Urban-Rest-Parramatta-Apartments.h102070214.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiger Hostel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Tiger-Hostel-Sydney.h9624434.Hotel-Information)
