I see this as a modern day take on a backpackers. We stayed in a private 4-bed (2 bunk) dorm, including a private bathroom. Everything was clean, modern and looked to be a new. There were outdoor areas, room keys were managed within an app (super easy), and staff were friendly. The location is great, about a 10 minute walk from Central or Redfern stations. There are plenty of e-bikes to hire which makes the trip back to the CBD fast and fun. Just don't confuse the private 4-bed dorm for a private queen room - you still need to BYO towel, or buy one at the reception. ##### Anna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beniamin Sep 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay ##### Beniamin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Supun Jun 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place ##### Supun Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beniamin Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel ##### Beniamin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erlend Dec 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great hostel.
