Sydney

Awful place, staying there was a nightmare I wouldn't wish for my worst enemy. The owner is rude and violent, the rooms are disgusting and the kitchen is a joke. Even the worst hotel I've been in India was cleaner than that place

Worst accomodation I've ever been

Do not stay here unless you are desperate. 

Revolting cupboards, questionable showers, dead bugs, small with misleading pictures. 
Over priced for what I paid. I have slept on a kitchen floor before and wish I had again rather than staying in this place. 
Most disgusting of all, IT HAS BEDBUGS!!!! 
I slept on the mattress with only a sheet from the cupboard draped over my legs as it was hot. Heaven help me if I had used all the bedding.

Don't stay.

Was a clean tidy room? Though replies to questions asked were not received until after booking and payment.

Nice place if you don't mind shared accommodation. And leaving your room unlocked, after I paid key deposit.

Clean,though not prompt in replying.

Unfortunately, this hostel has no acceptable minimum standards. Although we have been in different backpacks and knowing how to settle without too much comfort, this place is extremely dirty and with a bad smell (both smoke and food) that accentuates in the bedroom. It is very hot, even with the two malfunctioning fans, there is no air circulating.

Dirty

Pros
* The staff were friendly.
* The location was great for sporting events. 
* Quick signing out.

Cons
* The credit card fee was 3%, which should come to $9.60 (for my $320 for two nights). However, I was charged $330 in total. 
* There was no free Wi-Fi in my room.
* There was no kitchenette in the room. We could take cutlery and white ware to our rooms from the communal kitchen.
* No coffee or tea provided, only a kettle.
* No soap (or shampoo or conditioner provided), but no soap!!
* The room was like a hot tin box, with only a ceiling fan, during February. 
* There was no wardrobe, only a wire trolley thing with shelves.
* The sheets and pillow was off colour.
* The room smelled dank and was dirty. Not sure if it had been cleaned for a while or given a good airing. 
* Some blind slats were broken, but the communal rooftop garden was outside, so couldn't open the blinds fully anyway for privacy.
* The main light was dim, and I turned on the night lamp with two heads; neither bulb worked. Had to get a bulb and fix it myself and the night lamp was dirty and dusty.  
* My room was not on the emergency plan.
* No remote for the television.

Over-priced converted home; maximum profit, for minimum effort.

We booked into an ensuite twin room- it was much smaller than the room shown on the website.  We had bunks, as advertised, but with barely any space around them .  There was an electric jug and a fridge, but nothing else- no mugs or cutlery.  There was a ceiling fan which lazily turned and a solitary window with a broken wooden slat blind and no fly screen- opening onto a communal smoking/ washing line space- the washing line was actually attached to a board nailed across the only window in our room.  For $160 it was pitiful.  We were lucky that it was not a hot night, otherwise it might have been too hot to sleep. To get to the room, one had to go up some old steep stairs with shallow treads.  The good part?  The mattresses were a decent quality foam mattress, so reasonably comfortable.  The room was clean, though meagre and old.  The staff were very pleasant.  The fitted sheets on the bunks were clean. It felt safe. The location was good, and our fellow residents were quiet.  But for $160, we expected a bit more.  There was barely room to move.  It was old and very tired.  It did not look like the ad on the website.

Not as advertised

We arrived at the hotel at 5:00 p.m. and there was no one there, we waited until 7:00 p.m. to get the room. A sordid, very sparse, dirty room, and I think the sheets had not been changed (fried, hair on the pillow, etc.) This youth hostel should never be sold as a hotel!

Get out of here!

This accommodation, which looks more like a guest house, is in an excellent location in Sydney. 10 minutes' walk from the central station. Surry Hill is very busy, especially in the evening, with many restaurants. A supermarket right next door to the house to shop and cook yourself in the house. The bathrooms, kitchen... are very clean. Breakfast not very varied, but plentiful, and good: fruit juice, hot drink, cereal, cookies, toast with butter and jam. I highly recommend it!
