Nice hostel, close to the City without being too close. Free breakfast is good, as is Barbeque every Friday. There's a nice relaxed mood, and easy to meet people. Good atmosphere, other than the comfrontational night manager who screams at everyone to get inside every night. If you fail to move he threatens to evict you from the hostel. In... More

My partner and I stayed here in 2012, our experience of the hostel was very mixed ( we stayed here twice, once in summer once in winter) during summer it has a great outdoor area where everyone hangs out so very sociable and good for meeting people, friendly staff and although run down we found it quite cosy and friendly....

Nice part of Sydney with easy access to Darling Harbour and The Rocks. Unfortunately I have very little complimentary to say about the hostel. The rooms were dark and dirty and the bathroom filthy. The majority of the staff were ok but could have been friendlier. However the night manager deserves a special mention for his arrogant, rude and aggressive... More

Inspite of the Hostel having a good atmosphere because of the open garden area that make it friendly enviroment. Unfortunately, this positive atmosphere is ruined by the Night Manager, called Mark, who has really bad attitude with guests because he doesn't have good peopole skills. This is the main reason that made me leave the hostel and choose a better... More

Glebe Village is generally quite a nice hostel, lovely, friendly helpful reception staff who make you feel welcome from the second you arrive. The selling point for me though is the grden area, a great place to socialise with your fellow travellers and to chill in the beautiful sunshine! One hugely negative aspect of staying in his hostel however is... More

Glebe is a cute little part of Sydney, just out of the busy center. A little arty, with cheap, nice places to get a feed of just a cup of coffee. The hostel was quite busy when we were there, but nevertheless we really liked our stay. The rooms are, for Sydney standards at least, not expensive. They have a... More

Most disgusting place I have had the misfortune of going to. After a very long flight from London, me and a friend were looking forward to finally getting some sleep. However, despite the fact I had emailed before hand to say that we would be arriving early as our flight got in in the morning, we were told that the... More

Staff wants more than they can handle. Instead of offering free breakfast and BBQ they have to start cleaning the place and take a hospitality course. To many people sleeping in the room. Highly doubt that they ever check the rooms since you have to make and your own bed. Very cheap though and good location

Worst hostel I've ever stayed at. I usually only take the time to write positive reviews but I just had to let people know about this awful place. - Very rude, unaccommodating staff - Filthy rooms and disgusting soiled mattresses - Filthy bathrooms!!! There must be at least 100 guests in this hostel and they definitely don't clean them often... More
