We stayed there only for 2 nights in June, it wasn't really busy and so we had a 4bed dorm for the two of us which was very comfy and we had lots of space. Room and bathrooms were clean but maybe because the hostel was almost empty... Bar is just downstairs and it's very loud in the evenings/nights (but... More

We turned up over Xmas from a pretty busy backpacking session which included Darwin,Alice Springs, Adelaide and Melbourne! Each place before had amazing hostels and was nothing short of a credit to Australia... Then we came here!! The staff member who checks you in is some sort of moody Polish/Russian guy who just wants your money and isn't interested in... More

We stayed over Xmas in a private room and it was Really expensive, had poor levels of cleanliness. Rubbish wifi. Dirty showers. Average service from staff, and the room was really depressing. I wouldn't wish this place on anyone.

I cannot say enough - do NOT stay in this hostel!!!! We booked in for 3 days over Christmas at an extortionate price for what we recieved. This was the only place left that we could find in Bondi over Christmas. Firstly, I was given a bed which genuinely felt like it could collapse at any second. I was on... More

I should have guested by the unenthusiastic receptionist when I first called this place that there would be problems. Upon arrival we met a 'stef' who told us we'd be staying in a shared dorm with 1 other person there.. every bunk was a mess/taken and had two guys sleeping there. We asked could we have another room only to... More

First off the "free pickup" was 2.5 hours late after I had to call 4 times. I checked in at 12pm and paid for my 6 nights that were booked. Their website said to provide 24 hours prior to any cancellation. I was shown to my "room" which I could barley stretch my arms across from wall to wall. There... More

Arrived at Bondi shores over new years, the host was very very unwelcoming, making us wait hours to check in when he clearly wasn't doing much at all. Our rooms were at best average, the kitchen was small and there was no common room or lounge. The manager kept saying he wanted no drama from us throughout our stay, but... More

I didn't expect much from the hostel, but I was expecting it to be clean and tidy. The place is a dump, not fit for humans. The bathrooms are dirty and moldy, locks broken in the toilets. The rooms are dirty and the electrics look very dodgie, the fridge in the room is covered in dirt and the back is... More
