It looks much nicer on the pics on internet, the rooms are really dirty, as well as the toilets! i wouldnt come again.

All I can say is that they forgot to give us a blanket then didn't have enough to give out, all they could say was 'oh it's not that cold' (fall rainy weather). Awoken to a huge roach Flying over our bed... Not the best experience.

It's a great place to stay, it's just a 15 min. walk from the city and close to Kingscross! The free breakfast was really good - if u like cereals =)The only bad thing was that I waited 2 hrs for the shuttle bus at the aiport and it never showed up! The cleanliness in the bathrooms and rooms is ok! The staff was very helpful but one guy at the reception is not enough for such a big hostel! There was always a huge line with people checking in and out! But overall, I had a great time!

Overall a great experience. A walk's distance to King's Cross, the Opera House, etc (a good walk, but a walk nonetheless). They will pick you up from the airport if you stay 3+ nights, but they do NOT provide a free shuttle back to the airport. Just wanted to share because I felt that should have been stated more clearly.
