We loved the upper patio for a beautiful location day and nite. We lived the historical aspect of this property and the nearby archeological dig ongoing. We lived the handiness of the laundry and walk to the city ferry depot. Fantastic to say the least!

The morning buffet was very poor, kept clean but limited items on it. The place was great and easy for walking down the steps to the rocks. The upper bar on the roof was with a beautiful view of the opera house , harper bridge.

great location. Great people. Super friendly staff kudos to Oscar at the rooftop bar. I think since it’s a hostel. Best to inform other tenants to ensure that they are not making loud noises late at night. Other than that all is great

Clean and budget friendly place to stay!

We had a great stay! The private room we had was simple but clean. Perfect for our family of 3 to stay in comfortably. The open shared kitchen and dining area were clean and nice to utilize. The roof top view of the harbour was amazing! The location was super convenient and easy to walk to access public transportation and popular sites to see. We felt very safe in the area as well. Staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely would book again if we get the chance to return to Sydney!
