The spot’s great, just across from Bondi beach, but the bathroom started clean and then I spotted cockroaches—one dead one sat in the hallway for more than a day, clearly the cleaners missed it. The hostel itself looks worn down with peeling stairs, dusty carpets, and moldy beds; the photos on the site are probably old. The narrow, steep English‑style staircases made hauling a suitcase nearly impossible—only a backpack would fit—yet the staff offered no help. A big construction project was underway in one wing, yet no heads‑up or discount was given. I booked a non‑smoking private room that turned out overpriced and stank of old smoke plus damp/mold; the door lock was broken, and toenail marks from the previous guest’s carpet were visible. The Wi‑Fi kept dropping, and the hostel was noisy: every passerby and hallway call echoed through thin walls. I was disappointed, especially after high expectations from the location and past reviews; if you’re just looking for a hostel in Sydney, YHA Sydney Harbour is a better pick.
