Sydney Hostels

"Prós: 1. Muito barato para um quarto com banheiro privativo, e ainda muito mais barato para dormitório. 2. Calmo e quente 3. Depósito de bagagem gratuito no dia da chegada e check-out. 4. Perto da estação central e Haymarket. Tráfego conveniente, fácil acesso a restaurantes baratos e supermercados. 5. Cozinha de uso gratuito onde você pode preparar suas próprias refeições 6. Equipe prestativa Contras: 1. O quarto está um pouco empoeirado (não o banheiro). 2. Você mesmo deve preparar todas as necessidades diárias, o hotel é mais um dormitório do que um hotel (aceitável por um preço tão baixo). 3. A equipe está de folga das 22h00 às 9h00 do dia seguinte, portanto você estará por sua conta caso precise de assistência."

"The hotel is clean, the rooms and bathrooms are spotless, and the air conditioning works well. There are many guests, but it still feels private. Overall, it’s very good."

"A equipe é ótima, nada a dizer sobre o lugar em si. No entanto, se você quer ser julgado, vá para lá. Já me hospedei em muitos hostels na Ásia e o clima aqui era diferente. É como High School Musical, com um grupo de garotas que te julgam e te acolhem ao mesmo tempo... (sim, eu falei a língua de vocês, meninas) e uma energia onde os mais velhos mandam. Fiquei muito decepcionada com a atmosfera de High School Musical, não era o clima de viagem que gostamos. Muitos grupinhos e julgamentos."

"I’ve stayed in many hostels before and understand you sometimes get what you pay for, but my stay at Wake Up! Sydney Central was disappointing. We booked a private room for three with a shared bathroom. The room had a strong “slept-in” smell which seemed to come from the actual pillows and bedding rather than the sheets. The shared bathrooms were also quite dirty, and during our five-day stay I only saw them cleaned once. The kitchen on the first floor is far too small for the number of guests. Fridges and cupboards were completely full, and with only a few cooktops, sinks and microwaves it’s very difficult to cook or find a place to eat. The hostel is very focused on partying, with events like pizza nights and free drinks in the kitchen area. It’s also quite noisy, with partying and heavy doors slamming day and night, so don’t expect much sleep. Considering how expensive Sydney is, this place still felt overpriced. The building is run down (cracked sinks), beds have thin mattresses, and we even saw a large cockroach one day. Staff simply said, “this is Australia.” There’s also no ramp at the entrance, so heavy luggage has to be carried up the stairs. The only real positive is the great location."

"The neighborhood is lively, buses are almost never needed, it's very close to the beach, the staff are friendly, and the rooms are very clean. I really liked it."

"• room: overall clean and equipped with fridge and microwave which was very convenient. My room was facing the side of a kindergarten so in the morning after 7.30 it was pretty noisy and during the day also • amenities: there is a well equipped kitchen, a little small for all guests but it is just about planning when to use it, there is a nice garden and books and games available in the living room • location: 10 min walk to the beach, 20 min walk to the supermarket and overall it is in a nice quier neighbourhood • staff: friendly and supportive my background: I travel 320 days a year since 8 years staying in all range of accomodation from hostel to 5star. I just review objectively what I see with no judgement"

"I like the place in general. Location is good, check-in and check-out are easy. It is near to public transportation, from Convention station like 5 min walking. I stayed in the only female room, and it was very quiet at night, so I had a good sleep. The nice thing for me is breakfast and dinner. Luggage storage is also possible, so all was good."

"O Sydney Central YHA foi uma excelente escolha para minha viagem solo de mochilão por Sydney, depois de Melbourne. Bem ao lado da Estação Central e do VLT, é imbatível para pegar trens para o aeroporto, fazer viagens rápidas para a Ópera de Sydney, a Praia de Bondi ou comer em Chinatown — perfeito para um estudante viajando. Os quartos privativos (ou dormitórios com cortinas para privacidade) eram limpos, confortáveis, com tomadas em cada cama e armários seguros (leve cadeado). A piscina na cobertura oferecia vista para a cidade, perfeita para nadar à noite, além de uma cozinha enorme, sala de cinema e churrascos para confraternização — um ambiente ótimo e tranquilo. A equipe simpática deu dicas excelentes; pequenos inconvenientes, como filas ocasionais no banheiro ou barulho da rua, não atrapalharam a experiência. Ótimo custo-benefício por cerca de 40 dólares por noite — 9,5/10, voltarei com certeza!"

"I appreciated that the staff were friendly and the bedsheets and toilets were clean. However, there is a relative lack of amenities and comfort, which is reflected in the lower price of this hostel compared to others. Each floor had two toilets and two showers, but 1 of the toilets on my floor was spoilt. There is only 1 elevator for the whole building meaning that sometimes I had to wait fairly long to go up / down. The only charging ports were in the lockers, which made it inconvenient to use my phone. Don’t get me wrong, this hostel does do the basics unapologetically, but if you have budget I’d recommend paying more for a better hostels."

"Good place, staff members are friendly and nice"
