Disappointing

Liked: Good location in Sydney. Thankfully the staff does seem to hose down the bathrooms well each morning, they need it after the night's activities.
Disliked: The hostel offers free laundry in exchange for reviews, which I believe is artificially inflating the positive reviews. The hostel does not have enough kitchen space, and a ton of the space is taken up by employees. The kitchen was pretty dirty, and the rest of the hostel was significantly less clean than most other hostels we've been to. The guests were very loud, quiet hours are absolutely not enforced. People were drunk and vomiting in the bathroom upstairs. Thankfully we stayed in a private room, I imagine the dorms may be unpleasant. Our room smelled very damp, I think carpet is a bad choice for somewhere like this. If you are 20 and looking for a cheap place, this is probably fine. If you want at least some quiet and a clean kitchen, I would go elsewhere.

Very cool hostel

Liked: All the facilities were clean (especially the showers), very cool and friendly staff, my 8-beds room was good
Disliked: Small kitchen area, and the AC in the rooms were ON only when the lights were ON
