Passable
Liked: The staff is friendly and helpful and the location is perfect to enjoy Bondi Beach.
Disliked: We didn't find the description of the room and pictures online matched what we got. We kept bumping our heads on the bed because there wasn't enough space in the lounge area and the bathroom was tiny. I understand hostels need to optimise space to be efficient and offer good pricing, but this was definitely compromising the minimum levels of comfort.

As above
Liked: Whilst the property was very well located in the heart of Bondi, the photos and description were not a realistic reflection of the rooms. The “bathroom” was a toilet with a shower head above it, with no room to move let alone wash yourself. It is clear there is a reason why there are no photos of the bathrooms online. The room was not decorated as depicted in the photos online. It was very loud late at night and early into the morning so would not recommend if you aren’t one for late evenings. Lastly, the air conditioner was very loud and sounded like a washing machine also making it very hard to sleep.

Great staff and location, but...
Liked: Staff were really friendly and very helpful, there were a lot of facilities and great to be able to do laundry for cheap ($6 I think). The location was so close to Bondi beach it was ideal. The bed was pretty comfortable and the bathroom was decent but tight. Overall we enjoyed our stay but had one or two issues.
Disliked: The room was a lot smaller than how I expected it to be. The room under the bed was too small to stand up straight in. I assumed the “couch” was not under the bed but in its own space from the pictures, but the room was basically the bed, small space under it and the bathroom. The couch was also made of bean bag material. Aside from that small space issue, our window didn’t close fully, so every morning we were woken up quite early by people gathering/talking outside the front of the hostel. The cleaning staff also hoovered the halls every morning between 8-9am so if you are looking to sleep in later than that you might struggle to. The room served its purpose and for the price was great, but I probably should’ve looked into it a bit more before I booked

Perfect location and nice beds.
Liked: The location is perfect, just 10 mins from Bondi Beach. The beds were comfy and spacious with curtains.
Disliked: I think I got lucky with my room however have heard majority are very snug. Heard a few people requesting to move rooms. Due to my larger room, not requested, I would say the price is fair however any hostel near Bondi can charge a fortune because of location.

Horrible, horrendous, crap .
Liked: The door to leave .
Disliked: We didn’t stay there because the place was horrendous. One quick go to the common toilet and I could see how discussing and dirty was . I had to book a place somewhere else and leave . I think we need some compensation.
