I stayed in a 2 bed dorm. I was lucky to share the room with a nice person during my stay. The staff were lovely and the room had a large window with view to the park. The bed was very comfy, but if I were a very tall person, maybe the bed would have been a little small. The location is really good, with Newtown a short walk away.

The location is great. About 5 minutes walk from Stanmore train station. There is also a small IGA supermarket near the station too. The building is a old with signs of wear and tear, but it is clean and has a nice homey feel. The lady on the front desk is chatty and friendly. There are two sections, the upstairs rooms and the downstairs rooms. Both have their own bathrooms. The kitchen and outdoor area is in the downstairs section. It was pretty quiet when I was there. On street parking was easy to find as I arrived in the afternoon on a weekday. It might be a bit more difficult on weekends, but not impossible.

We are repeat guests and always choose this beautiful spot for our stays in Sydney. Very homely and welcoming, but also very private. Friendly, and surrounded by good local venues and shops, in a quiet and picturesque neighbourhood. Handy to supermarket, Cafe, chemist, bottle shop, convenience shop, and takeaway food joint. Quick train or cheap uber to the city, plenty of on street parking. Love the back verandah and cute plants. Other guests were lovely, friendly and considerate too. Amazing chill vibe every time, shared bathrooms are self contained and spotless. Love the sink and fridge in rooms to keep personal water bottles cool. Cathy is so nice, personable and efficient (other staff we've met are lovely too!).

All the staff were AMAZING. Thankyou tto Cathy and the staff for helping with my lost phone and keys from a crazy night out 😂 Will definitely be back! Great quiet spot ( in between the planes which were unnoticed soon enough) with a lovely little walk to train station, iga, chemist, takeaway. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean ( I have a cleaning business, so it is hard to impress me) Quiet during the day and night, parking in the block and 2 small parks nearby. Fantastic for singles, couples, families! Outdoor alfresco eating area and entry areas are filled with plants for a lovely experience for the price!

It's incredibly cheap compared to most other places in Sydney, especially when it's in such a great location (close to Stanmore which is a direct and short train line to the city, and walking distance to the center of Newtown). Parking free and unlimited on the street was a pleasant surprise, didn't find it hard to get a spot. The room was nice and facilities too. Would recommend.

Super close proximity to our event, we were attending a show at the enmore theatre. Parking on the street was very simple, and the staff were so incredibly friendly, walking us through everything. Other guests at the hostel were also lovely, it felt like such a safe environment, especially as three young women.

I was checked in early which was wonderful after having flown for 15 hours. Cathy at the reception was very kind and helpful. The place itself was very well located - justa few minutes walk to the train station. Community bathrooms were a little dated and the room a bit hot, since there was no A/C. Still a very good value. Would stay there again.

The location is great, very close to the Stanmore train station and a few minutes walk to Enmore road with loads of cafes, bars, restaurants. The kitchen was huge and had everything you'd need to cook. There was a nice area to sit above the kitchen with nice plants and a view of the city. The sink and fridge in our room was really handy. Cathy on the reception desk was really friendly and let us check in early.

I came in very early before my check-in time because I had an early flight. Waited for the reception to open and Cathy showed me around. Oh Cathy made me feel welcomed and she even gave me laundry coins when I didn't have spare.
