Sydney

Before reading other reviews you have to remember that you are not paying for luxury. 

I booked a double bed room and it came with an en-suite. There is enough room to move around with ease as well as a massive fan which definatly keeps me cool at night. 

If you have a pc there is a desk as well as an Ethernet port to plug in directly to the internet. The internet at the time of 22:36 on January the 6th has an download of 8.04 MB/S and an upload of 10.8 MB/S and a PING of 2ms. So in my opinion a winner winner chicken dinner internet speed. 

The room design wise is not a modern room so dont expect your booking a five star hotel. The En suit is very roomy which is nice for such a cheap place. 

There is a court yard to relax in which is beautiful during the day. There is a tv room with sky and a mini kitchen with a microwave as well as a laundry room which is very cheap at only 2 dollars a wash. 

PRICE 5/5
DESIGN 1/5 (in comparison to a 5 being a luxury modern apartment)
CLEANLINESS ON ARRIVAL 5/5 
INTERNET 5/5 
STAFF 5/5

Well worth the money

After paying a good amount of money for a week, we found a room with the beds made but not cleaned and with a large number of tenants living in it. Chinches in my bed, ants, cockroaches, mosquitoes... A good stay, more appropriate than anywhere else. In the kitchen they have the furnace and the glassware turned off in the summer months, so they cannot be used. If you don't want to take a bad image of Sydney, don't mess with this place.

HORROR is in my bed.

We stayed only 1 night after arriving in late from airport. Yes it is old. Yes rooms are small and could probably do with a revamp.
We paid $60 for 4 people for a nights accom very close to the heart of Sydney, 15mins walk to Redfern station.
Try that elsewhere!.
Beds were comfy and sheets were clean.

The kids thought it was like entering Hogwarts

You get what you pay for

Stayed here for 3 nights in a double room, had very low expectations due to reading reviews! We were in a double room on the second floor, the room was a good size, had a big fan and was clean. We didn't use the kitchen as it looked very small, the bathrooms were not very clean however this may have been due to other guests not the staff. The location is not the best as it is quite far from the harbour and circular quay but a nice walk through the university and china town to get to those places if that's what you want to do. We saw no cockroaches during a stay however spoke to some other guests who had a bad bed bug problem. 

Basic - not cleN

I don’t usually write reviews but I had to as this place was so foul! We stayed here 5 nights and it was awful. Keep in mind we are both in our 20’s and don’t mind basic accomodation. The pictures on booking.com do not accurately convey the student accomodation. Here is how the following was;

Room: my partner and I got a double room, there was no air con but a large electric fan in the room. It was so noisy but we needed it on in the night because of the humidity! It was dusty and made you feel sick in the mornings. The sheets in our room were not changed over the 5 nights nor was our towels, we had to ask for new ones. I’ve been to hostels before and they usually change (and clean) the room every 3 days. In January heat, these things need changing!

Bathroom: *shudder*.  This was by far the worst thing about our stay. We were on the second floor so we had to use a unisex bathroom. It was really old, smelled of urine. The bathrooms were not cleaned consistently or well and were mostly in a disgusting state. I know people should tidy up after themselves but it’s not always the case so they need to be checked. The showers made me want to vomit with razors, boxers, hair and empty shampoo bottles left in the stalls. It was gross and left my skin crawling! There was a small, newer bathroom down the hall, slightly better but still dirty. They need to be renovated.

Kitchen; we bought some food to have our breakfast here to reduce the cost of our trip but ended up eating 5 out of 6 days. The oven was broken, the hob didn’t work, there was no toaster (basic!), no cups and limited cutlery. Very poor. 

As we stayed in the old part of the building we were not told there was no elevator so keep in mind if you have 2 x 30kgs bags from travel!

On checking out, the guy at reception was too busy talking to someone else that they didn’t ask how our stay was or did we need a taxi booked or even have a good day. Basic customer service is lacking with some (not all) staff.

Basically for the money you pay, I would recommend to stay literally anywhere else!its disgraceful that they charge travelers this money to live in bad conditions. 

Stay anywhere else!

If you wanna cheap sleep, this is cheap but builders are revamping the building on one side and start at 730am so I would try else where. The bathrooms are not kept as clean as the Newtown pop up and yesterday a bathroom door was off its hinges. 



Difficult to sleep due to building work!!!

Our room was with all the amenities except for the TV, but it's also convenience, to some extent)). Next to the bus, to the train station - 7-10 minutes.

The favourite of Sydney.

The rooms offered by the hotel are the ones that are usually available to university students. They are spaces. There is no air conditioning. The hotel is in a rather decentralized position compared to the attractions. Although it does not cost so much, the quality-price ratio is certainly not high.

A week in Sydney

The pictures on the site are very nice... however, when you are there, it doesn't matter! Dirty shower, with hair everywhere, no toilet paper, but you will find used cockroaches and tampons. The rooms are tiny, unrefined and totally ruined! Breakfast is like a canteen... no organizations. Decent hotel! Escape.

Cheating

Photos that speak for themselves, compare them to the photos on the site... you'll see! Tiny rooms, ultra-dirty bathrooms, horrible shower (one shower for an entire floor, about 25 rooms)... cockroaches...
