Well situated, 2 steps from Central station. Good wi-fi in rooms and common parts. Each bed has a dedicated closet (you have to bring your own locker) and a small very practical bed lamp. There is a nice and usually quiet common space separated from the kitchen. Overall clean in rooms and common parts (even if as usual, in the kitchen, some people are just spoiled and don't clean after themselves :/). HUGE common refrigerators in the kitchens provide enough space to everyone (which is not the case in some other hostels). Enough showers and WC. Hot water in showers. Enough washing machines. Friendly staff. The clients are a mixture of long-term stays and a bit older backpackers. You won't find the pub crawls and all-night partys here, but you will get a calm and confortable home. I particularly appreciated the fact that there were separate trash bins (recyclable - non recyclable) in the kitchen.

Loved my stay here. First time visiting Australia. Got off the aeroplane and made our way to 790 on George. Very pleased. Good value for money. My friend and I stayed in a private room. I think it was roughly 6 rooms to a toilet area. On my floor there was a urinal, toilet and two showers. Usually I could get one or on the rare occassion I had to wait a few minutes or go downstairs. There was a social lounge but on the few times we went in, it was frequently by people on their phones who did not even look up to nod. There was the kitchen which we found as well as eating, people were more open to chatting. Striked up some good conversations about travelling whilst having a coffee and breakfast. Staff were friendly. It was in such a good location. A stone's throw away from the tram, shops and the market close by and not very far from parks and green space. Loved this.

This was my 4th visit to Australia. Actually, I didn’t expect much because of my first 3 experience staying in a hostel in Australia was terrible. Considering also that they offer the lowest price for Sydney the time that I booked them. But to my suprise, the hostel exceeds my expectation. Clean Bedroom with Comfortable Bed, Clean Toilet and Shower, Big Kitchen and Fridge, Near the Central Station, Near Haymarket. Comfy and Homey TV Room Also, one of the big factor as well that I enjoyed my stay is that the long stayers there don't act that they own the place. They are respectful, specially in kitchen. Would love to stay here again :)

It has all you need. The building has 7 floors, and backpackers fluctuate a lot, so the facility is well adjusted to the number of people coming and going. Big kitchen, where everyone fits, with simple but plentiful breakfast each morning, you can leave there a luggage if you have a free morning before checking or afternoon before flight. Location. It's next to the train station, or metro (T), which is a few stops from the airport. A tram stop (L) is in front of the building, which can take you all the way to the harbour, Opera house. There is a bus stop that takes you to Bondi or Maroubra Beach.

The location, first off, is EXCELLENT. Next to the light rail, a short walk away from Central train station, and you don't have to walk far for food, drink or anything really. Also there's a free pizza night on Fridays, and you can't go wrong with that. Also a fairly sociable place too if you're a solo traveler, with plenty of opportunities to meet people and go out with them (not to mention they DO offer some discounts for places around Sydney). Also, unlike other hostels, there's actually an elevator here for most floors, so it's VERY good if you have accessibility needs!
