Nice enough
Nice hostel, clean enough. Staff are friendly. Wifi is solid, location is good, lots of common space and the roof deck is nice. I stayed in a four person dorm. There was a lot of storage and enough space. The plugs can be awkward. The room could use some hooks. It’s summer and there is no a/c so we had the windows open which was noisy at times but not unbearable. The bathroom is a mixed floor bathroom. It is shared between a lot of people and is only cleaned in the morning so it can get pretty dirty. The hostel wasn’t too loud and is a little social but not great. They do have some social events.

8/10 Very good

pretty good for a hostel, good staff
Pretty good for a hostel. Customer service was pretty good, staff was helpful. It was a LITTLE bit dirty at times, but nothing terrible. There was a lot of people going in and out so it probably couldn’t be helped. Good location in Kings Cross, about 5 minutes walk from train station.

This is such a great hostel, it was always so clean and my bed was so comfortable. The rooftop is so much fun to hang out on and it has free gym passes which was a nice bonus. Definitely recommend

2/10 Poor

Rude, broken down, and unfriendly. Manager Alex is working in the wrong industry. Might want to try a career in - well, anything else.
