There’s no soundproofing at all you hear all of the noise. I was in a private room but every time the front door would open I could hear it which meant that my sleep was disrupted quite a lot. The dining services and common areas aren’t that nice either to be honest. I’ve stayed in quite a few hostels globally and this is probably The least exciting one I’ve been in.

Great staff, easy to check in and out. It’s an older building so wear and tear to be expected. Ensuite room came with toaster, electric jug and mini fridge which was perfect.

The staff were wonderful, the room was excellent, the location is awesome; the parking was a breeze - especially for Sydney; and all for an excellent price. We wanted to extend, but unfortunately for us, they were fully booked.

The "Online check-in to avoid wait times" is ineffective, as you still need to visit reception for manual activation of the electronic keys. Reception was unattended from 12:30 to 13:15, leading to nearly an hour of waiting, despite having already completed the check-in online. Additionally, the bed had crawling insects (not bedbugs, but similar), and the fridge still had a frozen cockroach inside, likely from a previous spill.

Charged twice… prior to check in despite it being pay at stay. To be told it failed however money was removed from my account. Had to pay again. Still waiting on refund. No one answered phones all day and staff not available when needed, even though have been told it is a 24/7 manned desk. o line check in also did not work, had to download an app which also did not work.

Unique, but typical for the area - period mansions and grounds converted to range of accommodation, from shared/hostel rooms to private ensuite rooms. Full shared kitchen facilities available, but it's Glebe Point Road, so you'll run out of days before you run out of options. One cautionary note, if outside of an evening, the possums are so active, you're likely to be showered with tree debris... = )

The property is not bad. But there is no lift in the property so you have to climb up many flights of stairs. Not suitable if you have a lot of luggage.

Great secure property. Great staff, check in was excellent. However, they need to provide the very basics - no bath soap, no clothes hangers in the wardrobe, no jug (but they were good to provide one immediately upon request), no heater (in winter!) the air con did not work. Otherwise, a great place. I would return in Summer time

I paid for a single room, staff was good and room is clean overall. However, someone banged the front door all night or the door is generally shut with loud noise, it wasn’t a good experience.
