This hostel was super handy with its location right next to the station. I was so relieved to be just across the road when my train arrived into Sydney. Roy's Cafe was superb and the staff were incredible at their job, producing consistently high quality food and drinks with a smile on their face, even with an endless stream of customers. I wish there had been an option to tip via card, as I didn't have cash on me. The recommendations of what to do in Sydney provided by the hostel through a QR code were a life-saver for me and gave me some great ways to spend my time in the city. I did struggle to sleep because of very loud building works just outside my window, but there was nothing the hostel could do to change that situation whilst I was there, as there were no other rooms available for me to move into. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend!

As hostels go this is up there as one of the best ones I’ve stayed at. The location is the best part. It’s in Haymarket which is very central and a cool neighborhood with great food options. Across the street from Central Train Station. There are trams everywhere. I walked to the CBD without any issues. The facility is clean and well organized. The bunk beds are secured to the wall so if someone moves it doesn’t shake the whole thing. The staff was friendly and of course there’s the cafe and club right there. I never heard any noise at night from the club. Overall 4.5/5

Hostel with a very young vibe. Best for those in their early 20's. More of a youth hostel

Short stay value for money
As I was in town to review a show, we booked an overnight stay. We knew the accomodation offered was budget, and booked a private room with shared bathroom facilities. Our request for 'accomodation as high as possible' was met and we were accomodated on the 6th floor. Though basic the room was clean, comfortable, as were the bathroom facilities. As the property is situated very close to public transport, it suited our needs perfectly, offered excellent value, and we would have no hesitation in staying there again.

Nice hotel. Short walk to Airport. Nice area, with national park, and beach 10 minutes' walk. Despite being close to airport, it is very quiet. Neat small rooftop pool with views over the area. Quiet area with lots of food choices nearby.

This is a great hostel option. They have laundry, a good location to station, and offer tours and things. The staff is friendly and helpful. You will have a little noise, if that bothers you, they offer ear plugs.

This property is in a very convenient to Central Station. The only downside to this property is there was no ventilation in the room ( stayed in a triple room as a family). Also BYO pillow if you like a comfortable one.

The double ensuite was a suitable sized room but it didn’t have the appropriate amenities. A fridge in the room, nicer bed sheets, a bin besides the one in the bathroom, poor water pressure and inconvenient sized bathroom - no place to hang a towel or put clothes down to change.

I wouldn't want to Wake Up anywhere else
I had an excellent stay from beginning to end. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a smile and friendly conversation, and had the activities, facilities and key card explained to me. When I checked out, I received a friendly farewell and was asked if I needed my bags to be stored. I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of my private double room, complete with desk and television. However, the windows were unable to be opened to allow air circulation, and I could not locate an air conditioner. It was lucky therefore that I was staying during the colder months, so this didn't bother me, but I hate to think how stuffy and hot the room would become during Summer. Furthermore, the foam mattress was uncomfortable, the walls paper thin, and loud noises from the street could be easily heard, and sometimes made it difficult to get to sleep. This is to be expected though from a hostel, and I was happy to overlook this. I am looking forward to choosing Wake Up Sydney when I next travel, because there is no other place where I'd rather Wake Up. Thank you for such a lovely stay.
