Typical hostel grime. Bathroom was just always wet, and wasn’t cleaned once over the two night stay. Staff was lovely and always helpful and friendly. The location is hard to beat.

Decent budget accommodation right on the Manly strip. Private room was reasonably large and comfy. However, it's an old building with poor soundproofing, so a fair bit of noise through the night.

Really dirty, staring at the same dead flies all weekend let's you know they don't clean anything. Showers smelt pretty bad. Room was just generally gross on all surfaces. Windows don't shut properly so street is full volume and market gets set up early at the weekends right outside. Location is great but a really poor quality hostel. I've stayed in a lot of backpackers places but this was one of the grossest, which is kinda crazy given the price.

Im going to report it to the dept of Health its disgusting. No need for filth like that, no ventilation, soap or hand towels. The showers havent been cleaned in years (or anything else) it stank

Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life.

Staff are friendly and happy which is nice. Reasonable for what it is. Definitely noisy though. Haha

8/10

Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize.
