True Uni experience

Room at Shalom College was dirty, bed side table had sticky drink rings. Second bed side table was broken and unstable. Staff were helpful when they were there. Unable to check out of room properly as no staff were available to speak to. Bathroom was dirty. Toilets had markings all over and didn't look like they had been cleaned for a while. No air con in rooms. Coming back from concert late at night and keys to the college and room didn't work, still didnt work the following day. Upside: Close to bus and UNSW grounds in general were lovely to walk around.

It's cheap but you get what you pay for... If you're on a tight budget it's not a bad place. Conveniently close to public transport and everything, just wasn't the most comfortable stay.

Don't waste your money

Pros: It was cheap...never again
Cons: I don't have enough room or time to answer this
Appears to be run a bunch uni students for free rent...they had no clue. If you stay you can enjoy your time with noisy students who have no regard for anyone but themselves...the doors did not stop banging and and bouncing pool ball was just awesome at 1am.

Ok Stay

Pros: The price was very good for the location. I would be happy to stay here again.
Cons: The cleaning was not great, the old wet towels of the previous guest were still hanging behind the door.
Location: The location was fantastic for us. Central to the uni, bus stops and many take away food shops. very convenient!
The staff were wonderful upon check in and carried my 8 year old's bag up to our room for us. The room was new and had an ensuite and we were comfortable. The shared kitchenette was conveniently located with hot and chilled water; we didn't use the small fridge as it was over crowded for the number of guests. The west facing room was quite warm in the afternoon with just a ceiling fan for cooling, I would ask for a room on the eastern side on our next stay if possible.

Sydney's Hidden Gem!

Pros: Towels (2) supplied, along with shampoo, conditioner, hand & body wash, and body lotion supplied in sealed containers.
Cons: Two single beds in my room made things a little cramped, but having the spare bed meant I could put my belongings on it. Doors close noisily.
Location: I had work to do in Kingsford (5 blocks away). Thus very handy. Many restaurants nearby and city bus services even closer. Reasonably quiet location.
A very pleasant stay. Staff very pleasant overall (no nasty surprises!). Shared bathrooms good except for untidy guests who seemed to ignore "keep tidy"notices posted there. Microwave and electric jug for guest use was very useful. However, the guests left these items in a disgusting mess! The fridge was also crammed to the point where the door would not properly close. Why would anyone put their food into a fridge where it would spoil? Especially that of other guests! This is NOT the fault of the management; the blame rests fairly and squarely on the guests who are too lazy to follow simple instructions and clean up after themselves. This establishment is one of the best value for money places in which I have ever stayed. It really is a hidden gem.

UNSW Shalom Residential College

Pros: Location
Good idea to use college for budget accommodation, great location. However room was stuffy, no fan and no screen on window. When window was opened during the night, mosquitos came in big numbers.

Short personal business trip

Pros: Convenience and good fee
Cons: The parking permits - I bought three but wasn't told they needed to be displayed immediately and received a parking fine - have to dispute with RTA
Convenient but too noisy on the Barker street side

Handy but very basic

Trip back in time staying in a college. Clean, basic room but Sydney accomodation prices are outrageous.
