The only negative were waiting for our room to be cleaned almost an hour after check-in time of 2PM, and a lift with a door threatening to fail and lock us in. There were many positives, not least the terrace view, the 'Big Dig" access and info, the cleanliness, and spaciousness.

Great location & views from the top bar area. Staff were friendly. However the room was very basic. I realise it’s an upscale backpackers, but the aircon was terrible. We all slept on top of the beds sweating all night. Beds are typical of cheap accommodation (uncomfortable with a joke for a pillow) you get what you pay for I guess.

Great position close to Circular Quay, with spectacular views from the roof top terrace of the bridge, harbour and Opera House. Very helpful staff who double as excellent baristas- having decent coffee there makes breakfast perfect. Loved our room and bed .
