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.

Property was ok, clean enough, check in was easy..during night was quite noisy and many people hanging around outside. Over 50 ebikes parked right out the front of the property with lots of people coming & going all night. As a single female traveller didnt feel overly safe.

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.

Terrible

Despite being advertised as “pay at stay” my card was charged the morning of my stay. I then used the online check in that was requested “to save time at check in”. Upon arrival I was informed my payment had “failed” despite clear records showing the money had left my account, I was then charged a 2nd time before I was allowed to use the room I had already paid for. Reception staff were very unwilling to help me with this issue and would not allow me to check in without this 2nd payment. They even argued with me that I had not paid. The app I was requested to download also continually said I was not checked in. I tried to call reception multiple times throughout my stay and not once did anyone answer the phone. The desk is meant to be manned 24/7 and this is not the case for at least an hour there was no one available to not only me but many others trying to check in. I am also still waiting for Expedia to be able to contact the hotel in order for the refund to be paid to me and they are having trouble getting calls or emails answered to rectify this situation. I will never be booking this hotel ever again and will never recommend it due to this shonky practise of billing.

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... = )

I had booked an overnight stay for "Bed in Twin Female Ensuite Dorm" as appeared on my trip receipt but instead, I was given a room with two bunk beds that could fit four. And the rest of them are males (with me being the only female) when I asked specifically for a female-only room. Worst, one chap was hitting for me!

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

It was pretty clean except for some food left in a cupboard. I had a double with an ensuite. The bathroom was very clean but the smell said there was an underlying mould issue. Took longer for the hot water to heat up than my actual shower takes so the first morning I assumed it was faulty and being in a rush I had a 30s very cold shower...so be patient! Ask for a kettle and toaster when you arrive if you have this type of room as I discovered that it hadnt got them in the morning. Bed was comfortable and I was surprised by how quiet the area and the hostel were at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. For the price I paid it was still a pretty good deal despite the imperfections!
