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.

Great staff, easy to check in and out. It’s an older building so wear and tear to be expected. Ensuite room came with toaster, electric jug and mini fridge which was perfect.

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... = )

The staff were wonderful, the room was excellent, the location is awesome; the parking was a breeze - especially for Sydney; and all for an excellent price. We wanted to extend, but unfortunately for us, they were fully booked.

Took away my access to my room a day early not allowing me to stay the last night of my trip, had to stay elsewhere. Still charged me for the night when I raised the issue and went to get my belongings.

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!

The property is not bad. But there is no lift in the property so you have to climb up many flights of stairs. Not suitable if you have a lot of luggage.

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!

Somehow my booking got mixed up with an ensuite double room to a backpackers double room, the staff were pathetic, particularly when you consider the room I booked was more than my last day for an ensuite double room, no offered to change it no offer to upgrade me yet I'm a regular customer I find the service pathetic

Very nice, clean, quiet hostel. Staff really easy and friendly. Bit removed from the action but there’s a bus stop probably 20 meters from the hostel so not a big deal. Great place

The staff were really lovely and helpful. The room however was a converted basement that probably shouldn't have been used as a sleeping room. It smelt of damp and mould and my daughter had health/breathing issues. The other guests created noise late into the night, talking on phones outside our window so we didn't sleep well. The fridge was leaking water and seemed unstable. There was no soap in the shower, which I would have expected for the cost. On a positive note, the room was clean and if I was a young person and was travelling, I think it would be a good option to stay and meet other young people. It was a good distance from Glebe shopping village and the bay.
