Staff was excellent, they were very welcoming and accommodated an early check in on New Years and let me hang around the common areas for a bit after check out. Overall it's about what can be expected at a hostel. Good amount or bathrooms, so I never had to wait to shower.

Disappointing

The location is in a perfect position! The hostel is in the center of Manly, your can reach it easily from the ferry, and its close to everything.. shop, bars and beach!

The hostel is not really clean, kitchen, bathrooms and rooms. They said every day someone is coming to clean the rooms.. they actually dont really do it. they just take away the trash. Kitchen can be really a mess. Not space in the fridge or in the kitchen to keep own things.

Nothing

I don't recommend it at all, terrible option. Being in the room is a real sauna. it is extremely expensive. There is nothing in free food because those who have been living there eat everything for YEARS. A terrible experience, probably the worst I have ever had in my life.

Poor

Never again.

Only liked the location. Very close to Manly Beach. Good for surfboarders, urging by clientele.

Very uncomfortable bunk bed, hard to get into, hot on top bunk, could not leave windows open due to partying at night and construction in the morning. Bathroom shower stalls were moldy and gross. Ping-pong area never got vacuumed. No plugs to charge phone available when room was even half full. Young clientele left common area dirty, played music loudly and smoked where you were not supposed to. Hard to reach staff to check in at 9 pm. Checked out early but could not get a refund.
