Stayed for 6 nights in a king bed ensuite on the 7th floor, the highest floor of the hostel (free upgrade when we booked). The place was quite rundown but you get what you pay for - was happy to find this place which cost us half of what we would've to fork out for a city hotel with a... More

If you are looking for an amazing social life and good time, this hostel is definitely the best hostel to choose. Manager (laurence) and all other staff are so amazing, lovely and very helpful, made us feel at home and felt like family by the time we left. Rooms are good, kept clean, a little run down which many call... More

This place was beyond disgusting. I stayed at Dlux Hostel during the easter period 2013 and regret booking with this hostel. There were blood stains and hair on the matresses that we slept on and most importantly INSECTS! During my sleep I was always itching and so were my friends. The bathroom roof was very unstable and was died up... More

I'm going to start my review with some excerpts from an account I read about life in a prisoner of war camp: "The dorms were vastly overcrowded and had been badly damaged"..."We slept on makeshift beds, made from four posts with a thin mattress full of insects"..."Our bedding and washing were hung up to dry overhead"..."It was almost impossible to...

Great place to meet solo travellers and Lawrence the manager is a legend. You'll never be alone at this hostel, or get a good night sleep. But none the less cheap and cleaner than anywhere else in the cross.

The hostel is TERRIBLE at all! I can not believe they scammed money from guests. Here is my experience in Dlux Hostel. I paid room charge to the reception girl in cash when I checked in, and she told me only the manager could give receipt to me. After few hours when I requested the receipt from a guy called... More

Awful hostel!! Stayed here for our first week in Australia (June 2012)! Firstly, most of the staff there were rude and unhelpful (except for Andy, who doesn't work there anymore). We arrived early that morning off a 24hr flight to Sydney and, firstly, we were told very abruptly that we had to wait 2hrs to check into our room. We... More

the hostel was clean enough, though in bad need of a makeover. the hostel room itself was clean, but the carpet was really disgusting, the cupboard doors were literally hanging off and the surrounding area was not so family friendly... but the staff were friendly and very helpful

This hostel is exactly what I expected, young backpackers enjoying life and drinking all the goon! Rooms were clean and for the price it was perfect! Tony at the desk was very helpful and the kitchen was clean as well as the shower. I see some other pictures of trash on the floor but I'm guessing the pictures were taken... More

We first arrived into Sydney at 12am ish after a long journey we just wanted to check in and get to bed. On arrival the reception staff was friendly and place seemed pretty budget, checked in fine but our private double room had not been made up and still had the last person's dirty sheets and towels in there.
