Great location, close to the beach and local amenities. Friendly staff and a warm welcome. Other residents friendly and a great atmosphere in communal areas. Rooms and bathrooms could do with a good clean and some air fresher for the corridors lined with smelly workmans boots would be a huge improvement! Stayed April 2013.

Warm welcome from Drew when we arrived. However all down hill from there. The room were small, painted nappy yellow, smelly carpet.. The shower looked liked it hadn't been clean. The kitchen looked ok I guess if you could find a pan that had a handle.. Many safety issues there.. Being elderly I wasn't interest hearing man having a go... More

I was a little surprised when we arrived in our room that it didn't look like the website where all the beds were on the floor. It must have been another website I saw who linked them because they didn't have that type of room. We have three children and we all fit fine in the room which had a... More

Overall this is a great hostel. Staff were kind enough to give us a family room for a cheap price on the first night as everything else was booked, then we moved to a four dorm. Good facilities and parking which was a bonus for us because there is basically none in the city. Staff were always really friendly and... More

I arrived with my 3 children and mother for a four day stay, thinking the family room would be more spacious after advice on booking. On arrival the room was a touch tight. When I spoke to the helpful young receptionist he offered a second room free of charge for the duration of our stay. This made our experience so... More

I booked 5 nights at this hostel back in April 2012 for a stay over the New Year 2012-2013. The room was clean, tidy and all amenities were very well kept. Amazing location, just a few steps away from the beach, and the buses into the city. Staff here were amazing, very helpful, helped me book the rest of my... More

This is on Collaroy Beach, which is a very quiet area but if you want to surf and chill then this would suit as its literally across the road to the beach. As most YHAs are this was professional and clean. They charge for wifi $4 an hour but can also help you look for work. They advertise activities in... More

If you want something alot less touristy than Sydney and Bondi stay at this hostel, great surfing, great location and little town feel. I had a horrible couple days leading up to staying at this hostel and the reception was great. offered me free dinner voucher and... More

Recently arrived to check in to a private room w/ shared bathroom only to find that the online reseller I booked with had sold me a room which didn't exist! there were no vacancies for the night and I was looking at the prospect of sleeping in my car, or on the beach. Despite the fact that this situation had... More
