I loved the location of the hostel because it’s so close to the beach and all the cafés I wanted to try and things I wanted to do in Bondi were in walking distance. The staff were friendly and it’s a very social hostel where it’s easy to meet...

Excellent little room for a single guy traveling. The front desk staff was so kind and helpful. Eloise went above and beyond. Her local knowledge was also so helpful.

It's a good concept for a hostel. I perhaps got lucky as my roommates were tidy. Staff available to help from morning to late.
