For my first hostel experience this was pretty grim! I would not recommend for anyone to stay here. The rooms smelt damp/funky and the carpet needed a good clean as my feet seemed to stick to it... The bathroom was disgusting with a constant dripping tap and shower, which soaked the entire floor. We were not warned about the bathroom... More

Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with lovely bathroom. Hostel had a relaxed atmosphere, Emily made us feel welcome straight away, giving us a place to leave our bags and a place to sleep, even though we couldn't check in until later. The kitchen is quite small but clean, and the hostel has a courtyard area. Good location, although... More

Travel stay in Sydney is pricey, even if you AREN'T in a prime location, so I wasn't surprised by the cost of this hostel, which is a few blocks from the central rail/subway station. But for approximately $70 a night for my husband and me, I expected a little better maintenance of the place. The outside of the Victorian-style building... More

Would not recommend anyone to stay here!! Showers are filthy and hardly have a constant temperature epically if someone flushes toilet! Was told they would pay our cab fair as they couldn't pick us up, only paid $30 instead of the full $50 Internet is only free for 24 hours then you have to pay $3 every day per person... More

I very much enjoyed my stay at Alfred Park, I stayed in one of the nicer rooms (twin, ensuite) and found the cleanliness of the place really good, the bed was made perfectly (and very comfortable) and bathroom spotless... same level as some hotel chains, and the young English cleaner was very friendly and seemed to be working hard all...

The staff is good, but Emily is just awesome. She is friendly, helpful and always has a good mood. The hostel is otherwise quite good. The rooms are big enough and have a small fridge in the rooms. Toilets are plentiful. Some backpackers who work in Sydney live in the hostel for quite a while. This creates a very family... More

The hostel itself is okay, the rooms are clean, the beds comfortable, the staff very nice. But the kitchen is a catastrophe! Almost all pots are completly black burned, you never find any forks, bowls are rare. One sink is permanently blocked, kitchen towels hardly exist and are too wet to dry dishes anyway. We stayed there for a week... More

To start off with this was the first of three hostels in Sydney that were clean! We only stayed for one night but it was a perfectly nice experience! Our dorm was clean, the showers were clean and the toilets were clean, you don't get that too often! The owner was great to us and went beyond the necessary to... More

The hostel is reasonable and close to Central Station. PCs with Internet connection are available. Unfortunately, the reception is not open 24 hours, so be careful if you check out early in the morning.
