One of the best hostels. Staff was very friendly and always ready to help. Rooms were clean and comfortable and my room even had shower. Great location, close to the city. Even it is next to street where night life is going on, the hostel is very quiet and save. Great people, great hostel. Loved it!

HQ is an awesome hostel, the rooms are great, the hostel attracts a respectful but fun crowd of backpackers. They have great facilities, I love the court yard and the kitchen area is fantastic. Their wifi is really good, at some places it's so slow you can hardly open a web page on the net. Their customer service is fantastic,... More

Very nice hostel! Stayed in one of the 4 person dorms in the top of the building! Free breakfast available every morning, free t-shirt if you stay more than 3 nights! Good location 'slap bang' in the middle of the lively hub of 'Kings Cross'!! The only downside was the room had no air con and unfortunately it was boiling... More

Staff are all friendly, nice, and helpful. And also location is excellent, about 2-3 minutes walk from Kings Cross Station. I stayed in 6 bed mixed dorm room for $28/night (free wifi, no aircon, & breakfast included), pricey enough. Ask for gifts from Isabella.... Cheers!
