Wake Up! Sydney Central

Every thing is good

Well,

The location across from Central Station is fantastic. The property is modern,very clean, spacious. Their is a lift so no lugging bags up flights of stairs. Beds are comfy, power points in your bunk bed, good storage for bags in the room. Highly recommend.

Great location! Super easy to extend my stay here too.

spacious rooms privacy curtains on the beds lots of social events if you're looking to meet people and get cheap/free drinks and food kitchen, gym, and sauna all GREAT to have!

For me, there were too many people at this hostel. I've stayed at probably 100 hostels over the last few years and this one was the busiest and least chill I have ever been at. There were so many people in the lobby, in the kitchen, in the hallways taking phone calls, in the stairways taking phone calls. Just on my floor, there were two girls (10 total) per sink in the bathroom on a few nights all trying to brush our teeth at the same time. There was no space to do a bit of work or chill and rest at any point during the day. Everyone in my room was also loud, even quite late at night. The kitchen was being used by EVERYONE. I understand that this just happens in a busy hostel, but the kitchen was packed every day at dinner time. It was difficult to find space and work around everyone. There wasn't always room at a table after cooking. Also, the fridges were SO full. Every time I went to go get my food, someone had moved it from where I last put it and it took me so long to find it I had almost given up. The lifts take really long to come up to any of the high floors. I think this happens because lots of people are taking them between G and 1. When I was in a hurry, I would just use the stairs, but running up 6 flights and down 6 flights wasn't that fast either. At check-out, I was asked if I took my pillowcase off my pillow to signal that the bed needed to be changed. I wasn't told of this in advance. So, even though I had all my bags on and was trying to get to the airport, I waited for the lift and went back upstairs to take the pillowcase off. When I got back downstairs, the staff said that I needed to bring the pillowcase downstairs with me. Luckily, she let it go and just made a note of which bed I was in.
