The beach house was very close to the beach and takeaway shops. It was also great value for what we paid ($33 per head, per night) - the rooms were decent, with toilet and shower facilities, and access to a kitchen and living area. The kitchen had free food and cooking basics (oil, salt, condiments). We also got breakfast (self-serve) each morning, which was decent. I did spot small cockroaches running around the kitchen every now and then, and there wasn’t much space in the fridge or ‘pantry’ to store items, but it wasn’t a big deal. The TV in the living area seemed to have Netflix or access to some other streaming application (I didn’t use it, but some of the other guests did). The other guests staying at the hostel were friendly and polite. Overall I was fairly happy with my stay, and I would consider coming back again.

Propre mais.....
Les chambres sont propres (il faudrait quand même enlever les toiles d’araignées) mais les draps sont propres et les lits comfortable. Les salles de bain sont plutôt propre. La cuisine est vraiment dans un mauvais état et la pièce de vie... on n’a pas envie d’y rester !! Mais bon pour quelques nuits ça va.

Fantastic location, wonderful staff, excellent facilities. Good number of bathrooms, love the washing line option. Breakfast is great. Plenty of crockery/cooking utensils in the kitchen. Bedrooms are nice with a decent amount of space - with clothing rails and hangers, to boot! The covered balcony is lovely and spacious. The living room is comfortable and relaxed. Atmosphere is friendly and chilled, even at weekends. Good proximity to supermarket, restaurants, BARS, buses, and the beach. CBD is easy accessible via 373 & 374 buses. Buses to other locations also easy to find. 3rd time here and would definitely recommend it (and have done so) to friends.

I booked a double bed which advertised having a private bathroom, but it didn’t and I had to use the shared bathroom facilities, which for the price I paid was not acceptable. The description ’free nearby parking’ was also misleading as it implies it’s parking offered by the hotel - it wasn’t- it was just street parking in the surrounding area, it shouldn’t be listed as a hotel feature. The room itself was fine, very basic, but tidy.

The reception closed (office closed and no one there!!!) from between 1pm to 3pm and there was no information when i booked it. We found it when we got in there at 1 15pm. I hope Expedia will update about it so then ppl will know in advance. Staff is nice but the room got small and noisy at all the times. If you are light sleeper, im not recommend here. But good location from beach just 1 minute walking.

Unbelievably close to the beach. Friendly, helpful staff. A few of the toilet/bathroom doors get stuck but the showers are excellent. Worth noting no hand soap provided in toilets. No toiletries either but I'd checked before arriving and I'm fairly sure it's not uncommon anyway. Honestly you can't beat this place on price and location. Right near the bus stops into the city, too. 100% would stay here again

Great location, right next to the Pavillion and a very short walk to the beach. It was slightly pricey for what you get but it was nice to have more privacy than other cheaper hostels. It was an overall quiet place which was nice to have. The bathrooms weren't very updated but it wasn't a big deal to me. I recommend for a mid-tier hostel experience.

Alright for what it is.
The place is old, smells a bit mildewy (Sydney beach front houses do) and is not well insulated. Therefore cold in winter and hot in summer. It is full of gap year UK types on working visas. So the kitchen is a sty. Fridge sounds like a John Deere tractor at tractor pull competition. Locks on doors were a bit iffy. The front desk staff were very helpful though. Bathrooms were all clean. Hot water all gone by 7 AM though. Pity there is no washing machine there. But location is excellent.
