Modern backpacker accomodation

I booked this at the last minute for our family of 4. I see this as a modern day take on a backpackers. We stayed in a private 4-bed (2 bunk) dorm, including a private bathroom. Everything was clean, modern and looked to be a new. There were outdoor areas, room keys were managed within an app (super easy), and staff were friendly. The location is great, about a 10 minute walk from Central or Redfern stations. There are plenty of e-bikes to hire which makes the trip back to the CBD fast and fun. Just don't confuse the private 4-bed dorm for a private queen room - you still need to BYO towel, or buy one at the reception.

Maya the receptionist was very friendly. She went out of her way to swap me to another room because I had a bad back. I was very happy I did not have to sleep on the top bunk bed.

Ok

For the price we paid, we had a great stay in Sydney, so this place offers great value for money if you want a private room. The kitchen was too small for cooking in and the communal areas weren’t the cleanest. The bed wasn’t amazingly comfy. The local area is great, lots of cafes and restaurants. Overall, good value for money but not the best.
