Check in was a pain in my butt, but the staff was patient and made efforts to assist me in…read moreresolving the issue. Communication in person was decent. By message was not. Yesterday I had a hellish time getting to Australia. My Hawaiian Airlines flight malfunctioned at take off and had to turn around. So I missed the first night of my reservation. Some places will cancel your entire stay for that so I emailed them to let them know and make sure they'd keep my room. By the time they responded I had already landed in Australia, still unsure if I had a place to stay. I started to just ditch the reservation and get a room at Moxy Sydney for comfort and to be in the city, but I travel for the adventure so I headed out to Bondi with my fingers crossed. Found out they don't take Amex, they don't take USD, and my debit card was acting erratic. They suggested I go to the ATM for AUD, which was great, but for an international hostel, I'd expect different currencies as part of doing business. Anywho, my card didn't work at the ATM so I came back and just after I'd asked her to run it again and before we saw it was approved, I'd gotten the idea to ask to charge the card on file electronically. She said she hadn't suggested it because they don't like to do that, it may charge guests on the other end. I can respect that. It all worked out and check in was eventually a breeze. Here are the things: Stairs. I was briefly surprised that they didn't have an elevator. If you have heavy luggage, be prepared to climb at minimum one full flight of narrow stairs with it. Size/layout. It's smaller than other rooms, especially for a mixed one. The rooms are NYC small so be prepared to just sleep in the room. There's plenty of open space elsewhere in the facility. The room is suffocatingly stuffy at times during the day. There is a window but there's no screen/nothing to prevent bugs getting in. Bathrooms: Lines. I may have lucked out at other hostels or I've not been at one this large, but I'm not used to a wait. The bathrooms were clean enough, I saw a large cleaning staff but there were broken/empty soap dispensers. You'll need to bring your own everything to this one. Shower shoes, towel, soap, etc. Decent place if you don't wanna spend more than you have to. Excellent place if you just want the beach location. Lots to walk to and see. Metro nearby. Restaurants, convenience stores, shops.

Haven't actually gotten inside room yet but so far the common areas are clean. Very strict in check…read morein time as they are very busy. The activities are more geared for groups not so much for solo travelers but still seem good value. Value 4/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Service 3/5 Quality 4/5 15/20

I stayed here for the first two nights of a 10 night trip to Australia. The room was not ready…read morewhen I arrived super early, but the friendly desk clerk was happy to do a pre-check in and hold my bags, so when I returned, I could go to my room easily. The room itself was great, albeit ALL the way the hall from the elevator. There was a small kitchenette, equipped with a combination washer dryer which was very handy. On my last evening, I washed my travel clothing and my first two days clothing, which saved me on packing space. The bathroom was lovely, with both a shower and tub, and a double sink. The tub looked a bit discolored, but then again, I would almost certainly not use a hotel bathtub anyway. The room was very large. Bit enough for what I think was a king bed, a seating area, plus an extra chair. It was in the back of the hotel, so it was quiet. Pretty sure there was a tiny balcony, but that side overlooked a side street, so I didn't venture out. Well located toward the North end of Bondi beach, steps from the beach. There is an entrance off the side street, or one can take an elevator from the back of a tiny shopping center under the hotel which has two food establishments, a liquor store, and a full supermarket. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant, but there are all kinds of food options nearby. I'd stay again.

Booked this hotel very last minute after choosing to extend after a work trip to Australia and I…read morewas surprised with how great it was for not being so expensive! The hotel is a great location walkable to the beach, friendly staff, felt very safe even as a woman traveling alone. The room was HUGE and clean. Had a great kitchenette area and a great view out the balcony. Wonderful stay and would definitely return to this property and consider more QT properties in the future!
