Decent budget accommodation right on the Manly strip. Private room was reasonably large and comfy. However, it's an old building with poor soundproofing, so a fair bit of noise through the night.

Great place to stay in Manly, Guest's need help.

The Elevator needs to be fixed, Otherwise a wonderful stay, the guests were wonderful. I think some would like the different embassy's to help them get home. I can't wait to stay again soon.

Typical hostel grime. Bathroom was just always wet, and wasn’t cleaned once over the two night stay. Staff was lovely and always helpful and friendly. The location is hard to beat.

Carl

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life.

Shelli

Liked: Staff & service
Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize.

Great location, needs a deep clean

This is a great base in Manly, the Corso facing rooms have some noise at night and the street cleaning machines start about 5.30 but earplugs should see to that. The kitchen and communal areas need a deep clean, the room was tired and dusty, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. You get what you pay for and by the amount of long-term guests it appears there are work opportunities. The free breakfast- cereal, toast, tea+coffee was welcome.
