Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The place is fresh remodeled in side and out as well check in is up stairs but also has check in reception during the day at entrance lobby for customers. Room is clean and comfortable with daily activities including walking beach trails and yoga exercises for everyone.
Perfect location. Friendly staff. Especially megan who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Ideal base to explore, chilled atmosphere and offers daily activities. Only negative was the very loud doors banging closed up and down the corridor 24hr a day.
Excellent stay at Wakeup, staff and visitors are all super friendly with fun events every night which encourage socialising and making friends. Facilities are great too, showers have good pressure and heat and bathrooms are kept to a good standard. Very vibey overall - would definitely stay here again!
Friendly staff, great location and clean well kept.

Great hostel! Solo female traveller. It was very social as had a common room and different events. Great location in Bondi, close to beach and can get to Coogee by bus. Overall very clean (but obviously depends on roomies).
Great stay. Amazing location, right on the beachfront. Possibly the most sociable hostel I’ve stayed in. Everything was easy and simple to understand.
Some improvements would be: hooks (for damp towels) in the rooms, another ‘chill’ area - away from the reception desk - especially as the rooftop is closed during rainy and windy weather, more yoga mats available, more ‘staff only areas’ for them to relax/eat in as they would use guests areas and could appear quite cliquey.
The location of this hostel is exceptional if you’re staying at the beach and couldn’t be better. However, it’s not ideal if you want to be close to the city center, as it’s quite far from everything else.
The beds were very comfortable and the place was clean, but the bathrooms do not provide soap or shampoo. The lighting at each bed is very well designed and thoughtful, as it doesn’t disturb other guests.
Excellent place to stay for a new comer! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Everything you need is walking distance and beach just across the street!
Really nice hostel, comfy beds, clean bathrooms and great location. Had some trouble with check-in as I didnt realize the reception wasn't 24hrs but overall stay made up for it
We got mold poisoning from this room, really not a great stay. There is clearly a massive mold issue at the establishment as well as cockroaches and dust. Staff said we should email management but they never replied to us.
First time staying at a hostel and i would stay again!.
I met many interesting people from all over the world and made a good friend!.
Clean place and friendly staff, easy to find, they have daily activities with other guests so it was easy to make friends.
DO BRING EAR PLUGS
The location is very convenient, but the facilities leave much to be desired. The bunk beds are unstable, and any movement from the upper or lower bed is easily felt, which disrupts sleep. To make matters worse, I was woken up at 2:30 a.m. by the creaking bed noise and discovered that two people were engaging in inappropriate behavior in the mixed dormitory, which you know what I mean. This was extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable. The management should address both the bed quality and enforce rules to ensure a respectful and pleasant stay for all guests.
