Disliked: Staff & service
Depends on the staff, some are nicer than others. Someone randomly took off my clothes from the dryer when it’s not done so when I got my clothes it’s all damp. Staff partied harder than guests. They were on the tables dancing and yelling in the common room/kitchen.

Wake Up! Sydney owned by the Millet family, is conveniently located near Central station. All rooms including the private rooms, the dorms, and the bathrooms, are immaculately clean. Impressive considering there are over 500 beds in this place. The kitchen on the 1st floor is clean and modern with new electric hobs. 2 convection ovens and microwaves. Big shoutout to Nora, India and Pearse who always make me feel welcome when I stay. A high quality and recommended hostel. (There is also a Wake Up! at Bondi beach).

The hostel was geared toward young travelers. It is convenient to a train station (and airport train) and has lots of shopping and dining around. The two guest bunk room I rented was tiny but adequate ,communal showers and toilets old but clean. Loved the over sized window in the tiny room. 24 hour staff was helpful.
