Sydney Hostellit

I’ve stayed in many hostels before and understand you sometimes get what you pay for, but my stay at Wake Up! Sydney Central was disappointing. We booked a private room for three with a shared bathroom. The room had a strong “slept-in” smell which seemed to come from the actual pillows and bedding rather than the sheets. The shared bathrooms were also quite dirty, and during our five-day stay I only saw them cleaned once. The kitchen on the first floor is far too small for the number of guests. Fridges and cupboards were completely full, and with only a few cooktops, sinks and microwaves it’s very difficult to cook or find a place to eat. The hostel is very focused on partying, with events like pizza nights and free drinks in the kitchen area. It’s also quite noisy, with partying and heavy doors slamming day and night, so don’t expect much sleep. Considering how expensive Sydney is, this place still felt overpriced. The building is run down (cracked sinks), beds have thin mattresses, and we even saw a large cockroach one day. Staff simply said, “this is Australia.” There’s also no ramp at the entrance, so heavy luggage has to be carried up the stairs. The only real positive is the great location.

Room and amenities clean. Close to hospital which is why we were there. Also close to train station so you could get to other places easily. Affordable. Parking is good and reasonable rate. Will be staying there again.

My recent stay at the St. Mark Randwick Hotel was truly delightful. The hotel exudes charm and offers a cozy and comfortable retreat. The room decor was thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting ambiance that made me feel right at home. What impressed me the most was the seamless check-in process. The staff at the St. Mark Randwick Hotel made it incredibly effortless, ensuring a quick and hassle-free arrival. Their efficiency and attentiveness added an extra level of convenience to my stay. Throughout my visit, the friendly and accommodating staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. If you're seeking a charming and stress-free stay, the St. Mark Randwick Hotel is an excellent choice.

Für eine Nacht in Ordnung. Das Hotel befindet sich über dem Pub, der auch ab nachmittags sehr gut besucht ist. Es gibt dort sonntags auch Livemusik bis ca 21 Uhr abends. Alles vollkommen in Ordnung, wenn man nicht gerade Zimmer 10 neben der Waschmaschine/Trockner hat und neben der Lüftung schläft. Auch wenn ab 21 Uhr trocknen und waschen nicht erlaubt ist,störte es sehr. Die Hotelzimmer gehen nach hinten raus,so hat man morgens leider ebenso den Lärm der Ladezone vom Supermarkt. Positiv war,dass das Zimmer in einem modernen Zustand war und die Mitarbeiter alle sehr nett waren. Der Strand ist fußläufig zehn Minuten entfernt.

I appreciated that the staff were friendly and the bedsheets and toilets were clean. However, there is a relative lack of amenities and comfort, which is reflected in the lower price of this hostel compared to others. Each floor had two toilets and two showers, but 1 of the toilets on my floor was spoilt. There is only 1 elevator for the whole building meaning that sometimes I had to wait fairly long to go up / down. The only charging ports were in the lockers, which made it inconvenient to use my phone. Don’t get me wrong, this hostel does do the basics unapologetically, but if you have budget I’d recommend paying more for a better hostels.

I was lucky enough to have my room ready in advance, before 2PM and since my flight arrived early in the morning, that was really nice ! Cathy was also a wonderful person in general, throughout my stay. The room is pretty big, with a sink and a fridge. 👌🏻 The room I had is next to the common area however people weren't too loud, especially in the evening despite it roughly being the dinner time so that was nice. The area is very chill, a few schools and houses around so not loud at night. It is, however, situated on the planes' route and they are pretty low in the sky since it gets close to the airport. But there aren't any at night (around midnight until 6AM I would say) and it's not every 5 minutes either. The sun set pretty early at that time of the year and to me, I felt like the neighborhood lacked lights for people to walk around but it wasn't much of a bother and not something the lodge can change, so just a heads-up to have a small light/enough battery on the phone to use when coming back from your day trip activities.

Check in was great I went out for dinner and when I returned I opened the door to find the complete window frame and window smashed and my belongings scattered everywhere. I raced down to reception to advise the person on the front desk only to be told that there had been a 3 hour blackout at the motel and they were sorry 😡 I had to prompt the receptionist to give me another room which he did then he came up took a look and said let me know if anything is missing & walked away, do I started collecting my things only to find that my TAG heuer watch had been stolen so I lived into room 101 from 107 couldn’t sleep thinking I was going to get burgled the second time. Upon checking out I advised a different receptionist that my watch had been stolen he said we are very sorry but I will talk to management to see what we can offer you that was at 10am this morning and haven’t heard a word from the motel management 🤷♂️ absolutely disgusted

Looking for an unforgettable stay in Sydney? Look no further! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hostel that offers the perfect combination of convenience and comfort, right near Sydney's top attractions. This hostel boasts an unbeatable location, placing you within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Exploring these renowned sites and immersing yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere has never been easier.

I like the place in general. Location is good, check-in and check-out are easy. It is near to public transportation, from Convention station like 5 min walking. I stayed in the only female room, and it was very quiet at night, so I had a good sleep. The nice thing for me is breakfast and dinner. Luggage storage is also possible, so all was good.

The room is nice tidy good experience, the bed was with the same number self locked in the room which is good. The floor might make squeaky sound when you walk but it’s okay. Female bathroom was bit disappointed. Space was so small and don’t really have the place to put clothes and the shower head need to be replaced and the water just like pissed down and way too hot or cold.
