A cute hotel, 10 minutes walk from Coogee beach. It linked up excellently with public transport, and a bus stops right on the doorstep. There was a shared kitchen, which was very convenient. The room itself was very nice and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

My stay was short but really good! I loved the staff and the terrace. I enjoyed a great view and the sunshine on the rooftop. The breakfast and dinner were a big plus, they totally saved me from cooking!

From

Best hostel i've been to in Australia. It's modern / newly build, right in the center, with a nice rooftop terrace. Building is very cool - build on top of some old ruins. lots of kitchen space, lots of communal areas to hang, ... Beds were good and rooms were spacious - with individual lights and powerplugs, and lockers with power outlets inside.

Probably one of the best hostel vibes I’ve experienced. Great location, within walking distance to many attractions. The train station, light rail and buses are also close. I liked the various daily social activities the hostel provided and the free breakfast. The dining area is also a great way to meet people and is always lively. Bunk beds are quite big ( much bigger than standard) with curtains, charger and lamp.
