Pay what you get, get what you pay
Location at Manly is perfect. Just minutes to the famous Manly beach. Price is the cheapest in metro Sydney. You can't find anywhere cheaper than this motel. Of course you pay what you get. It's a single bed in a dorm where you access via a key card. People from any countries including work holiday visa and some locals. You do have to look after your own belongings as there's no where to save the valuables as it's a big dorm.
If you share the room with other people unknown to each other, then you would expect noise issue.

Good location but that’s it!
Great location and friendly staff (particularly Lulu!)
The property houses mostly people that live there for their regional work. They were not very welcoming, unfriendly and intimidating when using communal spaces esp the kitchen. Despite signs saying no noise after 10pm, they were playing LOUD music until ~3/4am and one time it went on through the night and stopped around 8:30am so had very little sleep. The bathroom smells very bad and only one shower was working. Our double room was fine, if not a bit dated. For the amount they charge, this place could definitely do with some renovation! Would be good to know before that it is mostly residents rather than fellow travellers staying there as may have booked somewhere more suitable/friendly.

Good
Everybody was friendly, nice location. Free ear plugs were helpful. Great value for money.
Very noisy if you are near the common area, and very loud on weekends, as late as 4am. No hot water in the shower when I used it.

Good but disappointing
The woman in the reception is very nice and kind and the localisation in Manly is next to the beach. 😊
The bedroom are not very clean... If you don't speak Spanish, you can't feel comfortable here. People live there, do not respect the place nor the people who clean, shout, sing at all hours of the day, and make you understand that you should not be there.

Best hostel in Sydney
The vibe of this hostel makes it great. I’ve been to brand new hostels that had little to no atmosphere. I’ve stayed here multiple times now, alone, with family and with friends. Always left wishing I’d booked an extra few days.
Rooms are hot in summer, but with a fan that was soon rectified.
