Loved the classic hostel feel and intense walkability and beach access. The facility needs some repairs, but if you're young and traveling and need an inexpensive place, perfect. It's loud, but no more so than any other hostel experience. I felt a bit too old to be there at 29, but then again I'm fairly low key and wasn't keen on the party life.

Convienient location within a good walking distance to the ferry and beaches. Plenty of local shops to choose from to eat as well as local supermarkets. The front reception area is a bit tight for space. The staff at the front desk were always friendly, cheerful, and helpful. The building corridors, and stairways feel quite dark. There seems to be a good large space upstairs available to socialize.

The Elevator needs to be fixed, Otherwise a wonderful stay, the guests were wonderful. I think some would like the different embassy's to help them get home. I can't wait to stay again soon.

This is a great base in Manly, the Corso facing rooms have some noise at night and the street cleaning machines start about 5.30 but earplugs should see to that. The kitchen and communal areas need a deep clean, the room was tired and dusty, but the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. You get what you pay for and by the amount of long-term guests it appears there are work opportunities. The free breakfast- cereal, toast, tea+coffee was welcome.

Jose was such a helpful member of staff. I had a flat tyre on the highway on the way to the backpackers. I had to wait for roadside assistance for over an hour. Jose waited for me to arrive which was well after midnight. He helped me with directions and genuinely cared about my welfare. I slept well in my single room with my dou bed. It was a good stay. Thank you. Nicole

Private room was very accommodating. Came with towels and shampoos. Bathrooms were right across the hall and easy to access. Check in was easy to work with and let us check in very late. Awesome room overlooking The Corso. Would recommend to those on a budget and who dont mind the hostel style of sharing. Would gladly come back!

Stayed there for two nights my in my mum, what a big mistake! The area is nice but very noise at night so we couldn’t sleep well. The place smells bad and is not clean at all! For the price I could have paid for a better place to stay, way too expensive for what you get!

More of a long term stay place for foreign workers than a backpackers hostel. Front desk was very nice, but room, shower, and kitchen were very dirty.
