Nice helpful staff on reception. Seemed clean enough in the room and the bathroom was ok! All a bit dingy though, nothing special. They organised nights out and there were always people partying at the hostel doorway! Small tv room and kitchen for such a big hostel. Was good place to meet people when you get to such a big...

My travel agent booked me a 6 bed here as it was the cheapest place the time I was booking. I stayed here for two nights, either end of a contiki tour, before flying home. When I read the reviews for this place, I must admit I wasn't looking forward to staying. However I was pleasantly surprised when I recieved... More

There are literally no words to describe just how bad this place is! It's disgusting! From the moment we walked into the place it stunk unfortunately for us we had booked online and had to stay or at least had to pay for a 7 night minimum for new years eve, the room we were given looked like it hadn't...

Not the best hostel you will ever stay in my only real consilation was i was upgraded to a room with its own bathroom due to the hostel overbooking the place. The room itself was semi clean but the bathroom felt as if it could do with a proper scrub.The kitchen was tiny cramped with not enough equpment.If u wanted... More

I didn't want to share a room and was mainly looking at hotels. But at some point I realized Sydney was somewhat above my budget and decided to settle for a room to myself at Westend. I ended up paying the same as I paid for a very nice rom with a kitchen in central Melbourne. Westend was noisy, small... More

After travelling around New Zealand for 3 weeks and being spoilt with the quality of the hostels we stayed in we arrived in Sydney with excitement. All excitement was instantly dashed the second I glanced through the door to our dorm. The location of the hostel you can't fault, its perfect for getting anywhere in the city so it is... More

After staying at Nomads in Queenstown and being really impressed we decided to book ahead for Westend in Sydney. When we arrived the receptionist was rude, and didnt give us any information about the hostel. We stayed in the 'Church' and we knew we would be sharing with many people and it would be noisy but nothing could prepare us... More

I stayed here with my girlfriend and our friend, we had a private room and our friend stayed in a 10 bed mixed dorm. We all thought it was grim. We paid $70 for our private room, after staying in a Nomads hostel in Hervey Bay which was lovely we had high hopes but this was the complete opposite! Our... More

Arrived in the 32 bed dorm stinking of sweat and puke. Holes in the ceiling and sweat dripping from the walls as the room is too small for 32 people! Cockroaches everywhere and people having sex left right and center. Dont get me wrong it was a sociable place but wouldn't reccomend this place if your looking for a relaxed... More
