I stopped here with 2 friends whilst traveling around and I was very impressed with Wake Up! We had a lovely room which was clean and very large with any 2 bunk beds in which was nice because so places I've stayed in they cram loads in. Showers were clean and location was excellent, no need to take a taxi... More

If you want to stay a few days in Sydney....you should chose this hostel. 2min away from central station, 15-20min walk to the opera house, close to chinatown. The rooms are big, the kitchen is clean, the staff is friendly! If you want to have a drink, the side bar is the place to be! I was there in may,... More

We recently stayed at the Wake Up! hostel for a week and had a really good stay. We would have loved to give the hostel 5* as they have most things spot on, unfortunately the things that they don't are fairly important. Negatives - The communal areas are not clean enough, I appreciate a lot of people use the kitchen... More

Hardly ever leave negative reviews but we really did not enjoy our stay here. There are things we did like about the hostel, the tv area is great and there are tons of films to choose from, plus the location is perfect, but it pretty much stops there. - We were so sleep deprived after 3 nights here, staying on...

Really enjoyed my time here. The 10 bed dorm rooms were huge and had a nice bar downstairs. Very clean and met loads of cool, fun people. Would definitely recommend for those looking to party and meet people.

Friendly staff, clean room...not so clean bathroom? Actually, not the cleaners fault, some chick decided to take a dump on the shower floor... Location was alright, few minutes walk to haymarket area. The airconditioner doesn't seem to be functioning? Went down to reception twice and both times they replied that they'll come up and have a look but nothing. Night... More

Stayed here in a 4 bed dorm and it was nice. Nothing spectacular, just standard dorm with clean common spaces. Very centrally located. Bar in the basement has amazing happy hour deals, although if you're over 25 years old, you'd need to be pretty drunk to stay there in middle of the 19-20 year old crowd. But that is what... More
