“Great accommodation and excellent start to living in a new city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2012

I was moving to Sydney for work and had to stay at a temporary accommodation while searching for a more permanent place. Rental in Sydney is really expensive and as someone who just started work, I was reluctant to spend too much - so I was relived when I found GVA. Firstly, GVA is conveniently located - 10 minutes away... More

“Friendly Team and Value for Money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2012

I am a consultant and my work involves travelling in and out of Australia. Over the past few years, when I have to be in Sydney for a few weeks to a few months, I stayed in GVA. GVA is a budget student accommodation with interesting students from all over the world and it would be a great place for... More

My name's Emily and I would recommend anyone to stay at GVA. I stayed at GVA for 3 weeks temporarily before I moved closer to my college. I had such a wonderful time at GVA.

My name is Jeremy and I lived at gva for a year while I was studying in Surry Hills in Sydney.

“If I took my dog here he would bite me, its that bad.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

The joint is an absolute dive, the rooms are disgusting and the furniture is old and broken. I ran night clubs for years but the noise never ends and no discipline or respect for studying or for those who have to go to work. Food is included in the deal but don't get to carried away, the menu is nothing... More

Thanks for your useful (and creative) feedback Dean. January in Sydney is always busy and the students are mostly on holiday. We do our best to keep noise to a minimum with a dedicated night time security guard. GVA is budget student accommodation - we encourage any potential visitors to call or email if in doubt whether it is suitable... More

“What a great time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2012

I stayed in GVA for 5 months whiles studying abroad. I have met some of the greatest people in this building. There is such diversity that you meet people from all cultures, all around the world. Sure, we partied at night, but the 10:30 PM curfew was strictly enforced by GVA security, and we therefore had to either return to... More

“Beyond terrible.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 April 2012

My friend and I stayed here at the beginning of 2012. We were booked in for a month, whilst we worked in Sydney & had already paid the full amount in full. Arrived at around 10am to an empty office, and waited around for 20 minutes before anyone came to check me in. At first I though my tiredness was... More

Thanks for the feedback NUR25a. You're obviously very upset that GVA was not what you were expecting and I apologise for that. I will have a look at our website to see if we can paint a more realistic picture of what budget student accommodation looks like. I'm sorry that you didn't think $260 per week including breakfast and dinner... More

“Awesome, but only for the under-25's/young at heart!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

Stayed here for three weeks. Searching for accommodation in Sydney is an absolute nightmare, and GVA was our beacon of hope! The location is great: only five minutes walk to Wollstonecraft Station, and the train takes you to the city in less than 20 minutes (plus you get a postcard view of the Opera House enroute). The actual building isn't... More

Thanks for the review Krisface - so glad you liked it here at GVA. Managing up to 160 students can be a noise challenge sometimes but we hope to strike the right balance between having fun and the necessity of sleep!
