Sydney Central Inn - Hostel

We've stayed here before when we last went to a show. The price is right, the check-in is easy, the staff friendly and the accommodation comfortable. We will stay here again in the future.

I was extremely disappointed with this booking. My flight arrive into Sydney 5:30am. So I make a booking at this hotel which is near the Central Railway Station in Sydney. The intention is to get some rest and wash up before my meeting in the afternoon. Before my flight departure which is in the evening of my check in date, try to call this hotel many times but no one pickup the call. Only managed to leave a message that I will only arrive early morning the next day, hopefully my room can be reserved even though I already made full payment. Upon my arrival into Sydney early morning around 6am, there is no one manage the front desk but only phone number to call in case emergency and a board informed about the front desk operating hours. Try to call the number coupe of times and finally a lady picked up the call. I was told they will only arrive 9am. Despite my message the day before and call on arrival, the hotel staff don't make any effort in facilitate my check in. But only said the hotel do have operating hours for check-in ! No refund even you have given them notice that your arrival timing is out of their operating hours.

Really wonderful location but the karaoke bar next door, the freezing room, the rock solid bed, the feeble hot water stream in the shower, the wifi only on floor 1 in the communal room, and the lack of anything else, really dents its appeal. If you want central Sydney and you want a cheap hostel it's great. That's all. Friendly staff I must say thanks

Great hostel , friendly staff, super clean and brilliant location
