82%Glebe Point YHA

It was a really lovely place to stay and was conveniently close to all the major attractions. There was a huge fight between a couple of guests on our last night there but I thought the staff handled it brilliantly and should be commended for it.

a very good hostel with the potential for party but fortunately when we were'nt there as I'm old and boring nowadays. 20 minute walk into town, easy. Only had small lockers so had to leave laptop at reception, would have been good to have a locker in the room, ............and a TV, and DVD, and... more a very good hostel with the potential for party but fortunately when we were'nt there as I'm old and boring nowadays. 20 minute walk into town, easy.

Oh, I thought wifi was sooo expensive but then this is Australia. Enjoy your stay.close

The storage room could be better. Either there should be personal lockers or the storage of things should be monitored by the staff. When i put my backpack there and when I took it out the room was open and i could have taken anything.

Glebe is a great location and the hostel is good and the staff are ace. The downstairs kitchen/lounge bit is a bit drab tho, and some people look like they were on the verge of tears, they were that miserable!! cheer up.

Really nice hostel to chill out at. Not too far from George St (walkable), and Glebe has lots of nice cafes and restaurants. Beds were comfy, and rooms had a sink in them which was great. The guy on reception was really chatty and helpful too! Would stay here again.

The twin room we had was huge..finally some space for backpack and suitcase! Great was also the tea, coffee and kettle in the room...great idea. Only minus would have to be the tiny sink with the tab being too close to the edge of the sink...so whenever you washed your hands you ended up flooding... more The twin room we had was huge..finally some space for backpack and suitcase! Great was also the tea, coffee and kettle in the room...great idea. Only minus would have to be the tiny sink with the tab being too close to the edge of the sink...so whenever you washed your hands you ended up flooding half the room. But apart from that we really enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely recommend to others.close

I liked the hostel at first but I found the staff to be unfriendly and not helpful at all. It was an ok location. To get to the city its about a 20min bus ride but the area around the hostel is really quite which was nice. Other than that the tv room was probably the highlight about this hostel.

The kitchen was cleaned thoroughly everyday which makes a pleasant change from many hostels. More fridges needed perhaps but in general a great, safe, helpful hostel

Bit noisy in the early mornings when the cleaners do the bathrooms and switch all the fans on which are old and whine quite a bit.

Nice place that is in a different area then the central YHA downtown. You have to get on the bus from the train station, to far to walk with backpack. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't want the downtown city scene.

Glebe was a great location to stay. Very close to a beautiful park on the bay, and also a convenient walk to pubs and a main street loaded with shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Showers and toilets were very clean.

Located in a quiet area, but lots of cool people. Only a short walk or bus ride to city centre. Roof top patio is awesome! Great barbies weekly.

I have asthma, and had not noticed the dirt on the window sill, or the amount of dust on the fan that was in our room since we got in later the first day... the two sent my asthma into a tizzy... we ended up switching rooms, and the 2nd was better, but I still ended up doing a bit of cleaning... more I have asthma, and had not noticed the dirt on the window sill, or the amount of dust on the fan that was in our room since we got in later the first day... the two sent my asthma into a tizzy... we ended up switching rooms, and the 2nd was better, but I still ended up doing a bit of cleaning of the sills with wipes that I had. this is probably a rare occasion, but wanted to bring it up. On the other hand, we had our backpacks stolen at the beach, and the staff was really super about helping with all kinds of details and were quite supportive.close

Funky suburban hostel on street with great cafes, Sat markets, big swimming pool facility in nearby Vic Park and good bus route directly to city. Nice bbq on roof on Fri night. Not too social at night which suited us.

when we arrived there was no bedding available. we left hostel and were told that there would be someone there to give us our bedding when we got back after midnight. on arriving back at 12.15 reception was closed and person on duty had gone out to shop and would be back in 10 minutes. 30 mins... more when we arrived there was no bedding available. we left hostel and were told that there would be someone there to give us our bedding when we got back after midnight. on arriving back at 12.15 reception was closed and person on duty had gone out to shop and would be back in 10 minutes. 30 mins later they arrived back. we finally got to bed around 1. we were exhausted by this time as we had been up since 6. so my only criticism is please buy some more bedding so there is enough to go round when you are fullclose
