Had lots of activities and good for meeting people at the bar scene and common areas. Accommodation itself was super basic and old. Had private room that was extremely small and expensive. Location was great with lots within walking distance, but was kind of a dodgy area.
Kendra
Clean room and great socials out on by staff!
Hannah

Omar
Some staff are more helpful than others, but overall great stay thank you.

Omar
Fantastic hostel. Hands down one of the cleanest, and the staff are really well behaved and knowledgable. cheers for the stay.
Chandradip
No laundry service
Agustin
I had reserved for 5 days in a room for 4 people and after the first night they canceled and wanted for mi to pay extra to get an individual room. I was very disappointed and will not recommend this hostal since they were very hostile towards me. Expedia did not inform of age limit and they do have an age limit. Being older than the age limit they canceled me, but offered to stay at another room for an extra 100 aud per night. Horrible experience. Never again. Expedia needs to check on hostal's policies.
Thomas
Clean room , shower could be better but overall all good
John
I enjoyed my stay .Check in was easy and the staff were very friendly and helpful.The room was clean and comfortable and the location is excellent.
Zachary
Just be aware that getting a towel requires a $15 AUD deposit and you get 10 back when you return the towel
Molly
All nice apart from no water for 3 night and we’re not notified on the first 2
David
Very clean facility and excellent location.
Jane
Central train station across is nice. Staff are awesome. Clean facilites. Quiet place other than people coming in and out of the room makes for a lot of click and door slams. No outside noise and no partying. Ear plugs help with all the coming and going. I realize it is a dorm. Bathroom is clean.

The door slamming, all day all night, is unbearable. The hotel should do something about it. Housekeepers shows they're vacuuming but the is a pile of dust behind the bedroom door. In slite of that, the staff is very professional and courteous. Bus, tram and trains are just steps away.
Mingzhen
We stayed in long narrow room with an entire wall of west facing windows. The temperature outside was 96 F. The room heats up pretty badly. The furniture wasn’t comfortable either.

Chris
Room clean and staff nice
Bich Ngoc
Depends on the staff, some are nicer than others. Someone randomly took off my clothes from the dryer when it’s not done so when I got my clothes it’s all damp. Staff partied harder than guests. They were on the tables dancing and yelling in the common room/kitchen.
Thatchanok

Eric
Central, clean, fit for purpose. No privacy curtain.
Dominique
Very nice and clean stay! Will be back!
Marketa
The hostel was geared toward young travelers. It is convenient to a train station (and airport train) and has lots of shopping and dining around. The two guest bunk room I rented was tiny but adequate ,communal showers and toilets old but clean. Loved the over sized window in the tiny room. 24 hour staff was helpful.
Diana
Excellent location for train travel and they have fantastic showers. Only down side is you maybe able to hear the noise from the nightclub below, depending on the floor you are on.
Jamima
Will be coming back
Yani
The staff very helpful
Nabilah
Superb location. Staff was extremely nice. Love that we're able to store our luggage after checkout if we have a later flight.
dahlia
if you are not too picky and on limited budget, or just need a place to sleep while away like me, this is an excellent choice.
Cora
Such a lovely hostel, the first one I stayed in when I arrived in Australia and the last one I stayed in before I left. Definitely my favourite out of them all. Can’t fault it at all! Very clean bathrooms and bedrooms. I did shared rooms and a private room and both were fab!
Billie
I had a private room with the shared bathroom, it was small but clean and surprisingly quiet, so it was perfect for what I wanted.
Xiao lei
The location is unbeatable—right next to Central Station. Both the beds and the shared bathrooms are very clean, and the hostel even offers a free walking city tour. The kitchen is spacious, well-managed, and perfect for cooking your own meals. I would definitely choose to stay here again the next time I visit Sydney.

This is a great venue for a budget traveller

Extremely close to Central Station and perfect spot for a short getaway to Sydney. Ample room to store breakfast items and drinks in the kitchen fridges. Love the individual light and power point for each bed. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Sydney Central is the weakest link in my opinion, simply due to how it is run. The target audience for this hostel is 18-30 years. If you are outside of this age group, you may notice they may give you different treatment, esp if you are much older. I had an unpleasant experience with the

I was happy that the staff checked me in early in the morning before the official time and the upgrade. The building has been renovated. The room is small but clean. My only complaint is that the toilet bowls were dirty. I blame it on the design because it is deep and the pool of water is small, like a well. So lots of poops stuck above the water. I suggest the management taking a look at American ones of which the pool is wider and no well

It was in a very convenient spot within the Sydney CBD. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Vibes within the place were immaculate. The shared toilets were mostly clean. The laundry was also very easy and convenient to access. Great stay overall. Would consider booking again if I ever came back to Sydney.

Bring your own pillows and towels
The location is great… close to central train station. The common bathroom has spacious shower area. Hair dryer and toiletries are provided as well. We booked a room good for 3 pax. The AC is central. But was really disappointed with the pillows, blanket and towels. They smell like rust. We had to buy our own pillows and towels from Big W.

Perfect for a late night flight arrival and early rail connection next morning. Room was clean and roomy and comfy bed for an older couple. Hotel very busy but no noise issues. Staff very helpful.

Great hostel. Perfect location - a stones throw from central station and the light rail. Everywhere felt very clean
Jacob
Great hostel! Don’t have too much experience with hostels but was a good experience all around. Very close to Central Station, made it easy to get around.
They clearly did their best to keep it clean and it showed. For location & that alone, would stay again.

Not really the best option
Very disappointed in the room basic for what I paidA long way to the shared bathroom. Better to get a shared room which is a much better price. Someone told me there are much more affordable rooms about 2 min walk (well that info was a bit late for this trip). Nothing open for coffee till 8 I was told. So left for the central station without having a hot drink.

Nice place
Hostel itself is good, they have a lot of activities every night. Many people staying at the hostel were doing group tours which made it a bit difficult to meet people since many already had groups when just solo traveling. Great location, close to the bus stop, stores, and central train.

i had a item stolen from my room

Perfect if you need a cheap bed in the city!!!

I had an excellent stay at Wake Up! Sydney. The hostel was clean, the reception is open 24/7 (a big plus!), and the location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Central Station, with easy access to food, bars, restaurants, and shops.
The shared bathrooms were very clean, and there’s also a well-equipped community kitchen where you can cook and store your own food, which is super convenient for budget travelers. However, there’s no parking available, so plan accordingly if you're driving.
The only downside was the air conditioning. It’s on full blast all the time, and I found it way too cold. It would be great if they allowed guests to adjust the settings for a more comfortable experience.
Overall, it’s a fantastic option, especially for convenience, cleanliness, and amenities, but bring a sweater and plan for alternative parking if needed!

We have stayed here before and the room was larger, paid extra for ensuite this time and very disappointed. Whole unit was far too small for an ensuite room. No where to put luggage, except for under the bed, so every time you needed something from your suitcase was to retrieve suitcase from under the bed. Bed against one wall and the only way for this person to get up, was to either wake partner to get up, or crawl to end of the bed, especially during the night if using the bathroom. Last stay we were offered a voucher for light meal/breakfast in cafe on ground floor for breakfast, not this time, even though asking if this was possible. There needs to be a ramp to take luggage into the building, only way to enter without climbing entrance stairs, is through the Roy's cafe.

It was great

Nice Joint
Only there for one night, so effectively used to sleep only. Hostel is really nice with great staff and amenities. Great location across the road from Central.

The room I had on the sixth floor was rather warm and stuffy with limited air flow from the air conditioning. The staff were excellent and the premises very clean and tidy.

Good location, easy transport to and from airport, walking distance from main harbour, Sydney opera house and harbour bridge. Seemed quiet at night time

Great place to stay
The hostel is great, lots of people from all over and a very friendly atmosphere. I was able to check in early and considering I had just arrived from London it was super helpful. The beds were clean although when I was on the 7th floor it got very hot at night. The events the hostel runs were fun and were great value for money.
However the Side Bar adjacent to the hostel have horrible door men, If you are a black or middle eastern man good luck being allowed in. I was with my group of friends twice in a row \"sorry mate not tonight\" where as the rest of the group allowed in, considering the second time I didn't even have a drink before due to being weary about the bouncers. When I told him I sober as he claimed I walked past him, so did the rest of the group?

Perfect hostel for the price. You have good availability with showers/bathrooms, good amount of cooking stations and fridges/drawers to store food in and feels much more organized than other places in the area

My stay at Wake Up! Sydney was great! The facilities were easy to use and everyone was friendly. The staff was amazing, friendly, and supportive. David and Yuen in particular were terrific tour guides, enthusiastic and outgoing. They were always there to answer questions and help make Sydney a city that I want to come back to.

I never knew there was this type of lodging until i experienced this one. It is of great saving to lodge in an affordable property like this when the need for lodging is for transit to another state from a travel or even while living here. I will always return to lodge here if i find myself stranded during any travel to Sydney. Thank you for making life affordable for all. You need more advertisement around the Sydney Airport- a little flashy advert of the affordability and name can do for people who need quick stay-over solution to continue their journey another day.

Fabulous stay. We always use backpacker hostels in Sydney. First time here, will be back. Terrific staff

All was great. Walls could use some insulation:)
Tina
Good location close to trains and light rail.

super central location. Also for me as oldie good place (most of the guests could be my kids ;-) ).
But really bad is that I as a guest could not turn off or at least reduce the aircondition

Location is great however it is let down by parties by guests that continue to 2am, by no tea/coffee making facilities in our room, general untidiness outside the hotel and surrounds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. In my opinion this hotel should be advertised as accommodation for young singles and those under 40. It certainly seemed to suit them. As older guests we found it did not suit us as well as we would have liked.

Liked it
Carly
The \"sound proof\" rooms were not sound proof which distributed my sleep due to noise coming from the night club in the basement
Libby
This hostel was super handy with its location right next to the station. I was so relieved to be just across the road when my train arrived into Sydney. Roy's Cafe was superb and the staff were incredible at their job, producing consistently high quality food and drinks with a smile on their face, even with an endless stream of customers. I wish there had been an option to tip via card, as I didn't have cash on me. The recommendations of what to do in Sydney provided by the hostel through a QR code were a life-saver for me and gave me some great ways to spend my time in the city. I did struggle to sleep because of very loud building works just outside my window, but there was nothing the hostel could do to change that situation whilst I was there, as there were no other rooms available for me to move into. Overall, I had a great time and would recommend!

As hostels go this is up there as one of the best ones I’ve stayed at. The location is the best part. It’s in Haymarket which is very central and a cool neighborhood with great food options. Across the street from Central Train Station. There are trams everywhere. I walked to the CBD without any issues.
The facility is clean and well organized. The bunk beds are secured to the wall so if someone moves it doesn’t shake the whole thing. The staff was friendly and of course there’s the cafe and club right there. I never heard any noise at night from the club. Overall 4.5/5

Hostel with a very young vibe. Best for those in their early 20's. More of a youth hostel
