Wake up! Sydney Central recensioner

Hotel is very clean though it's a bit small. Location is excellent and visible from the train station - Central.

This is the one of best hotels near to bus and train stations near to markets and halal food I come here for 3 night and say 6 night i cancel the other hotel booking

Location: Located in Haymarket, very close to Central Train Station and Haymarket Light Tram Station, there are bunch of restaurants and supermarkets (just within 3-10 mins walk) around the area which is very convenient for quick access to food, coffee/drinks and groceries. Reception: Reception is very welcoming and friendly, also they provide services like help collecting letters and packages, printing services (1 copy is free yet multiple copies charge $0.2 per page), coin exchange etc. There’s a great open area in front of the reception where you can find sofas and a long workstation available for people to rest and work, the design is also very good. Facilities: There’re a café (Roy’s Café), a bar/club (Side Bar) and a travel agency (Travel Up!) in the building, making my stay very accessible to all the things I need be it coffee or drinks or a travel advice. Kitchen: Kitchen is on the 1/F, it’s relatively spacious. There’re 2 huge fridges and a locker wall for us to store our food. There’re total 8 stoves, 4 sinks, 3-4 microwaves, 1 oven and 1 hot water tap where you can have boiling hot water right away. All utensils are provided so that’s very convenient. Overall the kitchen area has exceeded my expectations. Dorm area: My dorm is on the 4th floor, it’s relatively quiet. And because we’ll need our badges to access the elevator so the security is quite good as well. From the picture you can tell the dorm and hallway are clean enough, also the bathroom is very clean just I didn’t take a picture but it’s clean and comfortable. Also I love the interior design which made it looks aesthetic in a clean way. Just sometimes the dorm room might smells a little bit if your roommates bring in something smelly cuz you’re not able to open the window and the AC is not strong enough. Laundry: There’s also a laundry room each floor, 2 washing machines ($6 each wash, if you need laundry detergent from the reception that will be another $1) and 2 dryers ($4 each use) are equipped, they are big enough to consume a lot of clothes at once which is very good. It could get quite busy at night so I suggested to set an alarm when doing your laundry if you don’t want your clothes being taken out by others. Events: There are free / cheap events every day and every night, if you are a social person you’ll love it. All the volunteers and staff there are really welcoming and they will knock your door to give you invitations, I really love their enthusiasm! Been to wine and cheese night on a Wed night, vibes is good. So definitely recommend this hostel if you love meeting new people through events. After it’s definitely a great stay at Wake Up! Sydney Central and I’d recommend it to people who love a vibrant hostel environment like this.

I have working holiday visa so awesome place and very nice people that

Stayed for 3 nights at the females only 4 bed room, it was my first experience staying in a room with strangers. I felt awkward at first but quickly adapted thanks to clear signs on where the ladies toilets(and showers) are, laundry room, and kitchen. Location is really the best highlight of this place where the light rail and bus stop are only 1 minute walk, and the central station is a 2 minutes walk (metro, train). Surrounding area is very close to the city center and so many cafes/restaurants to get food from. One night I nearly not able to grab my food that I kept in the communal kitchen’s fridge, because I just learned at that time the kitchen is closed at 10pm. They have free activities being offered everyday, which was nice, and I did join on the free city walk on a friday morning. Some noise can be heard especially if your room mate or next room’s guests make a lot of noises, but it is subject depending on the other people. Perfect if you don’t carry too many luggages or for a short trip. Considering the budget price, I would choose this place again for my next short trip to sydney.

This place is perfect if you wanna meet new people and go party. It’s full of UK and Irish people who likes to party whole night. It’s fun tho

Best hostel in Sydney, always clean and friendly. The staff are attentive and helpful and are very accommodating

Likewise it's dormitory if not crowded you're lucky but good time to mingle

Great location within walking distance of good sights. Room was clean and showers and toilets were better than I imagined! Not a lover of sharing but it wasn’t bad at all. Was able to store my luggage there when I couldn’t check in yet, and after I checked out. Reception area was nice and welcoming. Would have been nice to have had towels provided or at least got the full amount back on return. Seems a little odd having to pay for them and give them back, if I’d have known I would have taken my own. Didn’t have time to eat in the cafe downstairs as there were so many other places in Sydney I wanted to visit but it looked good! The noise in the club below was very loud and did keep me awake until the early hours!

It was a wonderful experience. There are a plenty of activities and the facilities are great. The room is clean. But be in mind that they only provide a soap.

Smelly pillow case with hair stocked on bedding, floor

Would recommend to anyone traveling to Sydney. Close to everything, staff was friendly and supportive.

Basic but has everything you need. Good social activities.

Very central location, clean and modern rooms and facilities, a lot of offers for trips and includes a bar/nightclub
