A very efficient and well-run hostel which provided almost everything we needed. The room was spotless, the beds comfortable, the bathrooms clean, ... a good choice for budget accommodation in central Sydney. more

The Wake Up Hostel in Sydney is one of the most professionally-run hostels we stayed in when travelling the East Coast of Australia. Key cards (which sometimes did seem to stop working and had to be 'recharged' at reception) were state-of-the-art, only allowing you access to the floor that your bedroom is on in the lift, ensuring that only genuine... more
