Great facilities, great location and great staff! Everything was always clean and the beds were comfortable. Loads of cool spots in walking distance. Staff are friendly and super helpful. Loved their rooftop area, especially on movie night, you get to see the city in a whole new light with the added bonus of a free drink and some popcorn. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Loved my stay at the Downing! Perfect location, the kitchen is so nice, rooms have brand new comfy mattresses, and there’s different social activities every eve so you can easily get to know everyone. The managers are lovely and really inclusive, would defo stay again!

Great hostel! The location is perfect, you’re very central making everything easily accessible. The staff were all super friendly and they put on a different activity every night so it’s easy to socialise and meet other backpackers. Dorms are also simple and clean, but very comfy. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re coming to Sydney!

The staff are unreal, good facilities and great location. Would recommend if staying in Sydney!
Happy and friendly staff make sure that your visit is enjoyable and making you want to come back again and again.
I stayed here for 2 nights on the weekend. Staff are amazing. Super friendly and helped me with any queries I had. They also told me some cool spots to visit & cheap places for food/drinks. The hostel itself is basic but all that you need really. Within walking distance of everything and train station near by. I Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay
