Lets start with the good... Location was perfect, right across from the beach and 5 minute walk to closest grocery store. Cool people working there and were helpful. Met some really cool travelers from around the world, really chill vibe there, but certainly more of a young party crowd. Lots of fun activities planned. Wine an cheese night, pizza night, and a great guided walk to Coogee beach.
Definitely could be a lot better. There are NOT enough bathrooms for the amount of people. Only two private toilets on each floor - other toilet was in the female shower room - So three possible toilets for females on a floor with at least 20-30 others. Gotta get up early to use them and the sinks are small and annoying when your trying to wash your face or brush your teeth. There also weren't any hooks in any of the toilet rooms, could be quite an easy fix and makes a huge difference.
The kitchen was always crowded, so unless you go in at odd hours, you'll be fighting for space, so I would just go down, look in the kitchen and almost immediately walk out and get take away, which adds up. Also, not the hostels issue because they keep all the tags of food they've taken, but someone took my groceries out of the fridge, which I had just enough for my last breakfast before checkout...had to spend 15 at McDonalds for coffee and sandwich because breakfast everywhere else was 20 .
The rooms were decent sizes, and thankfully they are on top of vacuuming/cleaning due to lots of sand.
