The Village Glebe

Very good place

It was nothing special. The toilets weren't very good, and the kitchen was really dirty. I've never seen anything like it. I didn't cook there because it was too gross. It smelled so bad that I was about to throw up. Furthermore, they stated that the remaining amount should be paid upon arrival, but they still chose to withdraw the money from my account two days before my arrival. This incurred quite a few fees, as my friend was supposed to pay upon arrival, not me, so he had to send money to me instead (extra fees). I am writing this via email. They apologized profusely and seemed like they wanted to try to find a solution. However, I haven't heard from them since.

Nice hostel not far from Central Station. Clean and quiet and there are activities for guests to meet other guests. Some rooms are with private bathrooms. Friendly staff especially Dhiraj at the reception. There are many restaurants nearby.

This hostel was okay. Not good value for money though the rooms are fairly clean however the bathrooms and the kitchen are mank. We had snot on our tap and all over the walls that wasn’t once cleaned up during our stay. the hostel is quite far away from anything in the city. Staff were nice just a shame about the cleanliness 🤷🏼‍♀️

The staff were really lovely and helpful. The room however was a converted basement that probably shouldn't have been used as a sleeping room. It smelt of damp and mould and my daughter had health/breathing issues. The other guests created noise late into the night, talking on phones outside our window so we didn't sleep well. The fridge was leaking water and seemed unstable. There was no soap in the shower, which I would have expected for the cost. On a positive note, the room was clean and if I was a young person and was travelling, I think it would be a good option to stay and meet other young people. It was a good distance from Glebe shopping village and the bay.

Wouldn’t recommend. Have stayed at nicer hostels in Sydney. There wasn’t great bathroom facilities - not enough toilets or showers for the capacity. There was a severe lack of sinks which I didn’t realise would be such an issue but is! The bathrooms were often dirty and not cleaned regularly. There was a lack of toilet paper constantly. The bed was uncomfortable and pillow was hard. Beds were very loud to get in and out of so felt like I was waking everyone in the room whenever I needed the bathroom. The staff were fine but not overly helpful. On check in we weren’t advised where the kitchen or lounge area was, or what the check out protocol was. When we checked out the staff never advised us what to do with the bed linen. Location was grand for Sydney, a bit further out but wasn’t really a hinderance. There was good public transport. For reference I have stayed at two other Sydney hostels, and plenty of hostels up and down the east coast.

I paid for a single room, staff was good and room is clean overall. However, someone banged the front door all night or the door is generally shut with loud noise, it wasn’t a good experience.

good staff with clean shared space happy to be here alway there to help or have a talk with you, Atakan at the office!! :)
