+The place is amazing, very clean, great kitchen, well located and friendly staff
−Its an old refurbished building and there aren’t many power outlets (just 1 in the room with an extension cord) so you can’t charge your phone and easily turn off your alarm, you gotta charge it before and keep it near you.

“Absolutely amazing experience! 🌟”
+Absolutely amazing experience! I had a wonderful stay at The Pad Hostel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organised, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. They offer so many fantastic free extras, including Pilates classes, free pizza once a week, and breakfast every morning with fresh fruit and coffee. The staff and the overall vibe made the experience even better. Excellent value for money and a place I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Sydney. I would definitely stay here again! 🌟

“Best hostel I have ever stayed in”
+The owner operators are very lovely and care a lot about the hostel. The hostel is bright, secure, freshly painted and in a gorgeous heritage building. They have made it feel modern, light and spacious. The beds are very comfy, the bathrooms super clean and there is a lot of fridge and pantry space. They have pizza nights, a movie room, and the people staying are lovely. It's comfortable and the perfect stay for solo female travellers. Loved my time here so much I extended several times. Thank you so much!

“Nice hostel, in slightly quieter neighbourhood. Good for female solo travellers.”
+Good bathroom amenities, clean bedding, social nights were good
−Staff were slightly cliquey, and a fair few WHV long/term guests which made it slightly harder to make friends for short term travellers

−The kitchen is too small, not good equipment, not very clean, without enough space for a number of people. And the breakfast is really disappointing. The room was small and without isolation, it's a big street so it was very noisy. We heard everything that happens in the kitchen, plus the added noise of chairs scraping on the floor. Unbearable. I didn't sleep for 2 nights.

“🇦🇺 My Favourite Hostel in Australia!”
+I had a perfect stay! Everything was great: the hostel is well-equipped, in a fantastic location, the beds are comfortable, the atmosphere is social without being too noisy, and the staff are absolutely lovely! ❤️ Without a doubt, this is the best hostel I've stayed at in Australia. It was a real pleasure staying here, and I hope to come back one day. Thank you, Pad Hostel and the whole team! 😁
−Honestly, there was nothing I didn’t like… except having to leave 🤣
