Good hostel to stay in Sydney. Liked the public area a lot. Easy to know new friends there. But the automatic door lock of the room was noisy a bit at night. Didn't like the kitchen has using limit, needed to rush back for making dinner.... more

Wake Up Sydney! is a terrific value which puts you close to the heart of downtown Sydney. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. We stayed in a private room on the 3rd floor for 3 nights. Our room was clean and our beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and there was definitely not a shortage of... more

This was my first stay at a hostel and was about what I expected. It was very similar to college dorm life. I had a private room. Bathrooms were shared and ours was always clean. Street noise was loud, but tolerable. more

When room was ready we were very impressed being the first... more

I've stayed at wakeup before and previously raved. This time, while still happy, I wasn't as impressed. Over all, its a very good hostel. It has brilliant atmosphere, and I'd imagine it'd be fairly easy to make new travel buddies in the dorms. I stayed with my Boyfriend in a private room. The room was as good as last time... more

I think this is a great hostel, just not my style of place. It is a large hostel, with 6 floors and a bar below, in a beautiful brick building right across from the Central bus/train station. The district is called the Haymarket, which is a couple of blocks from Chinatown, and about a 5-10 minute walk to the city... more

Two friends and I stayed at this hostel over the weekend of the 8th/9th of December. We paid a little extra to have a 4 bed room to ourselves and had high hopes for a pleasant hostel as it was rated highly on the site we used. Unfortunately the day of our arrival, there was a sudden downpour that inexplicably... more

Stayed at Wake Up for about 4 weeks in total across 7 months. Had a great time there. Good location, central but still a bit to walk to the city. A really nice hostel. Really big rooms. Comfy beds. Big windows. Fab breakfasts (payable when there). Ace bar downstairs. Cheap pitchers. Friendly nice staff. Clean showers that were hot. Bad... more
