"The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. When they found out I was travelling with my child, they kindly upgraded our room! My child absolutely loved the bunk bed, and we had a very comfortable stay.
The location was also excellent — in a quiet residential neighbourhood, just about a five-minute walk from the train station. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place!"

"It’s ok considering what jt is a hotel. It’s very homely and friendly guests friendly staff. I love how it’s close to Broadway shopping centre 25 mins walk plus there’s lots of walking paths nearby. The kitchen amenities are great fully equipped kitchen and rules posted everywhere about cleanliness. I’m just amazed at how our food in our individual boxes in cupboards and pantry are safe always. And there’s a coffee machine 24 hours. Just a simple friendly hostel. Thank you"

I am a female and was traveling solo. Stayed in a 4 person co-ed room with 3 male roommates and had a great experience. I slept on the top bunk and the bed was extremely comfortable. The locker space was spacious. I fit my carry-on suitcase and full backpack along with some other bags in there. The room and spaces were clean. I packed my own lock and a small noise machine. If you are a light sleeper, would definitely recommend bringing ear plugs/eye mask, but otherwise everyone was respectful...

I was a 60-year-old solo traveler in Sydney on a budget. The Pod was excellent, and the owner always went out of his way to make sure of everyone's comfort and input. I would say that the only negative were the pillows, which were too thick and firm. It would be great if they could provide softer ones as a side choice.

If you’re looking to get “out” of Sydney without actually leaving, this is the perfect spot. Such a peaceful place to relax and read a book, or fuel your adventurous side and go for a kayak or a hike to the top of a lookout. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path, this is it. The owners Sarah and Michael are also some of the kindest people I’ve ever met and will make you feel at home and provide excellent tips for around the area.

Staff was super friendly, upgraded my friends and I to a much preferred room and were super easy to talk to and ask questions of, great host! Location was prime next to Coogee; just a bummer that lockers had to be paid for

Stayed on a solo trip for a week. First time
In Australia and I found the hostel was a good fit for me I had the private room with en suite bathroom which was nice. It’s perfect for a solo traveler or a couple.
