Watch out for the drunk Irish man in room 7 other than that this place is great. When i had a compliant they dealt with it straight away and switched my room without any issue and without extra charge. the people are friendly, if you get the right room and the hostel is pretty well located-5 minute walk from kings cross train station and 20 minutes walk from town. potts point is really nice area to stay in too, especially when you compare it to kings cross down the road. the staff are excellent.
