Wake Up! Sydney 509 Pitt Street, Haymarket, New South Wales 2000

"Amazing hostel with a bar and cafe downstairs. You have everything you need at Wake Up! and the staff are great. Especially, Eve on front desk. She was so helpful to me. Thank you, Eve! The only reason I can't give 5* is because the windows in the rooms don't open and there is no air circulation... so it gets very stuffy. Also, the sanitary bin in the women's toilets was full to the brim for 2+ days. Please consider cleaning them more often."

"Great staff and facilities available. Very Clean bathrooms and showers. Rooms tidy and beds comfy. Other travellers very friendly. Don't for get to bring a towel otherwise $5 + $10 for deposit. Lots of cool mostly free or cheap activities to do with other people staying there. Great Location right next to the central train station, buses and light rail. Highly recommend for new travellers or first time hostel users like I was."

"Incredible place and experience! Location was fantastic being right next to central station and just a short walk into the CBD and to the harbour! Staff were lovely and happy to help out with anything! We stayed in a private room as there was a group of us travelling and it honestly had everything we needed! We had no issues with noisiness during our stay other than the occasional bump on the walls or a train horn from the station. Facilities were clean and showers had great heat and water pressure which was greatly appreciated especially it being winter! Wake Up had so many events that you could join in on each day and the side bar underneath the building was incredible for meeting new people and having fun! Good security at night which, as a group of girls travelling, was very appreciated and good to see. Overall would 100% stay here again next time I am in Sydney!"

"This is a great hostel and perfect for the solo traveler or if you are on a budget. Very close walking distance to and from central train station and Haymarket light rail. The rooms are really nice and kept clean, well maintained. I was in a four bed mixed dorm, so the smaller the dorm room is, the more cosy it is. There are lockers for each person available, but you will need to speak to the staff at reception and they are friendly and helpful. The bathrooms and showers are also nice and well maintained. The service is really good, staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. You will have to pay deposit for towels if you require but most of it is refundable after you check out. However, this place, rooms and service is really good and the price is well suited for budget travellers or if you want to mix with other travellers. I would recommend a visit to this place."

"Great location. It was right next to the train station. Very easy to get to and from the airport. The staff were super friendly. I was able to check in early which was great. This location had elevators which was also a bonus cause when I stayed at wake up in bondi it was difficult to haul my suitcase up 6 flights of stairs. Vending machines for drinks/snacks awesome. Great place to meet other travelers/new friends. Showers were good, lots of space in there I Didn’t feel to crammed. Lots of activities they offered which was another bonus. I will definitely stay here if I come back"
