The Village Surry Hills - Hostel

My experience was average. Yhe check in was excellent and very efficient. Yhe room was mot so well kept. The facilities could hsbe been better.

For the price we paid, we had a great stay in Sydney, so this place offers great value for money if you want a private room. The kitchen was too small for cooking in and the communal areas weren’t the cleanest. The bed wasn’t amazingly comfy. The local area is great, lots of cafes and restaurants. Overall, good value for money but not the best.

Great location, clean, staff were friendly and helpful. Only down side was that the room I was in was opposite the 24 hour kitchen which meant it was noisy during the night.

if the water pressure for shower higher just like the kitchen, it will be great.

I stayed at the village for a night awhile back and I didn’t love my time there. Staff weren’t very friendly right off the bat. The room I had was a mixed dorm and there were beer bottles everywhere and the floor of the bathroom by the toilet was completely wet. There was no shower so I’m trying to not imagine what the liquid was. Although it’s not necessarily the village’s responsibility to make sure people don’t have drinks in rooms it’d be nice if people were more encouraged to leave them out of the rooms. I did feel a bit unsafe although everything was fine, but that feeling comes with the area. Overall it wasn’t an awful stay but it definitely wasn’t great. It is a party hostel so if that’s your vibe great, but the price I paid for a 1 night stay was not good.

So I have stayed at this hostel before but I stayed in the first building and it was great and this time I stayed in the second building where reception is and it was awful. The kitchen was so dirty, there was marks on all the cups and plates and cutlery. There was also birds and flys in the kitchen, they were all picking at the free food box. The rooms were disgusting, there was mold on the ceiling and I’m sure that’s why I have such a tight chest now and I’ve been coughing so much. The bathroom had dirt all over the floor. The receptionist was the most miserable person ever. Everyone is just so miserable.

Unique and quirky little complex. Clean and secure, quiet at night. Private ensuite room was exactly what I needed; aircon and bedding very decent.

Good for backpackers. Separate bathroom. Clean room but sparse. A TV would be good.

Not good beds, just 1 shower for 12 people

Place is just terrible. OK but very limited hostel (no towels provided, idk what they meant by "semi-open bathroom" on the twin room when it was just a bathroom shared with the rest of the hostel. All access was via a digital key so we had to have a smartphone on us and charged at all times. (It was also a mission downloading digital key - had to install a third party app, hand over plenty of personal information not at all relevant to the stay). Basic amenities like the kitchen were not accessible after 10pm. Prices were completely extortionate - for a twin room that literally had a mini fridge, two single beds and two (bad) pillows (total), with bathrooms we could barely use as they were usually occupied, we paid over AU$300 a night. Cannot recommend staying away from this hovel more.

Bad attention when checking in, the rooms were not ready and I had to wait more hours. The common areas were dirty as were the beds.

One rat was in the deck

On first appearance the room seemed clean, however there were so many cockroaches. I lost count of how many i saw/killed. Definitely a pest control problem.

The kittchen may be more clean, but the rest was very good.

This is a great hostel. Safe, clean and quiet and really close to everything I needed. An easy walk to the station to get to the airport too. Definitely worth it!

Great stay for me! Location is prime, very clean and well equipped hostel! Big 'Thank You' to Paula the best receptionist in the hostel - so helpful and super efficient! Really good place to stay in Sydney!

Maya the receptionist was very friendly. She went out of her way to swap me to another room because I had a bad back. I was very happy I did not have to sleep on the top bunk bed.

Loved the building itself. It's beautiful. The location was well positioned to Central station and parklands and ethnic cuisine. I haven't stayed in a back packers - ever! So it felt bizarre sharing a room with 3 strangers. But no snorers, and they were obviously seasoned backpackers who were respectful of noise and lighting. Felt safe. Everyone keeps to themselves. Good bed. Clean sheets.

Room adequate, close to transport. Fridge rattled, windows and blinds need urgent repairs. Shower light flickered. Toilet roll holder too close to toilet seat, and i'm a size 10 :/

Easy walk to train station. The room was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I was totally discussed with staff telling me that they dont take people over the age of 35yrs old, well i had book in online and they should be sacked for discrimination. Totally horrified at there rules when they should say this on line, oh but hey i guess they cant as they would benstruck of the list of back packers. Not happy.........?

Best hostel in Sydney with super efficient and helpful staff! Thanks!

Great hostel. Amazing staff, especially Bea!

I booked 4 nights 26-30 Nov in The Village Surrey Hills on the Expedia website. When I showed up I was refused a bed due to my age. I asked the manager to show me the rules of this 18-35 AGE RESTRICTION. She refused. I asked her to speak to someone higher up.. refused! I asked her who owns the company,no info. She was of no help! I wanted to show her my booking so she could see there is NO mention anywhere while booking on Expedia of this restriction or even in the rule etc. in confirmation email from Expedia. I still have not received a refund from the hostel I was told I'd be getting. AVOID!

Easy walk to train station. The room was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I like the place, convenient to the city, place is nice and clean.Staff is amazing, definitely recommended. :)

They did not let me check in was stranded for the night

Property was well managed and in a convenient location. Stayed one night in a double room. I would stay again.
