Dan took me and my friend on a city tour around Sydney, showed us some amazing sights and had some great knowledge which helped us settle into and properly appreciate Sydney. Would really recommend going on a tour with Dan, he's genuinely lovely and made our first experience in Australia unforgettable. The staff on the check in are super helpful and helped me removed a padlock from my bag with no fuss! I was greeted warmly and even able to check in a little early. Rooms are clean, spacious, and private, one of the best hostels out there. Super close to all the main attractions Sydney has to offer and incredibly easy to get to from the train station. Really recommend!!

I stayed at this hostel for 9 nights. The rooms are fine if you’re lucky enough to get a quiet one, and the bottom bunks give you some privacy because you can close the curtain. The cleaning staff are constantly cleaning the common areas and bathrooms, so everything is generally quite clean. The kitchen is the busiest area. If you’re Spanish, just keep in mind that it closes from 1:50 pm to 3 pm, so try to have lunch before or after that. In the evening, it closes around 9:30–10 pm. They organise activities every day, such as exploring the city, visiting a famous beach, or simply doing activities to meet other people. At the weekends, they have a kind of pre-party in the afternoon so you can get into the vibe and meet people. Afterwards, they give you tickets to go downstairs and party. Personally, if you’re from Spain, I’d say the nightlife is just okay, as we’re used to something different. But if you’re with good friends, you can still have a great time. Overall, if your goal is to meet people and explore the city, it’s a great option. It’s super central and there’s a really good atmosphere.

Me and my friend stayed in this hostel for 5 days and 4 nights and all I can say is that it is hands down one of the best places I have ever stayed. The staff were so lovely and helpful, particularly Adam who helped us plan our east coast itinerary and secure good deals on activities, and Alex who was a great tour leader. The hostel is very social with the ability to meet loads of people, running daily events and sometimes free drinks, plus it’s located within close proximity to the centre of Sydney so very easy to get around, we particularly liked the walk down to Circular Quay and the Opera House! The only bad thing was that on one morning at 8:30 we were woken up unexpectedly by drilling and building works in the room next door, but that did not ruin the stay at all, and I’m hoping to return again soon. Thank you :)

I have been staying in Wake Up Sydney Central for multiple times and I have to say this hostel is just amazing. I have stayed in different rooms they are all very clean and have a lot of charging ports. Now they also have the gym room and sauna! The location is perfect, it is just by the Central Train Station. Just 2 mins walk and you can go anyplace in Sydney. People are very nice here especially the staffs, they are all happy to help and have smile on their faces. Celina is a really nice staffs to me, whenever she helps me with the accommodation, she always show her professionalism and puts on her smile. They also have a counter for travelling advice in Sydney, so if anyone wants any guidance for spending time in Sydney, Travel Up!, is where you can get recommendation and discount for. Enjoy the stay!

Josh and Hugo are absolute superheroes! They do such an amazing job, and honestly, this is the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Sydney. Everything works perfectly, it’s super clean, the atmosphere is great, and it’s close to everything. And Nora, the manager, is absolutely fantastic, super friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about hospitality. You can really tell how much she cares about the guests and the whole experience. Highly recommend this place!

You have to understand, i came from america and when I visited i wanted to stay all night long. I cannot express how much i appreciate sophie, because she’s like no other bartender and activities supervisor, Most people make your drinks and on to the next. But sophie, made me realize why im here in the first place. To enjoy the short moments in life with the people you didn’t expect to me. The way she cares and values making sure people enjoy themselves is why i will always be back. Give sophie a raise.

I had a great stay at Wake Up! Sydney. The location is perfect—right in the city center and close to public transport, which made getting around really easy. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always available if I needed anything. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a really fun and social atmosphere. I especially liked how easy it was to meet other travelers. There are also plenty of activities organized, which makes the experience even better. Especially thanks to Zoe & Dan
