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!

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.

6/10 Okay

Ok
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.

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