Great place to stay
The hostel is great, lots of people from all over and a very friendly atmosphere. I was able to check in early and considering I had just arrived from London it was super helpful. The beds were clean although when I was on the 7th floor it got very hot at night. The events the hostel runs were fun and were great value for money. However the Side Bar adjacent to the hostel have horrible door men, If you are a black or middle eastern man good luck being allowed in. I was with my group of friends twice in a row "sorry mate not tonight" where as the rest of the group allowed in, considering the second time I didn't even have a drink before due to being weary about the bouncers. When I told him I sober as he claimed I walked past him, so did the rest of the group?

My stay at Wake Up! Sydney was great! The facilities were easy to use and everyone was friendly. The staff was amazing, friendly, and supportive. David and Yuen in particular were terrific tour guides, enthusiastic and outgoing. They were always there to answer questions and help make Sydney a city that I want to come back to.

I never knew there was this type of lodging until i experienced this one. It is of great saving to lodge in an affordable property like this when the need for lodging is for transit to another state from a travel or even while living here. I will always return to lodge here if i find myself stranded during any travel to Sydney. Thank you for making life affordable for all. You need more advertisement around the Sydney Airport- a little flashy advert of the affordability and name can do for people who need quick stay-over solution to continue their journey another day.
