Booked here in a hurry but I had an awesome time here, nice beds, good showers and it's pretty safe here and it's near Broadway shopping mall and Sydney University so it was cool ... the staff was very helpful, it is self served but for $AUD a night it is worth staying here with regular bus intervals and a lot of restaurants and shops to fill your needs I say Cooper Lodge is amazing

I needed to be in Sydney for a one night stay for work. I chose the private room room with private shower. Comes equipped with a TV and room is private and safe. The only issue with this lodge is that other 'residents' can be noisy and there is no management present over night in order to address this issue.

Good to stay in if you are travelling alone, want to be safe and central and do not want to pay more than about $70 per night.

Very central. Opposite Sydney Uni and Broadway Shopping Centre

Room tip: Choose a private room.

Stayed here for 6 nights while in a desperate situation. The first night I stayed in a private single room. It had a tv, a desk and private shower. The toilets are shared (there are 3). The second night I stayed in a private double room which was smaller, has a TV but no desk and also no ensuite shower. The rest of the nights I stayed in the one of the dorm rooms. The dorm rooms are quite small but there are only 2 bunk beds so it's just enough. I've stayed in hostels before and this is the shabbiest I have ever stayed at. The floors are wooden and there are gaps in them. One time there was a cockroach in the room. There are only 2 showers - can get wet very easily and the hot water is temperamental. There is a kitchen that you can use anytime and a small dining area. The kitchen is pretty well equipped. Can get quite busy as the students who live upstairs also use this kitchen. There is a coin operated washing machine and dryer.

While I will only recommend this hostel if you're really desperate, I have no bad feelings towards this hostel. The staff are friendly and nice. Also, all the rooms are air-conditioned! Towels are given. And in the dorms you are given the key to your own cupboard that is quite spacious. Oh the downside is that the reception is not 24 hours. I think it's only staffed from 9am to 5pm.

This was the nastiest place I have ever been to. The "room" was smaller than my child's bedroom and was not what was advertised. Booked twin beds but got a bunk bed that looked like it would fall apart at any given moment. The so called secure wardrobes did not lock and the television, which was perched on a window sill, could only get one channel which was grainy to say the least. There was no soap in the communal toilets which were not very clean, there was a minute wait for hot water and this only lasted for two minutes. This place is advertised on their website as being recently refurbished. What a load of croc! The room I stayed in had gaping holes in the floorboard and you could see the dirt ground beneath!!! I booked this place due to the good reviews here but Im rather suspicious of them now because this place should not be rented to anyone!

Room tip: Beware...do not book this dreadful place.

I prefer to stay in hotels. This time I decided to try a hostel due to its location
and good price. I have had small problem during checkin - my reservation site didnt
informed the hostel about extension in my stay - but this small problem has been
solved quickly thanks to the smiling australian guy at the reception.

Overall clean room with working air conditioning, clean bathroom (no urine or other
things on the ground - like written in the previous review), free towels,
3 stops (10 minutes by foot) from central station, comfortable bed, extraordinary
good price for time around New Years Eve.

Its the best hostel I have ever stayed in.

Would like to come again!
