Wake Up! Bondi Beach

Great place to stay! First time in Australia and it set the bar high for hostels. Close to all amenities would highly recommend

Great staff, new and clean, awesome location. The rooftop is incredible, great view. Unfortunately there are few comfortable places to sit. The rooftop has nice seating but if the weather is bad or after the rooftop closes for the day, all inside areas are particularly uncomfortable. All common areas are also closed at 10pm, leaving only a few uncomfortable benches near reception available.

Great hostel, perfect location for beach and transport. Free surfboard hire and lots of good activities in morning and evening.

Bondi Backpackers is THE place to stay on the beach. The best staff, excellent location, and perfect vibe.

On check-in we were informed there may be some building work on floor 2 but not to worry as we were on floor 3. It was in fact floor 3 which was a complete building site. In the corridor there was no carpet, builders walking around and their equipment around our room door. In the room we had no blinds or curtains, there was an extremely strong paint smell and scaffolding directly outside the window. For obvious security reasons we were unable to leave the window open to help the paint smell, not to mention the clear invasion of privacy with the window being directly behind the bed. I asked for a temporary window blind which could not be provided. As it was late we could not find another room but were informed the manager would be there the following morning and we would be able to receive a refund for the remaining nights. The next morning we woke at 6am to the sound of builders shouting over their drills. On checking out the manager was completely unapologetic. I have since read other reviews where this building work was mentioned as a problem 5 months ago. I certainly should have been informed of this work upon booking or at least by email following this. These rooms should not be available and certainly not at full price whilst building work continues. As this building work is not advertised prior to arrival it seems the hotel is trying to deceive its guests in the hope they pay anyway...

I booked a single room at 2nd floor and it’s was very basic with a wall fan but it’s fine for me. I didn’t feel cold or warm. This backpacker hostel is surprisingly not noisy. The wifi worked well in my room too. The toilet and shower room were always clean. There are many free activities in this hostel. Overall, the stay was good.

There was so much construction and although they were apologetic, they began work drilling beside the room at around 7 am all day. One day the door to the room was being fixed and was propped open all day. Next, due to construction most bathrooms and showers were out of service. I waited forever just to get in. I think once construction is done the place will be great again. Lots to do, planned events, close to the beach. The construction really ruined it for me!

Très propre, très bien entretenu. Pas beaucoup de service, juste une cuisine, une salle de télévision pas très agréable et un roof top sans charme. Rapport qualité/ prix élevé juste pour une chambre avec salle de bain commune

Danke für die tolle Zeit bei euch. Es war ein Vergnügen. Die Lage ist der Hammer.
