The Pod Sydney - Hostel

5/5

A great hostel by Australian standards. Roomy and tall pods with enough space around the mattress to keep a few belongings close by. Each pod has a privacy curtain, power socket, light and a couple of hooks for hanging your jacket/towel/handbag. The mattress was comfortable and they provide bedding, a towel and soap. I stayed during a heatwave and the room was a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The lockers are big enough for a backpack and a few other small items. There was enough space in the room for everyone to leave their suitcases against the wall. The showers were clean and spacious with good hot eater. Kitchen was good enough for basic cooking. Wifi worked fine. My flight arrived late and they were kind enough to let me check in late (the caretaker let me in and provided a temporary key to use until the front desk opened for check in). The only issue was that you can hear the music from a nearby nightclub very loudly until around 3am. It's loud enough that earplugs don't block it out. That said, the location is great - it's central and close to the train station.
