Stayed at Mad Monkey Potts Point and loved it. Right in the heart of the action but still quiet enough to sleep well. Staff were friendly and helpful, common areas were clean and social, and the rooms were comfortable. Free breakfast was a nice bonus. Great value for a social stay in Sydney — would definitely come back!
I can't think of anything.

Just minutes away from the train station, shops and loads of cafes. Rooms and common areas cleaned daily and free dinner every night included in your stay! Super social hostel making it easy to make new friends

Absolutely love this hostel, anytime I'm staying in Sydney I always keep coming back. The staff are so friendly, they provide you with enough to keep entertained such as their daily events, TV and games available. The free dinner every night is definitely one of my highlights of staying here as it removes the stress of needing to figure out what to feed myself. And they just got air-conditioners fitted to the rooms which is new and will definitely be helpful in summer months coming up for anyone staying.
Hardly a complaint, but worth mentioning so new arrivals don't get lost. The big vintage sign at the top of the building still says 'Jolly Swagman Backpackers'. While it gives the place a fun nostalgic look, it can throw you off when navigating your way here. Just look for the Mad Monkey Potts Point signage down at eye level by the entrance (there's a few different Mad Monkeys so make sure your art the right one) and once you're inside, everything is top tier!

Central location.
A bit chaotic and messy, but that’s what you pay for I guess.
