After 7 months travelling Aussie, this place is still the worst we've stayed at. The kitchen is filthy; nothing is EVER cleaned, the bedroom's dark and the stained matresses are infested with bedbugs. The staff were simply a waste of time. Not interested in the guests and certainly no help with jobs or visa's. As for the price - a joke. Still, if you can't afford it there's always space with the homeless drunks on the front lawn.

Just finished a very enjoyable stay at the Jolly Swagman. It's in a great location as it's close to the city and to Bondi Beach. The rooms were clean and the showers were immaculate. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I met a great bunch of people there who I am now travelling with around OZ. I highly recommend this hostel.

I arrived in Sydney from Thailand last November and chose The Jolly Swagman through a friends recomendation. She said that as I was travelling alone, the Swagman would be a great place to meet people, and she was not wrong. Within a day I'd met alot of new friends and drinking buddies to spend my time in Sydney with. As mentioned in previous reviews the social scene at the hostel is excellent and being situated in the centre of Kings Cross, you can party 24 hrs a day if you wish. The staff are very friendly and through their travel desk I booked my Oz Experience ticket as well, which I'm presently enjoying. When I return to Sydney I'll definitely be back in the Swagman.

Well, Ive just come to the end of my visit here in Sydney and can honestly say that my time here at the Jolly Swagman was one of the highlights. Its an excellent hostel with good facilities, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. If your looking for work or just to wanting to hang out with fellow travelers then this hostel is a must! unlike most other hostels, this one has 24hr reception which is excellent for those late arrivals or if you lose your keys after a drink or two(as I did on more than one occasion!).

Don't normally bother with entering reviews but after seeing the slating that some people have given this place I thought I should write to tell you my experience. When I stayed the place was very clean, the bathrooms had just been re fitted so were brand new and the staff were very friendly. Whilst I stayed there I was rarely out of work as there were agencies and employers phoning into reception every morning looking for workers. The general atmosphere was very social and I made plenty of good mates, some of which I am now travelling up the coast with. So go check it out is my advise.
