"Just like in the photos, the room was spacious and clean, and everyone was friendly, yet it was still quiet. 🤗 There were lockers too, so I didn't have to worry about anything as long as I had my key. The other guests were well-behaved, and the staff were all charming and kind. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I was very satisfied. The location was also good; although it's a bit of a walk from the station, it didn't affect my sightseeing at all."

"Excellent location! It's built right on top of the Big Dig, and artifacts unearthed from beneath 'The Rock' are even displayed inside the hotel. I was surprised at how large this hostel was, with over a hundred rooms. It's right next to the Opera House and the bridge, and only about 500 meters from the metro station. The only downside is that breakfast was a bit expensive."

"My 2-person unisex bunk room on the first floor was good value for money. I stayed on a Monday night. Check-in was easy because the staff explained things really well. My room was bigger than I expected. I was expecting a tiny room with a set of bunks up against a wall with hardly any space around them but found they there was plenty of room around the bunks to move and put your stuff. The shared bathroom was big and clean enough. The mattress was ok for a night. The really loud music from the night club/pub next door was the only downside. It was hard to sleep through it, even with noise cancelling headphones until it stopped around 2am. The average sleep was worth it for cheap accommodation in a great location. Next time I'll pack better earplugs and see if I can stay on a higher floor, further away from the club."

"It feels like a historic building that's been renovated internally. While the owners have clearly made an effort regarding comfort, there are still some minor shortcomings, such as soundproofing and the room size/layout. The hotel's location is super convenient; you can walk to popular areas like QVB in about ten minutes. There's a shared living room and kitchen on the ground floor, which is great for solo travelers to stay, meet new people, and socialize. On a side note, there were many lithium batteries charging together in the living room – definitely something to be cautious about for safety."

Chinatown, QVB, the Opera House, and other attractions are all just one stop away or easily accessible along the line. The front desk staff was quite patient and helpful with directions. The bed was comfortable; I fell asleep instantly, and the soundproofing was decent. However, when staying in a hostel, you do have to put up with issues like roommates having different schedules."

"ake Up! Bondi Beach is the perfect place to stay if you want to feel the real Bondi lifestyle. The location is unbeatable — right across from the beach, just a few steps to the sand, surf, coastal walk, cafés, and everything happening along the shoreline. Waking up to the sound of waves and watching sunrise from Bondi is something truly special. The hotel/hostel is clean, modern, and well-maintained. My room was comfortable, and even though the space is simple, it had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The common areas were bright and social, ideal for meeting new people, and the rooftop was my favourite spot — stunning ocean views, perfect for morning coffee or sunset chill. The staff were friendly, helpful, and always approachable. They gave great recommendations for food, activities, and transport, which made exploring Sydney much easier. I really appreciated the relaxed vibe — warm, casual, and welcoming. This place is perfect for travellers who enjoy beach life, surfing, fitness, or just want to experience Bondi like a local. Great location, great value, amazing atmosphere. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Wake Up! Bondi Beach to anyone visiting Sydney."

Hotel = A nice, small boutique hotel (2 floors) near Bondi area, Minimalist style/ Clean & Comfy with Good relaxing scent in all rooms. Shared bathroom isn’t a big deal as there are 3-4 rooms per floor. Amenities is just bare enough. What could be better is to installing a hanging/wall rack (in room) for reuse towels. Also, Pantry room on 1st floor should be available early than 8am. Location = Easy access to main street & public transit (bus), A bit too far to walk to beach (Bondi). A decent cafe&restaurant nearby.

I really like that they have activities on Fridays and Saturdays, which is great for people who want to socialize! Plus, the bathrooms and the overall accommodation environment are excellent. You need to use a key card to enter and exit, so it's very secure! The location right next to the station is also super convenient.

OK for one night. The hotel is above the pub, which is also very busy in the afternoon. There is also live music there on Sundays until around 9 p.m. Everything is perfectly fine, unless you have room 10 next to the washing machine/dryer and sleep next to the ventilation. Even though drying and washing is not allowed after 9 p.m., it was very annoying. The hotel rooms face the back, so in the morning you also have the noise from the loading area of ​​the supermarket. On the positive side, the room was in a modern condition and the staff were all very nice. The beach is a ten-minute walk away.

Check-in is until 10:30 PM. I arrived at Sydney Airport at 9 PM and then had to pick up my rental car. I got to the hotel around 11 PM. I had previously contacted the hotel via Trip.com to let them know I would be arriving late, and it was no problem at all! The friendly lady warmly welcomed me. She just asked for my ID, then gave me my key card. Parking is free. When you check in, you can park your car for a few minutes to the left, opposite the office. Once you've checked in, you can use your key card to open a gate to park your car. It closes again for security. So, to enter, just hold your card to the right of the office, and the gate will open. To exit, there's a control panel on the right; just press it, and the gate will open. Parking spaces are fine, even for Suzukis. Right next to the parking spots, there's a staircase that leads to your room. On the downside: no elevator. Room amenities: 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners. Fresh towels. The bathroom takes a bit of getting used to. The tiles are in a dismal state, and if the bathroom door is left open, there's a constant light from outside. There's a sink with hot water, but the mirror is to the left of it. A hairdryer is provided. The bed is comfortable and large, easily fitting two people. There's also an additional bed to the left of the window, though its purpose isn't entirely clear to me. The walls resemble a prison. A TV is available. There's a kettle, instant coffee, and tea, along with spoons and cups. Opposite the bed is a large mirror. The air conditioning only works sporadically. Pros: Close to the airport. Free parking, affordable prices. Private bathroom. Aldi is a 20-minute walk away. A few huge spiders (by European standards) visited me in the room ;D Verdict: Perfectly fine for one or two days.

I like the place in general. Location is good, check-in and check-out are easy. It is near to public transportation, from Convention station like 5 min walking. I stayed in the only female room, and it was very quiet at night, so I had a good sleep. The nice thing for me is breakfast and dinner. Luggage storage is also possible, so all was good.

I would tell the toilet is as per review, yes it is small and narrow but it’s simply worth the price especially when you consider the location (2mins walk to Chinatown station and Haymarket (most cheapest market in Sydney), and measured few stations to Circular Quay and one station to Sydney Central Station! Well the room (pod) condition also nice, even though you can expect the space pod is small but it’s clean and the A/C, electricity and locker works perfectly fine. Will definitely book this hotel again next time if I were a budget traveller.
