This is indeed a funky little place, loved the paintings on the walls
and doors, the atmosphere there with rooftop parties in King Cross
intense nightlife area. About 20minutes walk from thr Queen's
gardens and the Opera House, 30mins from the piers and city center.
People where friendly. In the middle of kings cross so going out was not
a problem. For $26 it is a bargain. Ample breakfast, and events going
around. Ill visit the funk house again.todos opiniões

Location
Free Breakfast.
Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Always interact with you when walking past reception.
The facilities could have been cleaner. This is probably not a place for
people who want to go to bed early, and King Cross is not the safest
place... But if you don't come back at 3am alone throuh the small
dark laneways, you'll be fine :).
The light in the toilet was on a sensor so when i went to take a number two it went out if i was on for too long. (maybe more of a reflection on me...).
the small dorms mean that you might meet less people. it would have been nice to have a hands driver in the bathroom.
Gets noisy at night
Beds aren't comfy
Gets really cold.
Noise outside is loud late into the night.
3 girls dorm was a bit to small.
Nothing.
Someone walking into our room at 4 am.
Cleaning staff very noisy from 7 am in the morning. Some residents don't realise how load they actually are. Very few towels available.
