I’ve stayed in a few hostels around Sydney & the village Glebe is by far my favourite! Located on Glebe point road with a short walk to shops & cafes bars. Bus stop right outside aswell. This didn’t feel like a hostel but more of a home away from home! Lovely vibe in this hostel with activities going on every night. Gorgeous rooftop terrace with stunning view of sunsets and a games room pool table & table tennis. The staff here are honestly Amazing! Big shout out to Rose Felicia & Maria espically who were so welcoming and willing to facilitate anything you need. Always friendly saying hello and asking about our days! When I come back to Sydney will definitely stay here again! Would recommend to a friend.

I had the opportunity to come back to this hostel after a certain time and I am never disappointed, feels like home. It is a good place to meet people and enjoy Sydney. The common areas are big, clean and well equiped, the rooftop offers a nice view and a nice place to hang out. Big shout out to the staff Rose, Brendan, Felicia and Gabo for making this place as welcoming as it is and for always making sure we are well settled and feeling comfortable. Always a good laugh, a good chat or advice.☺️ And ofc a big shout out to Stu, always !!

The property is extremely comfortable, with dual A/C & heating in each room, the bathrooms are well maintained and very clean. It has a great rooftop for chilling with a large covered area that is surrounded by an open area with great 360 degree views. All the staff do their best to make everyone feel at home. Special shout out to Timur, who goes above and beyond, is welcoming, friendly and extremely courteous. The Village, Glebe create an atmosphere of inclusion of everyone from all Nations. Of special note are the hammocks on the rooftop, the complimentary pancakes on a Sunday morning which enables different travellers to meet, mingle and strike up friendships. A great place to stay!

The receptionist Nico Garzonio is an excellent professional. Thanks to him my stay at the village was really easy and enjoyable. He was really fast and proactive for all my check in and he gave me really good advises related to places to visit in Sydney. Thanks to receptionist as him and Dhiraj, life in the village is easier. That’s the reason why I have stayed over a month. I want to remark also the great housekeeping team inside the hostel, specially Daniel and all the people from Colombia. Their work might not be so visible but it’s essential the hostel and all the guests. Great people!

The fridge in the kitchen was disconnected some times. I had to throw food. There were not glasses and cutlery in the kitchen for almost a week.

Special shout-out to Timur' at reception,who is "On the ball"and certainly an asset to the Village"...Also the Chef come Friday night Sausage Sizzle(free)..and cook's a great barbecue... Continuing my stay in the new year and highly recommend checking this place out.. Safe travels,Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all...Kind Regards Pete

Quite a positive person so the negatives are too trivial to worry about...

The facilities were very clean, wonderful location, friendly and helpful staff, lovely rooms and bathrooms, everything you could need there. Went above and beyond to make aure your comfortable, especially for a hostel

The only thing negative I could comment on. We did wake up one morning and all of the walls were wet with condensation, this did end up making the whole room and everything in it slightly damp, this was after a night of heavy rain so not sure if there was maybe a leak in the window, but this went away after a day and did not return

The vibe in the village is very nice! It's a very social hostel. The staff members are very helpful and kind, especially Nico Garzonio from the reception. He helped me out multiple times. I stayed in a room where 2 people had a problem with each other, but he solved it very quickly and knew how to de-escalate. He gets along with the guests and is still respected in his work. The hostel is based in a nice suburb with bars and restaurants in the street. It's about 30 min away from the centre by bus. The bus stop is right in front of the hostel, which makes it easy.

The only thing they could improve is the hygiene in the common area's. Not because of housekeeping, but because people don't clean up after themselves.
