Lonely Planet Review
This place, as you'd expect, is an incredibly popular choice with budget travellers, and is easily the best of Bondi's hostels. The staff here are as clued-up as you'd expect from a YHA joint, and there are excellent communal areas to enjoy, such as a big kitchen with industrial-strength equipment, spacious living and dining rooms and decent bathrooms.
Don't overlook the chance to score some delightful rooftop views over Tamarama Beach from the spa either - although the real thing beckons and is only a 5min downhill stroll away. Bedrooms are not exactly inspiring, but they're tidy and because this place is well run you're less likely to run into troublesome travellers.
