    Me and my friend booked Jolly Swagman for three nights and then we switch to a hostel in Bondi. In Bondi we realiced how good we had it at Jolly Swagman so we moved back and stayed there for a mounth!
    We did really enyojed our stay and met alot of new friends.
    Every day the hostel organised activities so you never got bored!
    You also get free breakfast and 60 min wifi.
    The doorms are really cleand and you got your own fridge and safetybox in your own doorm.
    The staff is really nice and helpful and reception is open 24/7!

    Me and my friend stayed at jolly swag man for one month and it's was really the best hostel we went to.
    It is close to all the nice clubs and restaurants . Even cheaper alternatives for backpackers like us...
    The people who stayed there were really nice and friendly and it was a good atmosphere. They offers free breakfast and wifi (60 minutes).
    You can also take the train from kings cross stations to all the beaches and shopping malls.
    It's a clean hostel with a nice and helpful staff!

    The Jolly Swagman is the first backpacker I lived in when I arrived in Australia. It is located in Kings Cross, which is the place to be if you want to party every night or if you just want to live close from the city center. The backpacker street is quiet so you wont be annoyed by the neighborhoods nightlife.

    The people living there are incredibly nice and friendly. You get free breakfast from 7 to 9, good advices from the staff for whatever you need, huge open kitchen, a TV room with bean bags

    The only bad thing is the Internet that you have to pay forYoull get one free hour when youll check in but then youll have to pay.

    But seriously it is a great place to live in!

    Awesome hostel! the nightlife is very great. YOu also get a lot of vouches from the hostel for free drinks and free entry in some clubs

    the staff is very friendly and help you in every way they can. If you need an advise, just ask them.

    Also the other guests in the hostel were awesome, it is really easy to meet new friends there!

    just go there and enjoy!

    Awesome staff and 24 hrs reception. The rooms are pretty clean (especially for king's cross - trust me) and the location is great - only minutes away from the king's cross station and bars. They have organize bar outings during the week if you want to party - or you can just stay in and watch movies on the bean bags. The kitchen could be a little bigger though (more cups).

    Staff members were friendly and helpful, hostel atmosphere was great loved the music playing around dinner time in common area. The hostel is mostly clean. Dorm room cleaning is every second day which is good.

    The location is good, not too far from the city CBD which is excellent. So far this is one of my favourite hostels.

    If I go back to Sydney then we will stay at the Jolly 100%.
