KINGS CROSS LOCATIONInner city Kings Cross is an ideal, base when visiting Sydney. An eclectic mix of grand sandstone buildings, terraces, cottages and modern apartments contain a colourful, eclectic community well known for its diversity. This is the most popular location where hostellers choose to stay because it is a lively, busy, central location with great transport and entertainment options. Numerous clubs, pubs and bars are literally right outside the door in this well known �Red Light District� and just a short walk away in Darlinghurst. Travellers who prefer a quieter location should consider accommodation in other areas of the city. Famous attractions are an easy walk away including the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour, Sydney Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery of NSW, and the CBD. The train and bus stations are nearby for easy access to all parts of Sydney including Bondi Beach, the Blue Mountains or beyond. And the ferries will take you across the sparkling harbour to Taronga Zoo and Manly. We treat you like a mate at our place. Rich & his friendly staff are always around to say g�day and give plenty of advice and info to help you have a fantastic stay.WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY'nice room. the area has character. the staff are helpful and the craic's 90. recomended'Aengus Ireland July 08'I had a really good time at Mates place and will be staying there again when i pass through Sydney. Everyone was really friendly and invited me out the night i got there and Rich makes everyone feel welcome!!'Lindsay England June 08I was a little unsure at first..BUT it ended up being a BLAST!! Rich is soo nice, he upgraded us for no extra charge! Free internet, towels, cutlery, most rooms have fridges. The kitchen was clean, lockers in the room. AWESOME hostel, def. coming back if I�m in Sydney! A nice homey feel, the location is good, close to King's Cross station, but we just walked the whole time cause it's not too far and you get to see the city. Empire across the street was heaps of fun. DEFINITELY stay here!!' Jacqueline usa May 08'Really nice hostel located in the heart of Kings X. Probably the cleanest and nicest kitched I've ever seen in a hostel or otherwise. Only gripe is that you play roulette with the shower temperature sometimes. Satellite TV in the lounge was great for watching afternoon hockey. Will return! 'Allan (from Canada), March 07
