  Barely qualifies as a budget accommodation

  I've stayed in hostels and budget accommodations all over the world. I understand that you make certain sacrifices to save money, but this place went above and beyond to give us a terrible experience. We found socks and candy wrappers under the bed. Our "triple room" was merely a single dorm room with an extra bed shoved into it, leaving almost no room to even walk around the beds. The bathroom had a window into the bedroom that we had to cover so that people could shower without everyone getting to watch. The worst part was the lack of communication. Knowing there was no parking available but the website had mentioned a specific $28/day lot, I called as we drove there to get directions to the parking lot. I was told to call a different number, which I did. They gave me very specific instructions to the lot and we found it successfully. The next day, we were charged $55 to claim the car. When I checked at the front desk, the manager told me they'd sent me to the wrong lot. Upon inquiring if anything could be done about the $55 charge (times TWO vehicles), I was told it was my own fault for going to the wrong lot since the right lot was posted in the lobby. It was the GLEBE PHONE LINE that gave me the incorrect information. If the information was so readily available in the lobby, why didn't the call center have it? I have since written to Glebe regarding our many issues and have yet to receive any response from them whatsoever. AVOID this place at all costs.

  Ok for a single night

  I have used this place during the summer for single night stays only. I do agree with some of the comments that mention the hot weather. The rooms don't have Air Conditioning. If it is not a 40 C day in Sydney in Dec-Feb then you will be fine, but if it is hot then you will feel the heat. Other than that i was fine with the rooms, mind you i always stayed in the more expensive ones. I was a solo traveler so i cannot comment when you travel in a group. Please note that these are student rooms that are advertised during the summer break. They are not full time hotels and will not match a "proper" full time hotel. Other than that the staff are very friendly and have always looked after me.

  Pop up space is simply a quick easy buck on the decerning traveller

  Stayed at the Gleve Space pop up for 2 weeks over Xmas. 1st impression was ok. Til 5 days in the hot water on bathrooms went and we were left with cold showers for 5 days over Xmas. On top of which the bathrooms are cleaned only once a week on Saturdays. So by mid week on 1st and 2nd week the bathrooms were grubby. Not even toilet paper was replaced in the week so none available each time by Wednesdays. Rooms are not cleaned. Corridors not cleaned as same squashed cockroaches were on the hallway floor for the 2 weeks. One fridge for too many bedrooms. No kitchen paper towels to dry dishes. Left several times with loo roll to clean plates. Sorry bit if this service is provided as an alternative to hotels the least the owner of pop up can do is provide clean facilities. They are simply making a quick buck. The manager was rude when I asked to change rooms and told I could check out. NYE!!!! The only plus is your own room. But if you like dirty bathrooms this is for you. Sydney pop up from talking to people too is no better I heard. Complete lack of cleaning in this facility. Never again.

  Dont waste your time!!!

  How is possible to get something so wrong?! Lets start with the good - I stayed in the newer building, in a room with an en suite bathroom. The facilities in this building are lovely. But they could do so much better. The rest - Cleanliness - the room was dirty when we arrived. Dust & ants everywhere, clumps of hairs on the floor. The money you save on booking here, youll spend on food, as theyve turned off the cooking facilities (ovens and stoves). We booked her for two weeks, on our first day went and bought a load of shopping (trying to save money) only to realise the only thing you have to cook with, is a microwave! So for the large majority its either ready meals or take aways. Apparently the ovens are turned off due to over sensitive fire alarms (more of these later!). We were told this has been a problem for two years now! So about those over sensitive fire alarms. On our first night, after finding out basically nothing works here, the entire property was woken up at 1:30 by a fire alarm going off. Many had children and some of them extremely young (as its the summer holidays). There was a clear lack of leadership and I couldnt even tell you where any of the staff from this facility were during the fire alarm. A lot of things are misleading here - another being the WiFi. Its only free in the newer building and even then, it doesnt stretch to the common areas! The cutlery and plates etc were a joke. A complete mismatch, when you take into account its full of families staying here, its difficult to find enough plates/cutlery to simply eat your meal. With this being paid accommodation, they couldve at least bought some new kitchen stuff for the paying customers. Ive not been this disappointed by accommodation for a long time, if ever. Seems as if theyre honestly interested in making money with the university students are away. In summary, please dont waste your time or money. Yes its cheap but youll spend loads of food etc.

  DO NOT STAY HERE

  Overwhelmed at how bad this accommodation was. 8 of us stayed here over the Christmas and the new year period and not one of us had a good word to say about it. - All the photos on booking.com are NOT realistic. I didnt see one place that looked similar. - Staff gave incredibley poor service. Very slow on reception. - Shared bathrooms were ABSOLUTELY APPAULING hygiene. We stayed for 2.5 weeks and the toilets got cleaned 3 times max over that period. Leaving poo in the toilet for 5 days and we ran out of toilet paper more regular than the times we had it. (We complained and the reasoning was that the contractors over the festive period have got confused about the shifts during our stay) not justifiable if you ask me. - Kitchen: the hob and the Oven was turned off during all our stay and therefore we only had the microwave to cook anything with. It was impossible to actually get a full piece cutlery set. There was one fork on the whole premises. - Housekeeping was poor. Despite being asked repeatedly to change beds and empty bins they still didnt carry through these actions. A photo attached was one of my friends pillow on arrival. I will never recommend staying here and if I could give it no stars I would.
