" In a great position in trendy (and quieter) part of Potts Point and with helpful staff, this converted mansion is sunny, airy, brightly painted and tastefully furnished. One of the best points is the huge courtyard garden out back with wooden furniture and big shady trees''…

Jul. 12 ‘06 My stay at the Blue Parrot was amazing. From the moment we checked in, till the time we checked out we had the best time. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and would go out of their way to do things for you. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean and the common was a very nice size and comfortable. It was especially nice to find out that they provide free internet access to their guests. The rooms are a nice size and not crowded at all. The location was excellent, there are many restaurants and a grocery store within 2 blocks. Overall we loved our time at the Blue Parrot and we would absolutely suggest that you stay there when in Sydney.

Oct.7 ‘05 I felt very comfy there, had nice and quiet roommates (it's been really quiet in the house at all, I liked this). As well I appreciate the help when I arrived, getting so many individual information about what could be done in Sydney, where to find beautuful places, what's not worth to go... as well there was always some helpful person at the desk, answering my tons of questions patient :) Thanks a lot for the great time I had with you in Sydney, if someone would ask me for hostel in Sydney, I will recommend the Blue Parrot.
