In fact, located in Pitt Street, hostel WK is a 5 minutes’ walk to the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and a short walk to the Opera House or Darling Habour. In contrast, it takes longer than WK from SC and CB to the UTS and some of the main attractions. Moreover, WK is situated opposite Central Station so it is easily accessed by public transport while in SC and CB it is not possible to take a bus.
