I stayed here one night with some friends as it is close proximity to train stations and clubs. We payed with a credit card before we go there and when we arrived a couple of hours earlier than the check in time , the lady behind the counter said that yes the credit card number was accepted and gave us...

Stayed there for the weekend ( 2-5 march 2012), was the biggest mistake. The room they put me in, was dirty and was not fit to be used as a dog kennel. Could not use any of the so call provided lockers, there was rubbish all over the floor and there was no air con. the room, so it was... More

Very basic backpackers with shared rooms with bunks with bricks to sleep on. You get given a bottom sheet, pillowcase and a cotton blanket to make your own bed. No top sheet. No carpet anywhere and very noisy both inside and outside the hostel. Inside noise - other guests partying. Outside noise - rubbish bins being emptied and street cleaners... More

That being said the rate was very cheap and it is perfectly located. The owners seemed honest enough; one player lost his camera which was handed in. Sleep quality was average. Whilst the... More

Sydney Backpackers was a dump. It's got a fairly good location (walking distance to the harbour and most bars), however it was ROUGH. The rooms were disasters, with overflowing garbage cans, and piles of things left behind by past backpackers that were not cleaned up in the 4 days we were there. The bathrooms were awful...I'd have preferred to take... More

I had a single room but couldn't sleep at all due to doors slamming and loud footsteps all night. The hostel was dingy and I never felt comfortable there. The location and the free wireless internet were the only things going for it. More

Place smelled awful, rooms were cold and noisy. Staff was rude. Location was great. I would not go there again, ever! More
