I stayed in a mixed dorm for a few nights during the flash floods! Despite the miserable weather the staff and travellers at the Blue Parrot brightened things up. The staff are really friendly and will go out of their way to help you out and give advice. They even carried my particularly heavy case up the stairs and into... More

As a lone female traveller I found the blue parrot to be amazingly welcoming and friendly. Everyone who works and stays there has the same friendly attitude and my 5 night stay extended to 4 weeks (I'd still be there now if the job I found was closer to kings cross). Everything about this hostel is brilliant and I can't... More

On my recent trip up the east coast of Australia I arrived in the Blue Parrot Sydney straight off the plane from London as I had read through TripAdviser and HostelWorld that “This was the place to go” – Especially if you where an a lone backpacker looking to meet people quickly and see the city easily :) So it...

I stayed at this hostel for a couple of months and loved it. While it is not the cheapest in Sydney, it has a fantastic atmosphere. It is quite small (I think they have 50 beds) and is family run which makes it very homely. You get to know everyone who is there and the staff are always keen to... More

I stayed here back in September 2011 with my Brother. We decided to take a backpacking trip up the eastern coast of Australia and Blue Parrot Backpackers was our first stop! Honestly, we were both a little nervous at first since this was our first experience staying in a hostel but any fears were immediately put to rest upon check-in... More

I recently stayed at the Blue Parrot and really had a fantastic time! Friendly atmosphere easy to meet people, the hostel was in a great location and really clean. The price was the same as any other good hostel in Sydney and it was great value for money especially since they had free internet which other hostels charge for. I... More

I had the most fantastic time at Blue Parrot. Was there for 10 days and wish that I could have stayed longer. Met awesome people and had the time of my life! It's a small and intimate place and perfect if you are travelling solo! Staff are friendly and helpful. Best stay in Australia so far - will definitely recommend... More

Really nice place and great location. I stayed here for 3 nights and loved it, except for two douchey Swiss room mates. The receptionists are friendly and the rates for 4 bed rooms are very reasonable. It is a short walk from the Blue Parrots to the Royal Botanical Garden and only a 1/2 mile from Central Station. I would... More
