Just don't stay here, its as simple as that. The staff are rude, the entire place is filthy, the bathrooms are really poor and the long termers are down right odd. The only thing this place has got going for it is that its close to Central Station and saying that there are still a couple of hostels just as... More

I don't know what type of backpacker you are but they brought out free goon and organized pub nights. I did have fun but the place is a bit run down and the kitchen lacks severely. If you are not coming here to party and have some fun, you should check out some where else. If you don't mind roughing... More

Dear traveller; sit down, relax, pull-up a chair and let me regale you with the story of room ‘Yellow 34’ at the Maze Backpacker’s Hostel, Sydney. Picture the scene, an intrepid young(ish) traveller arrives at the end of a hot and humid coach journey from Canberra and steps out toward the multi-cultural metropolis that is Sydney. Emerging from Central Station... More

This backpackers is supposed to be one of the best backpackers in Sydney, and I believe so. Anyway, the kitchen are quite small as well as the fridges and cupboards. Few kitchen stuffs to cook. Furthermore somebody stole some of my food. Rooms were not that big and were smelly (I slept in 2 different rooms). Staffs were helpful though.... More

ICan’t even give this back packers a rating because it is a complete disgrace. The toilets are completely filthy to the point I didn't even bother with the shower or toilet. People were smoking in the common room and throwing their butts out of the window on to the street. There was toilet paper all down the hall ways. The... More
