Arrived after a 24 hour flight jet lagged needing a good night sleep not realising into I got to George St Hotel that the place is more a backpackers than a hotel. Like any backpackers the hallways echo through the night? With the pub Scruffy murphy's on the ground floor rocking away to the early hours, the noise from the... More

I stayed in a private room with bathroom with my husband in March 2013. We were going to a concert, and had an appointment early the next morning, so we were looking for the cheapest place as close to central station as possible. As we were in the room for less than 7 hours, we had no need or time... More

Sydney is different in terms of budget and backpacker accomodations compared to the rest of the coast. The George Street Hotel (which is really a hostel) is one of the cheapest places you can get, and even though it is not a bad place to stay (if you compare price and location with other hostels) it is also not one...

We loved this place, clean bathrooms and rooms, powerful showers, TV, good wifi, very friendly staff, centrally located. We stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it, it's better value than Maze and quieter However, our whole experience was spoilt by one member of staff, one of the elder women with glasses and long redish brown hair: As we...

The advertisement for this hotel describes it as 'boutique'. I'm not sure what the definition of 'boutique' is but it does not apply to The George Hotel. It is at best a well located backpackers or budget hotel. The room we had was very small. The carpet, beds and linen provided was clean though the quilt had several cigarette burns... More

I have been staying in this hostel for nearly 2 years now and I feel at home with the friendly stuff, the environment is clean, they supply white towel every single day for free and collect rubbish. I found the reception is one of the nicest hostel in Sydney with free Internet and public phone. They have ample sanitized toilet... More

They make money and care not about the place. - the maintenance was terrible. The fridge was overflowing with expired milk and rotten-gone-black vegetables. Things were falling apart and very unkempt. - sheets were dusty, and "hard to reach" corners in the room, below table etc. - were never vacuum. - room with weird smell. Having seen our heavy laugage... More

For the price, don't expect too much. But for a backpackers, the service, overall cleanliness, and rooms are good. The kitchen is small, and a little dirty (the fridge is a mess), but I don't think that's entirely the management's fault. I was very impressed with how clean the bathrooms and toilets were, and the availability of hot water. The... More
