“A very good choice in Kings Cross”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2011

Its obviously quite expensive to stay as a backpacker in Sydney. Eva's though has prices that decline depending on how long you stay, so thats one positive thing. I paid 28 AUD per night for a weeks stay. Another good thing is that the dorms are quite small (4-6 beds) and all have bathroom ensuite. WIFI is free and fast, but when I stayed here it was down due to hacking. It should be good now though.

Staff is really friendly, bathrooms and rooms are very clean. You have your own locker and reading light by the bed. The hostel is located close to Kings Cross trainstation, but on a smaller alley so very quiet at night.

I liked that this is a friendly and clean place, the common areas are a bit small though (at least the tv-room). They also have a roof top area with laundry facilities for a small amount.

“What a lovely place!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2011

After staying in an awfull hostel down the street (G'day Backpackers), I moved to Eva's and thought I was in 'Backpacker Heaven'. I stayed in the Girls Only dorm and had a huge locker in the room, a clean and spacious shower in the dorm, a reading light and a shelf at my bed and a comfortable matras. All of this for the same price as the bad hostel. The roof terrace is breath taking and the WIFI is free. Eva's is cosy, clean and a home away from home. Exactly what a hostel should be.

“Great hostal, Great people.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2011

This was my first time staying at a backpackers and I really loved it. The rooms are basic but cleaned on a daily basis. The people are friendly and the roof top has amazing views over the Sydney skyline. The roof is great social area for barbecues and drinks and relaxing during the day with a book. Hope to return again some day.

“Great for backpackers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2011

Myself and 3 friends had a great room, a 4 bed dorm with an en-suite. I never saw the bigger dorms so I cannot comment on them. Nice big kitchen, very clean. Lovely rooftop area with great views and a barbecue. We went up there most nights to have dinner and drinks. This area was great for meeting the other guests. Good location, very easy to get around using the train station which is a five minute walk away. Overall, I had a very good stay at Eva's!
