Loved my stay
Tyler, 9-night trip

4/10 Fair

The people at the reception were nice and overall the staff is really friendly. Cockroaches were keeping us company during the lonely nights, and the fridge kept leaking ; the bathroom was dirty as well - we would be inebriated with weed smell on a daily basis, and whilst we wouldn't normally care, this was too much even for us. We understand it's a hostel, we really do, but the hygiene standards we require are not as high as the people that kept smoking in the courtyard.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean hostel all around. You could see cleaning done everyday. The kitchen was a huge plus for me because it saved me a lot of money on eating out. Three dinners were provided each week promoting social interactions with other guests. If I need a place to stay in the future I will be back
Spence, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad
Friendly environment and staff Comfortable bed but a bit noisy and shaking
3-night trip

4/10 Fair

It is a party hostel and all the rooms are facing the courtyard so it‘s very loud. The bed was very old and the mattress very uncomfortable. The location is very good though and our room was clean.
Lena, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

I stayed in a double room with a private bathroom. I pay the same amount that any hotel in the area would charge for the same room. However, the room did not have soap or shampoo or anything to shower/clean-up. Its disappointing to pay more than $100 per night and to not even have a tiny piece of soap to shower.
Antonio, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Well its noisy, and their is no repecy about quiet times and no one to keep control of it. Its not clean enough. Toilet Sinks were not drain properly.
Rodrigo, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I can't comment on the amenities as I had to cancel my 2 night booking less than half an hour after making it. They failed to respond at all to repeated requests from Wotif for a refund, but instead chose to just take ALL of my money and refund nothing even though their own policy says they are entitled to take one night. Why? because THEY took too long to reply to Wotif's multiple requests. So the lesson here is if there is a possibility that you may have to cancel a booking, DON'T BOOK WITH ORIGINAL BACKPACKERS! They'll just take your money anyway.

Boa escolha em Sydney
Excelente localização. Serviço básico, mas que atendendo ao tipo de alojamento é adequado. Quarto privado, com condições suficientes. A ventoinha ajuda mas... falta o ar condicionado. Toque simpático o pequeno almoço incluído e, um ou dois dias por semana, jantar gratuito. Oportunidade de conviver com viajantes de múltiplas nacionalidades. Staff da recepção muito simpático. Muito cuidado com as horas de ruído. Em resumo, uma boa opção para um orçamento limitado.
