Sydney Hostels

I had previously read the comments before booking at the capsule hotel as I usually do to avoid disappointment of available amenities, staff etc… when checking in I found the location in the heart of the CBD perfect with food vendors straight across from the hotel and a 2 minute walk from the light rail that takes you straight to the main shopping district and the rocks for all your art and entertainment. Staff were very kind and approachable even the guard at the bottom floor bar exit door was friendly to me when exiting at night. I found noise never to be an issue in the pods, although I did wear headphones at night time to listen to music but the room is practically always quiet. I was worried about how the air flow would be in the pods and about the mattress comfort from previous reviews thinking I may have got a one way ticket to a hot box scenario but I found it to be very comfortable with great airflow, I had the air flow on 1-2 levels at different times of the day and they still had an option for a third stronger airflow that I found unnecessary. I loved coming back to the pod for some RNR between my busy schedule over the three days I stayed here, the mattress for me was so comfortable and reminded me of the tatami mats in Japanese culture that they sleep on so as a westerner it actually opened my perspective to understanding Japanese culture better. I found that the shared bathrooms were always clean and never to crowded at both night and day. The last thing I can comment about is the storage was a great size I like that they had a hanger in your card accessed locker to dry your towel out through the day and still stay seperate from my belongings. Overall as a solo female traveller I would highly recommend the capsule hotel Sydney. I have stayed at hostels in Sydney close by to this hotel but that extra privacy allowed me to not feel like I wanted to stay out all day till bedtime. This was a last minute trip and if I ever had to book another last minute stay in the city I will book here.

I spent ages trying to look this up as X Backpackers, Nomads back packers and you have this listed as Base Backpackers. I booked this for 4 nights $214-00 which was quite reasonable. When I got there they said it was $215-60 which I paid. No when I got the receipt in my yahoo it was $220-5 as $4-90 fee. When I complained about this they said it was the agent fee. I sent feed back to the manager and she said they have taken this on board and should pay by Eftos at the hostel and not Visa through an agent. However the lady receptionist was very nice and gave me a single room for no extra charge. I also got two sausages and two pieces of bread and two drinks free at a barbeque night. The housekeeping was rather slack as in four nights they never came to the room and changed the towels, sheets ,empty the bins or new shampoo, conditioner and gel. The receptionist gave me a new towel and went to housekeeping and got gel, shampoo and conditioner but never said to them how slack they were The room was clean. nice bed and secure with a code to get in and TV in the room, so had an enjoyable stay. I never left the milk in the fridge as last time it got stolen or thrown out. Luckily it was ot too hot so not go off!

Location: Great! Close to everything Facilities: no ironing board that’s readily available for guests. Long walk to the toilet passing through people in dining, kitchen and living… awkward. Elevator was broken. Reception was a mess with linen skips all over the place but the receptionist was extremely friendly! Experience: I booked a room for myself. Didn’t realized, until I get their, that the room was bare with only a bed and a bedside table. No toilet. No table or chair in the room. I could bring a friend in but I didn’t coz you walk through a corridor passing through the kitchen, dining and living area. You can hear people talk whilst in your room. Overall: I will come back if I want to save money but never if I want privacy and peace of mind. Was it worth it? I’d prefer to pay extra just to get my privacy. This place is for backpackers. They offer a single room but it is extremely disappointing. I booked a room thinking I’d feel different but it was pretty much, a backpacker experience, not that I am against that… but wasn’t expecting. Ultimate, the room was spacious but bare. Just a bed, bedside table and clothing rack. No cabinets even!

Was at Maze hostel from the 13th August for about 1 month and absolutely loved my time there and was so sad to leave. Became great friends with Joni within the first few days of being there and she made me feel so comfortable to approach her with anything I needed. Thanks to all 3 event managers Joni, Matteo and Lautaro for making it so much fun every single day. I recommend this hostel to anyone while this event team is here!

Looking for an unforgettable stay in Sydney? Look no further! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hostel that offers the perfect combination of convenience and comfort, right near Sydney's top attractions. This hostel boasts an unbeatable location, placing you within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Exploring these renowned sites and immersing yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere has never been easier.

There is free breakfast and a kitchen where you can cook. The location is also good and very convenient. There are supermarkets around It's okay to stay for one night. There are many people and it's a bit crowded. It's very convenient for one person. It's okay. You need to pay a deposit key to check in.

Only gave 1 star due to not being able to give 0. Black mold over entire bathroom. Not a single tiled surface was mold free. Cockroaches crawling in at night under the doors. The vent of the air con unit was covered in dust and more black mold. Not that the air con unit worked anyway. We stayed middle of winter so lucky for us all the sheets including pillows were made entirely of plastic (natural fibres would have left us freezing). Staff were only there probably to clean and that's it, because we never saw them. Ever! We tried to check in 20 minutes early and the lady claimed ”there is no luggage storage”. Lo and behold, when we were finally checked in there is a massive painted sign saying ”luggage storage”. Also, the room wasn't ready even by 2PM, the stated check-in time. We saw one gentleman traveller waiting outside to check in at 7PM in the freezing cold for God knows how long he sat there, but we were unable to let him in due to signage explicitly stating that letting in people would lead to non-refundable expulsion. Also, the doors only open with an App, so if your phone does good luck getting in. Honestly, if my phone died, I would have called the cops and had them find a way to let us in with the non-existent staff. Cleaning lady was so lovely. Reception lady was horrible. Kitchen had a faulty stove that was always firing. This is probably not advisable, as a simple gas leak could mean this misfiring burner will blow the place up - if only that would happen (with no-one staying there), because that is the only way this place is going to get better (a complete rebuild). Kitchen was filthy, with no cups to be seen anywhere. I probably wouldn't have used them anyway. Why the heck is there a massive tarp covering the balcony? Did this place semi-burn down??? Also would like to state that the photos provided are most likely from the Glebe location that they also own. The photos looked simple, which is what I wanted. Simple, not freaking disgusting. I have stayed in backpackers in Africa that are legitimately better than this hell-hole. Might I add that one of those places included a room with no glass in the window, and I found that place better than The Village!!!! I have copied this review in case it is ”magically” lost. I will be posting it elsewhere.

Now known as Summer House , New Town. Pleasant and helpful staff generally the occupants are under thirty most are very pleasant some are irresponsible and would be better housed in a pigsty. The accommodation varies most have shower rooms ours was clean and perfectly ok, about 20 minutes bus ride to the center of Sydney.

Wouldn’t recommend. Have stayed at nicer hostels in Sydney. There wasn’t great bathroom facilities - not enough toilets or showers for the capacity. There was a severe lack of sinks which I didn’t realise would be such an issue but is! The bathrooms were often dirty and not cleaned regularly. There was a lack of toilet paper constantly. The bed was uncomfortable and pillow was hard. Beds were very loud to get in and out of so felt like I was waking everyone in the room whenever I needed the bathroom. The staff were fine but not overly helpful. On check in we weren’t advised where the kitchen or lounge area was, or what the check out protocol was. When we checked out the staff never advised us what to do with the bed linen. Location was grand for Sydney, a bit further out but wasn’t really a hinderance. There was good public transport. For reference I have stayed at two other Sydney hostels, and plenty of hostels up and down the east coast.
