Property Description
A cosy, friendly and secure Backpackers Hostel in the heart of the Sydney CBD, Big is the perfect spot for solo travellers. Big offers 24/7 on-site staff, a range of room types (dorms 18-40yrs only), (all with AC) and up-to-date security and sanitising practices. A few minutes’ walk from Central Station and light rail and within walking distance of Hyde Park, Chinatown, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Sea Life Aquarium and several of Sydney’s famous museums, we’re just a quick bus trip from some of Sydney’s beautiful beaches. Big is your base for exploring what Sydney has to offer.
We offer free all-day tea and coffee in our fully-equipped kitchen, with large commercial fridges and shelving for food and beverage storage, cooled filtered water, instant boiling water and food preparation space and utensils. Check-in is from 2PM, and check-out is by 10AM. Before and after check-in we’ll store your bags while you enjoy the comfortable common area and kitchen. The kitchen, common room and laundry are all open 24/7 for comfort and convenience. Air conditioning is provided throughout the building, in the common areas and in every room.
Unlimited free WiFi is available throughout the building, even on our famous rooftop, where you’ll find a perfect opportunity to socialise in the sun. If you’re worn out from your travel or just want a quiet day, relax on one of the many couches in our spacious common room and grab a book from the well-stocked bookcase.
Please Note: Our Private Rooms do not contain additional Amenities such as Shampoo or Conditioner. If you could please bring your own. Our Private Hostel rooms do not have a TV. Our Dormitory Bunk Beds do not have Privacy Curtains.

The location is good,near to central station. You can use their equipments to cook a bit. However,the room is a mass and you can feel a bit cold wind blow from the windows

浴室淋浴間的門少一片,説是本來就知道壞了,還沒有材料可以修,洗澡的水會濺到整間浴室的地都是濕的,馬桶和衛生紙也會濕掉,房內的椅子椅背後的背板也是壞的,ㄧ碰就掉下來,雙層床的床架很搖,有的螺絲釘不見了,房內連基本的煮水壺都沒有,很不方便。價格對比設施覺得不划算。

침대 칸막이나 커튼 없는 구성이에요
침대가 살짝 삐걱거리고 하는 것 말고는 다 괜찮습니다
거리가 중앙역에서 가까워 무엇보다 좋아요
