10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and helpful
yenting, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, friendly staff
Adam, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There were cockroaches in the room, it was very hot and very loud due to plant noise right outside the window. Only thing going for it was the price but when you can’t sleep, it’s not worth very much.
Jono, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, good hostel

Maze backpackers did exactly what we needed, located in a pretty good spot in the CBD. Sydney is pretty massive, so you need to walk or take taxis to get anywhere fast, but a comfortable walk from the Darling Harbour area with lots of shopping around.

Great location and pretty clean toilet and shower.

Joyce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Beds were nice but had to show if every time I entered and wait for them to check that I was a guest. Very inconvenient. But overall amazing location

Robert, 2-night trip

You get what you pay for. Decent accommodation and pretty clean. Staff are at the desk 24/7 to help. Quite busy and full of people.

Parking

They have a discounted parking deal with a parking site very close by which was very reasonable. Room with double bed small but you expect that in a hostel. Great location in Haymarket.

Bathrooms dirty
Glenda, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were nice, although one lass seemed really confused every time I spoke to her. The room itself was clean, beds were comfortable enough, but the bathrooms were disgusting. There was always water on the floor of the toilets, the sanitary bins were overflowing, the hand dryer didn't work and it was just generally unpleasant and run down.
Bridget, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff at reception were kind and offered various suggestions on what to do/where to eat around the area when I asked. The facilities were clean, quiet, and amenities are nothing crazy but offered multiple clean spaces to hang in. New to travelling and first hostel stay, honestly have no complaints!
Dayna, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good central location to everything friendly staff property condition quite acceptable for what it’s age

6/10 Good

Good low-budget option for short stay. Beware, the hostel is only available for over 18s and ID is required for all guests.
