Moved here after a nightmare time at Sydney Central Backpackers next door (read my review - e.g. vomit in only toilet) We were told that this was a very different kind of backpackers (thank god) and that a lot of people moved over here from Sydney Central Backpackers. Our double room was 80 dollars (15 more than next door) but... More

Stayed in a private double for almost a week in March, and we really enjoyed it. The hostel has a lot of charm, and is decorated really well. We got a special rate since we booked for a week, and it was cheaper than many of the hostels we stayed at down the coast. Pros - Rooms were well equipped,... More

In the two times I have visited Sydney over the years I have stayed in Eva's. Great place, great atmosphere and good location. Basic but clean and friendly. When I am back at Sydney I will stay again. Love the roof terrace! More

I stayed at Eva's my first days in Australia. After a looooong flight from Copenhagen I was a bit worried about staying in a dorm with five other female guests, but it was no problem at all. We also had a private bathroom to share and I never I had to wait my turn. Inside the room there were also... More

The welcoming wasn't very cordial. The kitchen and dining room were nice with a fireplace.The twin room we stayed in was a bit cold as there isn't any central heating. Room was basic and small but okay. Bathrooms were very clean and heated, which was nice. All in all it was a good place to stay but not very special. More

A very friendly hostel with friendly and helpful staff. I loved the cosy kitchen. Great location in Sydney too :) Really nice big bathrooms (obviously recently renovated), clean though a bit old-style room. I would definitely stay there again if I were to go back to Sydney again ! Oh and I heard they have a nice rooftop area, but... More

We stayed in a tiny double room with a window looking at a wall within 2 meters. At 80 dollar we thought this was expensive. The kitchen is very wel equipped except for the amount of stoves and room in the fridge. The bathrooms are spotless but there are too few. There is a very very smalle tv room. The... More
