They make money and care not about the place. - the maintenance was terrible. The fridge was overflowing with expired milk and rotten-gone-black vegetables. Things were falling apart and very unkempt. - sheets were dusty, and "hard to reach" corners in the room, below table etc. - were never vacuum. - room with weird smell. Having seen our heavy laugage... More

This hotel/backpackers is excellent value for money in an excellent location... 5 minute walk from central station and paddys market and china town and not much more than 10-15 walk from all the other sights ..... we had a double en suite room which was clean and tidy ... The place is old but full of character and everything seems... More

We all know how expensive Sydney accommodation has become so this hotel was a good little find. Right on George Street and within 10-15min walk of everything makes this place a good start. Stayed in a Budget Single Room, Small room but clean, Single bed but very comfortable, The shared toilet and showers were clean. This place is not the... More

For the price, don't expect too much. But for a backpackers, the service, overall cleanliness, and rooms are good. The kitchen is small, and a little dirty (the fridge is a mess), but I don't think that's entirely the management's fault. I was very impressed with how clean the bathrooms and toilets were, and the availability of hot water. The... More

I was there with friends for a night. We took the family room, which was only AUD110 a night! We chose this backpackers because of its central location. Overall, this is a good, decent, no frills and value for money backpackers. Despite the place looking slightly old and dull, what I really liked were: - Clean sheets - Convenience store... More

Even though this is a budget 2 star accommodation/backpackers it served our needs well.. It is very well located near to all the shops and very handy to Central Railway station. There is No LIFT and you have to use the stairs all the time.. Staff were friendly and helpful More

Room type: Twin @ $73 per night. Our room was on the 2nd floor, so it was shielded from most street level noise. No tv, but it's not necessary. Fan provided in the room, but no air conditioning. At this time of year this was not a problem, but in Summer, it might get too hot. Communal bathrooms. Bathroom availability... More

George is a perfect hostel, located smack downtown Sydney. The free bus stops right outside the front door, Scruffy Murphy's around the corner serves a great cooked breakfast and there is free internet or wifi in the common room. We stayed in a double room with a private bath and tv (!) for $100, Nothing schmancy, but it was clean,... More

Firstly, I would like to thank you for your feed back regarding our business. I apologize for what must have been an awful night. We have had problems from the pub next door and their sometimes loud music. The noise affects a couple of our rooms that face in the pubs direction. I'm dealing with this but it is a... More
