I checked in to the hostel Jan 2nd 2012, when I went to the receptionist, it was an English girl, she was so rude, didn't even smile to say hello, It was a terrible welcome to Australia. My room stunk so bad and it was so dark, even in daylight. The hostels is packed with only English people and they... More

This was our first stay in backpacker accomodation, so by default it was the best backpacker hostel we've ever stayed in. Sadly that's where the positive comments end. From the moment we stepped into our room we began to regret it. The room was dirty, dreary and dispiriting. It smelt like a rugby team had spent a week sweating and... More

Thanks to this dirty and disgusting place, I now have bed bugs in my home. Turns out my not so expensive accommodation was expensive as I had to pay for an exterminator. I couldnt be more angry and upset. So a big thanks to home backpackers for costing me my money and sanity. More

The place was dirty, old and loud. I only stayed because it was the only place i could find for a couple days that would let me stay during the busy restricted xmas season.

Don't stay here. It's dirty and disorganised. You have to rent the towels! When we booked in, the room was dirty - old pizza in the fridge and rubbish in the bin and dirty floors. The carpet was threadbare. The toilets were messy and the floors dirty. There were paper towels to dry your hands on, but the tiny bin... More

My partner and I were stuck for a place to stay in Sydney at short notice and we landed here! We read the reviews here and started to panic, however when we checked in the guy on the front deask was super friendly and helpful. We went up the stairs to our room the en-suite double and to our suprise... More
