The good thing about this property (“Captain Cook Hotel” under the new name “Clover Backpackers”) is the location, near Oxford Street, but that’s pretty much it! The rooms are quite a mess, full of dust and the bunk beds are old and worn-out. In the kitchen aren’t any plates or cutlery, you need to get it from the reception for a 10$ deposit and in the fridge we saw mold!! Also it’s very loud in the evening, because there’s directly a bar. WiFi isn’t working and the toilets and shower facilities needs to get improved (very dirty and old as well)! The new owner is really, really rude and disrespectful! He kicked us out of the Hostel and called the police in the middle of the night, because we smoked some cigarettes on the balcony (there was a ashtray on the table and no sign that smoking is not allowed). Very bad attitude and experience! If you want to have a nice time and a good accomodation in Sydney, do yourself a favour and do not stay there (although it is very cheap)…

Very good value accommodation with a fantastic location to the city! Travelling with my girlfriend and we stayed here, very friendly staff and comfortable rooms and clean amenities. Nothing flash - but far better than we expected, would happily stay here again, especially given the value! Highly recommend the bistro downstairs especially for backpackers - delicious food, well priced for backpackers and a friendly chef too, a very good experience all in all! Great service, thank you!

We (two girls aged 20) had booked the room online and when we arrived we were greeted with a very welcoming and helpful staff who were very sweet and helpful. While we were there, there was a renovation of the whole place, but this was at no time a problem or a nuisance. We enjoyed following the development of the place, from a worn out place to being super nice clean and new. Every day, we were greeted with smiles and friendly jokes from the employees and residents. we felt at home quickly and chose to stay the same place when we were getting home to Denmark from Australia (we flew from Sydney) We would definitely recommend the place to people who would like to live a place for backpackers who want to stay cheap but do not want to lose the fun and personal place surrounded by people who are passionate about creating a good atmosphere and doing their job the best they can and help with as much as they can.…

this hostel has only one thing: that makes you want to find a better one. Small bedroom (and when I say small it's because you can't move in it); dirty kitchen, bathroom that smells like piss, broken fridges, no WiFi. I payed 20$ per night but it worth 5. Boys and girls have separated floors. Worst ever
