We had a great experience at the backpackers hostel in a double room with a private bathroom. the room was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. the location was fantastic, being close to Kings Cross and plenty of cafes. We also appreciated the noise policy, which ensured a quiet and peaceful atmosphere after 10pm. we were delighted with our stay and would definitely return. Cons: Hard to think of anything 🤷♀️.

Great location near stations, supermarket, bars, and restaurants. Walking distance to the Opera House and boat to Manly. - Lovely courtyard area and comfy bed. - Welcoming staff who provide great local information. - Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. - Clean and safe with a refundable deposit for the safe. - Limited free WiFi available. - Good for backpackers as it is close to beaches, bars, and city centre.
Felt so comfortable, nothing to complain about.

Cute and helpful staff, especially Bruce who provided great local information. Limited free WiFi and clean facilities. Despite some noise issues, overall a recommended stay.

Convenient location near train station and amenities. Friendly atmosphere and communal areas encourage socializing. Free breakfast and dinners are a budget-friendly perk. Supermarkets and King's Cross station within close walking distance.

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! the staff at Original Backpackers were incredibly helpful and friendly. They were always available until 10pm to answer our questions and provide tips. We loved the nightly bar outings where we could meet other travelers staying at the hostel. the hostel had a clean kitchen and bathrooms that were cleaned daily. the beds were comfortable with curtains for privacy. Despite the limited free wifi, it was enough to check emails and browse the internet. If we needed more, we could purchase additional data at a cheap price. Cons: Nothing, all great! 😊.

The terrace and veranda were a good place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The staff were nice and helpful, always ready to assist. The location was great, with easy access to popular attractions and public transportation.
The noise level was unbearable at times, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The walls were too thin, and I could hear everything happening in the surrounding rooms.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Convenient location, just a few minutes from public transportation, shops, and restaurants. the free WiFi was a bonus.
The private room was too small for two people and not very clean. the room looked tired and nothing like the photos on the website.

The staff were really friendly and helpful throughout our stay. the location was great, with easy access to public transportation and attractions nearby. - We enjoyed the free breakfast every day and the complimentary dinners a few times a week.
The cleanliness of the property left a lot to be desired. the kitchen facilities were often dirty and there was a lack of clean tea towels available.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff, always willing to help. Convenient location near public transportation and popular attractions. The rooms were spacious, clean, and filled with natural light. Comfortable beds with plenty of storage space. Well-equipped kitchen with a wide variety of cooking utensils. Delicious breakfast options including bread, jams, cereals, and coffee.
During our stay. The lack of individual lockers or cupboards in the dorm room led to a messy and smelly environment.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel. the location was perfect, situated near the heart of the city and also Bondi Beach. the facilities were clean and well, maintained, with a fully equipped kitchen and a 24, hour TV room that even had Netflix! the staff were welcoming and helpful, allowing me to check. the bathrooms were always stocked with toilet paper and hand soap, and some dorms even had balconies. The WiFi connection was excellent, and I appreciated having my own tableware. Cons: Everything was spot on! 👌.
