Ok The woman at the check in wasn't friendly at all -- when she saw that we were living in NSW, she proceeded to question us about why we were using a backpackers and commented that it was "weird." When we asked whether there were other backpacker hostels nearby, she told us to make up our minds whether we definitely wanted to book a room or not because if not, she didn't want to bother seeing if there was availability! The en-suite double room itself was ok -- the bathroom was new and the best feature in the room. Everything else was relatively clean. The room could have done with a chair or two!
Friendly, comfortable, just like home Was greeted by very friendly staff upon arrival we had booked a double en-suite room, which was very clean and comfortable. good breakfast provided. will definitely stay there again if we visit Sydney and also recommend it to friends.
Very well organized and clean Great location near the central train station. Reception open twenty-four/seven with staff varying from poor to excellent. Fantastic kitchen facilities and common areas with free Wi-Fi. Not the best place to meet new people, too big and not very cozy. The rooms were clean and the bathroom was very nice.
Clean and nice staff I stayed at Big for two nights in January and intend on returning if I'm staying on in Sydney. I was in a four-bed en-suite, which was quiet. There's a TV in every room and lockers. The toilets were clean and had hot water all the time. The air con is great, I actually felt cold sometimes! The common area is nice, the couches are comfy and the TV is great. The kitchen can get a bit busy but has all the main facilities. The free breakfast (cereal and toast) is great in the morning.
Great Value The free internet (limited use) and free breakfast was fantastic. The hostel had great facilities like a big screen TV, lockers, clean bathrooms, and good kitchen. It was also very close to the central railway station. Not a party hostel, which is a good or bad thing depending on who you are.
The best in Australia Big was my first stop in Australia and the hostel and the staff gave me the impression that Australia was going to be an awesome place. No other hostel throughout the entire country came close to meeting the high standards set by this hostel. I stayed at Big again before I went home and was welcomed with a hug from one of the staff who remembered me! It was just such a fun place, clean, friendly, close to everything but the nights on the rooftop terrace were definitely the best.
Brilliantly relaxing This was the best place I stayed in Sydney. The staff were among the friendliest I have encountered on my travels and could help with anything. The kitchen was adequate but very clean and the free breakfast in the morning is better than most. The rooms were quite nice, the bathrooms were very nice, and so overall it was very good. However we only came across it by accident, as it doesn't seem to be very well advertised so maybe they should advertise it more, as it really is a great hostel.
I loved this hostel -- have never stayed in one this nice. Very clean, quiet, friendly. Good breakfast and the internet is never too busy.
We had a great week's stay here. Good kitchen facilities, friendly staff, and met lots of interesting people. Fantastic location, just a short walk to Chinatown. The roof garden was brilliant. I'd recommend it to anyone. The only downside to our stay was the noisy bunch of students from Queensland, who made themselves a right pain in the rear.
Ive stayed in this hostel for ten nights total and can say its simply perfect. Spotless clean rooms, good and friendly staff, great location! Dont have a doubt about staying here. just do -- you wont regret!
This was a great hostel in a good location in Sydney. It had really friendly/helpful staff, clean rooms, relaxed atmosphere. It was much better experience than some of the less personal bigger hostels. And the check-out time of 11 a.m. certainly made things easier! I would definitely stay here again.
Excellent place! Checked in and we thought the bloke on reception looked familiar only to discover it was Brett from neighbours (anyone remember him?). Kitchen was a little small but the free breakfasts were great. Make sure you get there on time though as people go all out and it runs out quickly. Room was spacious and clean with no insects in sight!
This hostel is very nice. Very helpful staff and with a good atmosphere. I ended up staying here for two weeks....I just couldn't leave.
This hostel is wkd - the best, its Very clean, modern and friendly. Theres nothing bad about this place oh actually one minor thing they didnt have channel 10 on telly!!! Everything else was really gud tho -must of been thought for me to stay over 2 months!!
This is def the best hostel in Sydney! It's clean, the staff are really friendly and the lounge area is really cosy (no bar so makes it much more a relaxed atmosphere). There's also a great cafe attached.
I loved this place and would recommend it! (but perhaps not your cup of tea if all you're after is party party party!) Have you visited this Hostel? Post your comments here.
