Funk House BackPackers Hostel

Amazing
this is an amazing hostel, all the staff are great. it's fun to stay. all the people that stay in the hostel are lovely and all in all i had a great stay.

This hostel is a disgrace, it's run very badly, unclean, and the rooms are tiny. Fifty meters from the hostel is a prostitute and transvestite district! If you want to sleep, don't go here, as across the road is a club that opens from 10 a.m. until 7 a.m. the next day. The music is really loud, and the noise is crazy. Also the fans in the rooms are rubbish, so your room is hotter than the equator! All the hostel seems to promote is drinking and clubs, it doesn't promote the right attractions. Also do not have the free breakfast -- the kitchen's dirty anyway and they keep the food in a garage-like room! The location is good, as it's a twenty-minute walk to the Opera House, but only one member of staff was hepful - Ben! Sydney was brilliant, just wished we had a different hostel.

This is an awesome place to stay. well located in the heart of King's Cross. the rooms are of average size but well ventilated. Great friendly crowd. The toilets and bathrooms are clean. I had a great time. I would go back again.

This hostel is terrible! I have been traveling for a year now and this is by far the worse. We booked a doulble the room smelt and had not been cleaned since the last people. The bed was dirty with stains all over it. We let reception know and the girl did not really seem to care. Someone else had a key to our room and decided to let themselves in early in the morning. So we were worried about going out and leaving all our stuff. Free breakfast! who cares the kitchen is dirty!

Thank god we only booked for 1 night. We booked a double room with fan, fridge and TV. TV didnt work, fridge was filthy and the fan was crap and noisy!!! Avoid this place at all costs!!!!

The funk house is a very small hostel, the other guests are generally horrible. I found bugs in the room we were staying in and the kitchen was always closed before normal time. Also food when missing from the kitchen. There are better 1s in sydney for less money.

Recommended to us by friends, this hostel didn't disappoint us. The dorms were good, the location was great but most of all the people were fantastic. Everyone was really friendly and we made some great new mates. We will definitely stay here again if we re-visit Sydney!

This place is majorly dodgy! The room was dirty and smelly, and the TV in the room didn't work. We had intended to stay here a week, but checked out after one night!! Avoid this hostel!!

As dodgy as any other. All hostels around Sydney have one if not more guests dealing drugs. It's accepted by the establishment since it's all indoors, and in fact that's all there is to do on the roof. The doors are cool and the staff is great, but it's extremely loud and noisy -- good luck trying to sleep.

The Funk House is the best hostel in Sydney, if not Australia. I've stayed at many, and had the most fun in this one. I trust the people who live and work there, and there are always cool people to chill out with. The staff and guests staying here always take care of the hostel and each other.

Pretty dodgy hostel. The painting is cool but the rooms are quite small. I was a bit put off being put in a room with two shady guys cutting drugs on the table. Bathrooms pretty clean but not the rooms or common areas. Staff fantastic, however, very friendly and helpful.
