790 on George Backpackers Reviews

790 on George Backpackers, this large and affordable hostel, is in a very central location. There are many leaflets available here to give you some inspiration on how to fill your time in this amazing city.

The Location

790 on George Backpackers is located only a few hundred metres from central station -- just exit on George street and walk straight on, just past the Central Sydney YHA. The location is perfect for travelling within Sydney with buses and trains so close, and it is an easy, thirty-minute walk to Sydney Harbour.

Rooms and Bathrooms

There are many dorm rooms -- including male, female, and mixed -- all at reasonable prices, and weekly rates are available too. Rooms are not spacious, but there is room to store belongings in the personal cupboards and they are clean. The cupboards have personal charging points, and there’s an individual light for each bed. Toilets, kitchen spaces, and rooms all require your electronic key to activate and there is CCTV, so safety is not an issue. There are separate male and female bathrooms on all floors, so queuing isn’t an issue; bathrooms are clean, and of course, have hot water.

Common Spaces

On the second floor, there is a TV room with sofas and a book exchange, perfect for socialising in the evenings or relaxing with a good read. The kitchen is located downstairs, and as this is where the free Wi-Fi is (but don’t expect it to be fast, particularly at busy times of the day) -- it is the heart of the hostel. There are plenty of workspaces, ovens, microwaves, and gas stoves, plus six large fridges and food storage shelves. There’s also a TV, sofas, tables, and chairs. Bag-storage facilities can also be found here. Laundry facilities are available for a small fee. If you’re there on a Thursday, the hostel organises a party in the kitchen with free drinks, however, generally this isn’t a party hostel.

Summary

Due to the low room prices and special weekly rates, the hostel is very geared up toward those on working holiday visas. For those staying a short while, the atmosphere is not that great, as many people already know each other, although the hostel staff are very friendly and helpful, and it provides a good base.
