Avis de Hostelz.com
The Original Backpackers Hostel is centrally located and a good hostel for just about anyone. It is well run and laid out and, although very big, is welcoming and very accommodating.

The Location

The hostel is a huge Victorian building in Kings Cross. The hostel is easy to find and well signposted. It's just minutes' walk from Kings Cross train station and an easy to walk into town. However, the less attractive Darlinghurst Road and Oxford Street are also nearby, but not right on the doorstep.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Dorm rooms are large, have high ceilings, are clean with well-kept beds. All rooms have a large mirrors, TV, and fridge, so it is ideal for keeping people from pinching your food. They have private rooms and four-, six-, to twelve-bed dorms, which are obviously a bit cheaper. The door locks seem good and secure and the windows are lockable and barred. The staff are also available twenty-four/seven which is always helpful. The bathrooms are very clean, white, and funky, and there's lots of hanging space in each cubicle.

Common Spaces

The huge kitchen is in a big courtyard area with long dining tables and good big food preparation areas. The outside undercover seating area in the courtyard just outside the kitchen would be lovely in the summer months. The TV room is cosy with sofas and chairs but is fairly small. The three computers offer internet but no photo uploading and are available in the kitchen area. The staff and manager are very welcoming and eager to help and the hostel seems to be generally run very well.

Summary

Overall the hostel is very well run and welcoming. The rooms are much better quality than some rooms in Australia and are comfortable for long or short stays.

Very good
i stayed here for one month and it was awesome! The staff are really nice (except that cleaner who wakes you up a 9 in the morning yelling "I'll come back in ten minutes, everything has to be in order" -- really harsh girl!). The backpacker's really worth it! And plus, it's in Kings Cross, which really rocks! You're near to everything and you have a great view of the city!

i was here in december 2006. i was a little nervous when i arrived here. i travel all the time on my own. i still get nervous when visiting a hostel, however i was greeted by kerry who was most hospitable. she showed me around the hostel, and she always had a smile on her face. i also met bruce the manager he was kind as well. There are good aspects about this hostel, for example fridge, television, showers, toilet inside every room, good kitchen, and a television room with sky television. It's also close to Opera house. i walked there and took me fifteen minutes to walk there. there are also organised nights out at this hostel so if you're on your own like myself, it's a good way to meet other travelers. i would return back to this hostel again, it's a good, friendly hostel.

I had a great time at Original Backpackers in Sydney.Great atmosphere and always something to do, whether it be watching movies on a rainy day, or going out to the club at night it was always fun. The staff were always friendly and helpful while showing strong knowledge of the surrounding areas. Recommend this hostel to anyone coming to Sydney.

Great hostel with nice rooms (TV and fridge) and very helpful staff. Just the kitchen is a bit to small... It is very close to the subway and Bondi Beach.

Clean? You're joking aren't you? I have just checked out of this place, as it is the biggest sh*t hole ever! I got here late and was greeted by a musky room smelling of bad breath and dirty knickers and bugs crawling in the bed and up the walls! Not nice! Also the girls who had stayed in the hostel for about two months had taken the room hostage and there was no room for any of our stuff!
