Home Backpackers Sydney Guest Reviews

3.6 out of 5

Building is rundown but relatively clean. Quiet location and handy to Central Station. Free bus loop bus stops outside. If you are not staying in your room except to sleep a good cheap accommodation stay. Did not appear to have any heating for winter so check if you need winter warmth.

Not having stayed at backpackers before I was unsure of what to expect. The location was very good, nice and central with only a 5 - 10 minute walk to anywhere I needed to be. The building although reasonably old seemed clean. The facilities are basic with one shower and a couple of toilets per floor (about 10 rooms) but I never had to queue for the shower. A communal kitchen and TV lounge offerred th opportunity to meet other guests. Free internet is available at reception or wireless elswhere if you prefer for a fee. Early checkout is accomodated and you may also use towels upon payment of a reasonable bond which is refunded on return of the towel. I thought the room rate was a little bit more than I would have liked to have paid. Overall a good stay for short term.

Home Backpackers is a very old basic accommodation, a bed to stay overnight, good location, service is OK and pricing is good. But I would try another better hotel next time. Thanks.

Excellent location and friendly staff. Could do with a bit of tidy up to the rooms and the bathrooms, the light in my room didn't work so lucky I had my torch! Most important the bed was good and the room was quiet considering it is in the middle of the city.

Very basic, bit shabby, but great location, cheap and felt safe. Mixed ages staying which surprised me and all guests that I met seemed well behaved and friendly. Beds clean and comfortable, linen clean and professionally laundered. Clean, modern shower room but shower head not fitted to wall properly so not as good as it could have been. Kitchen small, cramped and not very inviting, large communal fridges which I didn't use. Big lockers in room but very flimsy locking device which required you to supply your own padlock, I personally wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving valuables in it just clothes.

Good enough for a short-stay, atmoshpere looks cool without excessive noise. Great location with a bus stop right in front of the door-steps. Free internet service is also cool. the only thing makes you down is the unstable hot water.

Although the room is a little bit too small (which is probably to suit the price), I had a good impression of the service and the location of the hotel. I'll definitely come back to stay in this place again.
