Location is great and to be honest the hostel is pretty safe. BUT reception is always busy. First day my friend and i arrived, we had to wait forever to check-in and they had some issues with our booking. Couldn\'t put us in the same room for days. Then we had to change rooms 3 times the same week.

Overpriced. Staff is overwhelmed. This hostel sits next door to a party bar, and the base could be felt/heard in te room.

I loved staying here. It's great for anyone who wants to party. The scary canary next door is an awesome bar

Nice place, well located. Although key cards frequently stopped working which meant you were forever going back to reception to get them reprogrammed. The worst part of Base Sydney was the reception desk, there was always a que with not enough staff on so you would que for up to 30 mins at a time. When all you wanted to do was purchase internet time or ask for your mail this was annoying beyond belief.

This was a bad experience for my friend and I considering the reviews we read on line. The only thing that you have going for you is the location. That is it. The staff are the worst part. Not friendly, Not helpful and overall rude.
