Blue Parrot Reviews

Would stay again, one of the better hostels in Sydney and one of the best in kings cross.

Good location for clubbing, 20-30 mins walk from the center. Very friendly staff and hostel environment, it made traveling alone as a girl easy.

The hostel was great and I had a lot of fun living there for some days. I definitely recommend staying in this hostel and I will also come back. Nonetheless, I have one thing to complain about the cleanliness: By chance, I saw that a toilet was cleaned with a towel and that this towel was also used to clean the sink and the rest of the bathroom afterwords. It was even left on the kitchen table for a moment. Otherwise I have no complaints at all.

pro: good location at Kings Cross (i.e. taxi/bus/train to the CBD!), very friendly and helpful staff, flexible with reception hours! thank you!! WIFI worked well! con: in my 10bed dorm most guests lived there permanently while working in Sydney. So if you're just travelling you don't meet many fellow travellers; lockers need some repair: very bad air in 10bed dorm unless you have a bed at the window

Lovely Hostel! Had a great time, recommend to everyone who is friendly and like to have fun.

Nice hostel but overrated!! Common area are very too small and bathroom are very old and always wet every where. Very far from CBD. You could sleep very well because you can't use commun area afer 11PM.

A friendly, international staff. Excellent atmosphere and great information when for when you want to find something to do. Nightly staff lead outings to fun places in the area. Parking is hard to come by and expensive so driving is inconvenent but also unneccesary, that's not just this hostel but all of Sydney. Free parking is 20-30 min walk, the staff can tell you where. Two stoves in the kitchen is nice for when more than one person wants to cook. Very convienent location.

Normally the price would have been too much, but Sydney is expensive so it was a good price. Also the people and staff were so amazing it made it way worth the price. So much fun.

We had a fantastic stay. Was a great place to meet new people and have a great time.

I had a great stay at Blue Parrot. Very friendly and helpful staff who provided you with everything from tips on where to go and what to do to taking all the guests out on different activites every night!

The best place to stay if you wanna party in sydney. Still the hostel is nice and quiet in the evening!

i was really impressed with the blue parrot, it really doe's deserve the hype...as a lot of reviews state it is the two sisters that make this place, they are always smiling and very helpful and this rubs off on their staff also. I wasn't in the best of health when i stayed and it was a nice place to chill but equally there are nights out every night so its perfect for both. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to any backpacker.

Absolutely fantastic - had such a good time and have added on another visit to Sydney at the end of my trip so that I can come back!! Staff are all really lovely and everyone looks out for each other. Fab!

A fantastic hostel to meet fellow travellers with a large courtyard, kitchen facilities and an entertainment room. I Thouroughly enjoyed my time here, as did the people i met. i will however mention it is not the ritz. Beds, linen and bathrooms are outdated but are clean and functional. I would not hesitate in returning to the Blue Parrot, and would recommend to all solo travellers.

Nestled in the quiet of Potts Point, a peaceful sleep is guaranteed. Daytime offers supermarkets, cafés and restaurants at your doorstep and 5-minutes walking takes you to the train station. If you like, you can walk to the Gardens in 10, or be Downtown in 25. Some of Sydney's best nightlife is just 5-minutes away and social outings are organized nightly. The staff working here should be teaching hospitality. They excel at making you feel welcome and are helpful, knowledgeable and ever-smiling.

Loved this hostel! It felt like a home away from home and I met some awesome people there. Everyone was really friendly and the hostel was in an excellent location - close enough to the bars of Kings Cross but not too close so it was noisy. The staff were really helpful and the hostel itself was very clean. One of the best hostels I've stayed in.

The Parrot does an excellent job of introducing its guests to the city and its nightlife. The facilities also encourage guests to get to know each other and socialize. If you're into meeting new and interesting people this is great. It's not the cheapest, but the free wifi probably makes up for the cost differential. I would stay again.

this is a small hostel close to kings cross. The staff is very friendly, they take you out every evening if you want to, and make sure the hostel is quiet enough for the people who want to stay in. Big tv room, loads of dvd's, free wifi, a garden/courtyard, comfy rooms. Maybe only the kitchen is a little small... but realy a good place to stay here, would recommend it to everyone!

There are not so many bathrooms for the dorms, so many times you have to wait for the bathroom. That's not so nice.

I throughly enjoyed my time at the blue parrot hostel!! The staff were very friendly and would go out of the way to make you feel comfortable and take care of you. The organised nights out were extremely fun and they made sure to get everyone involved. One of the best nights was meeting two gentleman by the names of blandy and skippy who made me feel very welcome with whisky and cigars. I'd definitely recommend the blue parrot to anyone looking to stay in sydney and explore this wonderful city
