Sydney G'Day Backpackers Reviews

The room was filthy,smelt of urine&had smelly sheets on the beds.There was no AC or even a fan.Apparently there was none in the whole building.Needless to say it got hot with 8 people sleeping in 1 room.We couldn't even sleep with the windows opened as we were on the ground floor we were advised by the staff to keep them locked.When they were open when we were there&awake we had strangers jump the fencing&walk through our room to the rest of the hostel&had beggers ask for change.Horrible hostel!

I have never seen such a dirty hostel. The dormatories, the showers (oh my God), the kitchen (oh my God again). Everything is disgusting. And nobody seemed to care about it from the management. Maybe 100 people staying there and only 5 or 6 mugs for the tea/coffee. All dishes and cooking ustensils dirty. They also sold me a one day internet card but forgot to tell me I can use it only in the office - no reception otherwise. Fair enough, but the office is closed more than 13 hours a day! Shame!

location is good but sometimes reseption is closed. I had to wait more than 40 min for check in. Bath room was so dirty. Room is ok. balcony, washbasin and warm soft bedding.

The Hostel is ok. But nothing special.

Let's start by saying mum works at a homeless shelter, and I know how bad 'cheap' living can be. Well, hobo-living has NOTHING on G'day. There's cockroaches. The quarters are FILTHY. The age of the food in the fridge can only be found using carbon dating. Getting across the floor requires skill as there's usually mounds of trash (and passed out peers) strewn across the floor. They say you get what you pay for, but the hobos of the US do better, and you'd have a better night sleeping on a bench.

A long walk from any tourist sites but a short walk to the train station. Surrounded by restaurants. More of a gap-year backpacker hostel than a place to meet other world travelers.

This was the worst hostel I have ever seen, very dirty, painting the walls in the kitchen when guests were cooking, cigarettes everywhere, very unfriendly staff

If you like cockroaches in your breakfast/lunch/dinner, then this is the place for you. The kitchen is an absolute state with all sorts living in it. This may be due to the unhelpful and rude staff who are more concerned about chatting to one another than seeing to guests and basics such as cleaning. WOULD NEVER EVER EVER EVER STAY HERE AGAIN, EVER

Awesome atmosphere. Helpful staff. Great location.

Great hostel, central location and friendly staff.

Very nice hostel. Really clean and a lovely friendly atmosphere.

The hostel was the worst I have ever seen. It was very dirty, very loud and the staff unfriendly and not really anxious to do their job properly.

Good stay, worked out well for me

Friendly staff, very helpful. I've been here twice and I liked it every time. You can walk everywhere.

Location: very good walkable to Sydney centre with touristic highlights. Security: nightlock with code, all dorm doors should be opened with key. Cleanliness: could be a bit better, it was not clean in the dorms and bathrooms.

The cleaning at this hostel is rubbish. They hired backpackers to clean the rooms in exchange for the accommodation, so there was no professional cleaning. Cleaning was done only occasionally and very poorly. OThe hostel lacked basic amenities, such as a closet in the room, and place where to hang laundry. Had to keep EVERYTHING in the suitcase all the time. The front door was open all the time so basically anyone could walk in anytime. The kitchen and the utensils were disgusting.
