this backpackers was the cheapest place along william street, sydney. it was right near the train station and a 20-30 min walk to see the bridge and opera house. the place wasclean and tidy and has a huge kitchen in the basement. the guys on the front desk were friendly and helpful too, nat a bad place to stay More

I was in need of accommodation for week in March near the Darling Harbour Convention Centre and as I was passing through Sydney in the first week of January decided to check what was available. I had stayed in the area before and its well suited for backpackers being central to everything but that doesnt mean theyre all going to... More

For a big and busy hostel in the middle of the city, this place had a good feel to it. Great staff. This is a good hostel for folk that want to stay a while as they are happy for this. But still with loads of short stayers, certainly not 'clique', and friendly. Plently of re ferbing work when I... More

My friends, 790 on George is an amazing place ready to greet you with a smile at all times. The location is great, perfect for those who arrive in Sydney for the first time and need to look for a job and apartment, for those who want to party, and those who need to rest after a long trip. The... More

I’m actually quite shocked to read some of the below views – it’s almost like I stayed somewhere else. That, or some people expect more for $20-$30 a night, which I personally think it ridiculous. Maybe try a hotel, not a hostel.. . My boyfriend and I stayed at 790 on George in September. Although I only live 2 hours... More

I stayed here after laeving the much better YHA that is next door. I was working in sydney at the time so thought i would save a few quid and live in this pighole for a few weeks before i moved into my flat. The kitchen is a disgrace and the bathrooms had become even worse since my last trip... More

Stayed for a couple of nights coming back from Cairns. The room was dusty and unclean, the bathrooms worse. Even for a hostel, conditions were unacceptable. Towels could have been collecting old age pensions. Internet access is unreliable at best, and not cheap. While you'll meet a pleasant traveler or two, you'll also encounter a lot of folks who will... More

This was a convenient and very cost effective place to stay. The room was small but served the purpose of a bed for the night. The place could use a good scrub but I was in Sydney to do other stuff, not enjoy my room. It was a bed for the night. As backpackers go this was quiet and very... More

I had wanted to stay here last year but it was full. The reviews still seemed good & their website sounded great so i was looking forward to this. I booked for two nights but was planning to stay a couple of weeks - that did not happen. It looks like it was nice place but the standards have slipped,... More
