It was horrible. The linen we’re dirty when we arrived VERY dirty. The floor as well. The toilets were partly not useable and we saw cockroaches in the building. For this amount of money you can get something WAY BETTER. we left early because we weren’t comfortable there.
The bed is comfortable but the other tenants were scattering their stuff all over the place. It was crazy. It felt like I was in a land mine and trying to avoid detonating the mines!
WI-FI is NOT free ,is the only place in my life where I had to pay for wi-fi,would be better to write so I can make my choice, without surprises,internet non e gratis ,
Had the best time - great value for money. HIGHLY recommend stay:)
Hostel is awesome tons of activities every nite helpful staff they try hard to please and cafe has affordable food and drinks RECOMMEND STAY :)
loads going on in the hostel. really fun.
Awesome night activities and cool café & bar:) big hostel and new owners are fixing some of the stuffed doors
Overall the hostel was great. Location was right near the city and was walking distance to Kings Cross (night life). Can't fault the cleanliness or the security which was great being a solo female traveller. Hostel has organised activities that were good for meeting people + a new café that serves yummy food at very cheap prices (compared to the rest of Sydney)
I had the best time at Elephant. The staff were amazing and created a travel plan of Sydney for me! Hostel is big but it has a family feel with travellers from Europe - so great crowd to mix. I plan to return after my travels.
Read mixed reviews but thought worth a try - heard some good word of mouth! it was awesome - they organise entertanment daily to pubs and clubs that are fun and cheap. very friendly atmosphere and staff allways helpful they were on a mission to kill any bug or fly and kept hoovering my room (sometimes when I wanted to sleep late from too much of nite before) all good:)
Very friendly caring hostel dispite being big. Rooms have clean sheets and staff try to put you in with other people they think you will like. Made friends specielly at entertainments nights. Wld recommend :)
I`ve just had a wonderful stay at HBC Hostel and even prolonged my stay one extra week because I enjoyd it so much. The people here, both personal and guests, are extremly welcoming and helpful for confused turists. There were events planned every night eith good deals on great clubs. The café next door have a great breakfast meny and nice dinner food served with lots og hospitallity. The only bad thing I could say is that it`s often loud in the common areas so it`s not suitable for people who need a quiet place. But if you wanna have a good time, live at HBC :)
the kitchen is very too small and the fridge extremely nasty! It doesn't make you want to cook there! some of the resident had to share one bed even if they paid for 2 and the backpacker can get extremely load by night. If you're looking to have fun, it's the good place, but definitely not for a quite time in Sydney.
It is very well locate it, walking distance to many atractions, bus and train stops. The rooms are very big and the hostels looks clean all the time.
This establishment is fine! Near to town, cleaned regularly, things are being renovated... good for staying! AND free breakfast! Definite recommendation. (That's from a South African living in Scotland)
