What people say
Staff were amazing - Aimee was so helpful and friendly - she absolutely
made our stay at maze fantastic! All the staff were extremely helpful
and friendly - we had to most interaction with Aimee and loved her top-
notch customer service skills. We were two mature sisters who are young
at heart and she made us feel like we were 'one of the gang' -
our age did not matter. :-) The convenience of the location is second to
none. Kitchen facilities were outstanding - very clean and very well-

Location is very good. Walking to distance to central station which allows you to travel to most of the place on Sydney. Airport to this hotel, take airport train to Central station then u will be here. Generally, this is a decent place and not fantastic but acceptable. However, even in cold weather the room is a bit warm, thus not so sure how warm the room would be during summer as the fan does not appear to be very helpful.
Great location & value for money. We stayed in a twin room (shared bathroom). Amazingly the room was comfortable, the bathrooms & toilet was cleaned all the the times. The bunk bed was comfortable with donna. Reception is 24hours so when we have to checked out at 5am there was actually someone there. The airport transfer was also on time! Love it all about this backpackers.
-even if there are parties going on, I did not hear them at all, my room was quiet, clean and ok.
-bathrooms are clean
-free meals were good
-it is in the middle of the city, 10 min to Central, 10 to Darling Harbour, 20 min to the Rocks/Circular Quay, shopping 2 min....
Location was awesome - close to Central and all the highlights of the city.
Free Goon night.
Definitely value for money - you pay for what you get but what you get ain't bad when all you need is the basics =o).
Great location near by central train station and city center. Room was relatively small room with only bed and chair, but enough for short stay. Typical backpackers place. Shared bathrooms was clean.
Clean accommodation and central location to Sydney entertainment district, Chinatown and Central station (Sydney's Main rail hub) Nothing is ever too much trouble for the fantastic Reception staff,.
Maze was a very good choice for our 4 day stay in Sydney. Easy walk to trains & buses, room comfortable and staff very friendly. recommend to anyone wanting budget room in Sydney.
My friend and I enjoyed our stay. We found the staff and young visitors friendly and helpfully. We would certainly stay there again if we are able to visit Sydney again. Jean raby.
Staff friendly, bathrooms and facilities often cleaned, confortable and clean bed, secured room. Activities purposed (Tv, free pancakes...) and vouchers given for drinks outside.
Easy to book (online), easy to check in. Great atmosphere, especially
evening-meal time. Kinda fun to watch others having fun as I worked at
my laptop. Room, facilities clean.

We liked the atmosphere of the whole place friendly fun and buzzing The staff are excellent especially Sarah and Dan the entertainment managers. Brilliant craic.
It is very near from places on interest and I like the concept of thorough checking of keys to avoid outsiders coming in. There is a sense of security.

I like the room that I got. It was a single room, clean and quite far from the crowd as I was in need of quiet night...

Friendly staff and meeting lots of new people.
As can be expected in backpackers, the bed wasn't the most
comfortable and it was a little inconvenient trying to get up on the top
bunk without a ladder of any sort. Ladies toilet and showers could have
been cleaner but that is also up to the guests to use the facilities.
Bathroom is not very clean so as the bedsheet. The room quite warm and the fan does not appear to be helpful as it is small and weak. Quite crowded and you may not feel secure although it is in fact quite safe.
Nil.
the internet the offer is really poor, dont buy the GlobalGossip, just go to Vodafone and get yourself a prepaidcard...
nothing!.
No lift.
It's called Maze for a reason. I got a bit lost finding my room
despite (probably) good directions. I'd like more signs. I even had
to ask which way out when I was art the wrong staircase...
very old. has not been renovated for a long time. room has nothing except a bed and a chair . the bedding was ripped and stained. have to walk upstairs no lifts.
the toilet dont have water pipe!.
Rooms a bit plain and fridges never any space.
Noisy needed to buy ear plugs.
Elevator needed! It is too hard to move heavy baggage to 3rd floor.
Cleaning staff weren't very friendly. First room we or smelt of sick, but got upgraded and that didn't smell. Bathrooms were a bit shabby, but not horrific.
The mattresses were very poor and hard so it was not really comfortable. It felt like lying on an iron fence.
Internet service needs improving. Kept freezing.
Nothing too much. Its what you pay what you get.
I stayed in the private room and I could perfectly hear everything (including conversations) from the rooms next to mine. So, no noise isolation at all.
Nothing.
the times that the bathrooms were cleaned were very inconvenient.
A few staff (only 1 or 2) came across as unfriendly almost to the point of rude. Also the room smelt really bad from the moment we checked in and throughout the stay even with the window always open.
Shared bathroom outside if bedroom and had to walk down the hall. It's a bit noisy but it's a party hostel so I don't complain.
Some parts a little scruffy, but what can you expect at this price and level.
The mattress on the bed was uncomfortable :( the pillow needs to be thrown out and replaced and the room was freezing because the window was broken.
Room was very hot during a warm night in Sydney, small fan in room was inadequate to circulate any air.
Someone complains about the cleaning, but it is difficult to maintain a clean place with more than 500 people inside.
None.
Worst mattress ever!.
Bathrooms could be cleaner.
Hot room.
Not very clean sheets but everything else was fine considering the price.
beds were not that comfortable.
Nothing.
No hot water for the majority of my stay. Cold showers everyday!.
All was ok.
Bed a tad small.
the showers as they need a little repairing done, clothing gets wet as flooring has no run off.
