What people say

I usually stay here when I visit Sydney. It's right in the heart of the CBD and very cheap. There are certainly more luxurious hostels, but you pay more for them. 790 is cheaper, whilst still being a decent place to stay - generally clean, comfortable (you know a good mattress is important when you're staying at a hostel!), and most of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Staff are and were all great, they have a reall family sence going on here, and I like it alot, I been in this indusrty 22 yaers, and its the first back packers I extended my stay! Hahahaha vaule, location. Its got it all.
all reviews » though the average age of guest is under 30, and I'm sure there are party opportunities awaiting, 790 on George is surprisingly quiet and friendly to an older traveler (I'm 54). Spacious kitchen facilities were great. Location was excellent for sight seeing in Sydney. Free shuttle bus up the main road was easy to access. Room was basic but very clean. Big kitchen to cater for guests and to met up with fellow travellers. the facilities are clean and convenient to use, staff and nice to answer my questions. location is excellent, just few steps after getting off in the central railway station. The location was excellent, easy walking distance to places in the city, close to trains and buses. The staff were friendly and helpful, happy to give directions and advice. Good location, friendly staff, nice room, convenience to central station. Go to airport around 15 min. Standard backpackers. Good location, 5 minutes walk to central station, 2km to the harbour. Big kitchen. I really like the location; only 5 minutes walk from Central Station and close to a lot of attractions. Frendly staff, the best location for backpackers, many cheep bistroes near the venue. Location was great. Having access to lockers post check out was also convenient. Friendly staff，edwan is really a nice guy! And the big kitchen is very good. friendly staff location near Central Station and CBD good value for money. It is a valued backpacker. I love it. The location is really great:). The location and staff are both satisfied. location convenience friendly staff. everything was good to great :D. Location, clean. location. To be an hostel is clean, the bathrooms as well. It has got a lift to carry heavy luggages. Central position that avoid you to take the expensive public transport ( if you like walking ) Beeing a hostel me and my brother met few nice people and exchanged some information about travels: that's the good thing to stay in a hostel, is not the most comfortable accommodation but you meet people. Location near central station, walking distance to darling harbour, chinatown, paddy's market. And affordable for backpackers. Location Staff 24hr reception Beds very comfy and mattress spotless Good hot shower/water pressure Overall positive. close to cbd and supermarkets and train station. Friendly stuff, clean room. good value. Friendly, helpful staff, clean room, central location, 24 hour Reception. Secure. Good value for money Comfy bed Great location. Staff really friendly. Best place in sydney. cost and friendly helpful staff. Premier location. really close to the station. pretty clean. Good Location. The guests should clean a litte better. Not the staff I see in the kitchen every day cleaning up after your crap!!!! In a chef, trust me you all need a kick up the bum. Takes 2 secs to clean up your mess and clean it proberly yhe first time, rather than the surfice srub you do that sees other have to clean you crap to cook. Personal rant over hahahaha. Every one good so nothing to whinge about. Just the kitcehen. The loud click when all doors closed due to self closing lock. Most annoying. room is a little bit small....but consider the cheap price, it's really nothing to complian about. The showers and toilet area could have been cleaner. There was a lot of water on the floor in the shower cubicle which made dressing difficult and opened up the possibility of slipping over. A little expensive, but it is Sydney and probably nicer than the cheaper options. None. The cost at boooking.com was higher than at reception. $38 vs $30. the bathroon is not clean. toilets and showers sometimes filthy WIFI-connection not very good - it only worked on level 2. Everything is fine:). People outdoors always keep noisy even in the midnight. It is not suitable for someone really need sleep in the trip. no towels weren't put in the same room. nothing bad to say. My food was stolen at kitchen. Super wobbly bunks. Every tiny movement made it wobble. Didn't feel insecure but I was concerned about how much I was shaking the person on the bottom. Small bedroom, while sleeping you coul hear noise all the time cause rooms are not soundproof. No towels are provided (but you can rent one for 2 $). Couldn't open the bedroom's window ( refered to a double room). Spent 230$ for 3 nights for a double room, which is quite high, but if you want something decent and clean, this is the average price in Sydney. bathroom and the room really dirty. The room is really small for four people inside with luggages. General deep clean of toilet facilities needed. One sink on 4th floor not working in ladies. Carpets not cleaned at wall floor junctions. Our room smelt stale.(again carpet I think). wifi too expensive , loud noises on the floor because of (drunk) backpackers staying there, should have bigger bathroom facilities, more toilets etc. Bathrooms not clean. Not the cleanest hostel A bit noisy. Shower room not really good. There's a club under the hostel, really annoying on the weekend. got top bunk and had trouble as I have arthritic hips. I purchased a 2-hour wi-fi coupon but found only 70mins left when first log-in. The room was very noisy. The door did not fit properly letting in a lot of noise and light. don't like the strong smell in the room. i had to pay for the lock (3$). Bad Cleaniness. Have bugs.
