Good service! very nice and kind 💯
But this hotel very original (truth)
You need to pay a deposit to check in, and there were cockroaches on the wall while I was sleeping.Environmental hygiene is very bad
「the people here are friendly and welcoming」This is very good

This is my first time at the original backpacker.
Answer my phone call when I was late check-in, the guy was very polite.
Reception - very friendly and helpful show me around.
Location - convenience at King Cross with 2 supermarkets, food shop, shopping centre.
Friendly roommates with all women.
Other backpackers are very respectful. No noise after midnight.
I'll be back😊

Looking for an unforgettable stay in Sydney? Look no further! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hostel that offers the perfect combination of convenience and comfort, right near Sydney's top attractions.
This hostel boasts an unbeatable location, placing you within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Exploring these renowned sites and immersing yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere has never been easier.

Good location, just a 5 minute walk from Kingscross Station.
I stayed in a room with 4 bunk beds lined up.
I think it was a relatively nice place.
