This place was an unexpected gem! The staff at check in were so friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and the facilities were clean and functional. It is very close to Central train station and there are lots of places to eat nearby. Will definitely stay there again.

The location is the best. As many of reviews said, the building is old and the floor is squeaky, but they are upgrading by painting walls and providing in-room shelves, desk and individual lockers. The hospitality of the staff, especially Ashley working at reception, was super! She was so friendly and attentive to make our stay happy in many ways. I would definitely return to Home Backpackers!!

The lady in the reception was really nice and friendly.
The good thing about this hostel is that you can book a private room for a very reasonable price and its location is amazing.
Bathroom was ok. Overall ok.

Very run down accomodation. Every door and floor is squeaking. Had a room next to entrance door and couldn’t sleep because of the noise from door every time someone entered the building. Also rooms were very run down. Very very basic.

Great hostel, were in a super quiet room, spotlessly clean, bathroom was practically to ourselves which was next door to the room, beds and sheets were so clean and comfy - air freshener in room was a lovely touch! Being like a 1 minute walk from Central was ideal, will definitely stay again and strongly recommend! Lots of free stuff to do everyday eg. Pizzas, nights out, pancakes on the weekend etc. Sadly I was only there for 1 night and had breakfast arrangements so cannot comment on the pancakes - but I bet they were awesome!

It was OK for one night, building quite old. Beds were clean, bathrooms were not in a very good condition (shared bathrooms).
Pancakes in the morning were good.

Close to the train station and cheap for the night. However the bed was creaky, screeched with every movement, hard to get a good night’s sleep. There were no towels so we couldn’t have a shower. The unisex toilet windows faced out on to the rooftop so you could make eye contact with someone while in your cubicle, a little awkward. We arrived at 9pm and left at 7am between a train trip and plane flight, so wasn’t too bad, but wouldn’t want to spend any longer there. The lady who helped us check-in, I think her name was Marnie, was very lovely though.

Great location.

For the price, it’s a decent place to stay for few nights.

I know it is one of the cheapest option available in Sydney, but a hot water kettle and a coffee cup is not too much to ask for a private room.
