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.

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!!

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.

セントラル駅からもスーパーからも近い、街の中心まで歩いて行ける。そんな立地の良さで、この値段なのだから、文句は言えません。 　夫婦で個室に結局12泊しましたが、次第に、シャワーなどの温度調節など使い方にも慣れてきました。 　カンボジアやラオスの安宿に比べると、十分ですが、日本と比べると、え・・・と思われるかもしれません。 　台所が電熱のレンジなので、調理に時間がかかるので、ほかの住人とうまく時間をずらし、パスタやビーフンなどすぐにできる料理のほうが良いです。

Sydney

Auberge située à 5 minutes de marche de la station de trains Central et du terminus de greyhound. Les toilettes sont situées au premier étage, si vous avez une chambre au deuxième étage alors il faut vous déplacer au premier. Planchers en bois recouvert de tapis qui font du bruit quand vous marchez. Gros avantage vous avez un restaurant Little Ceasar à la sortie de l'auberge.

Lovely hostel!

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.
