The hostel is run by new staff who are really kind and ready to help you. You can see that they are doing a lot of work to renovate it and give it a new life with a lot of love 💖 Excellent and rich breakfast 😋 Hot and clean showers with all the necessary products. I had a good time🌻💣 If you search a hostel in Sydney, run with love and passion and also cheap this is the right one for you!
I had a truly terrible experience at Sydney Central Backpackers. I paid $200 for a night, and it was a complete waste of money. The rooms were disgustingly smelly, and I couldn't breathe properly. To make matters worse, it didn't feel safe at all. The windows were broken, which is a serious security concern. The overall cleanliness of the place was appalling. Mould was everywhere, and I even spotted bugs in my room. It was like a nightmare. The kitchen, which is usually an essential part of a backpacker's hostel, was a disaster. It was a mess, with dirt and clutter everywhere. I would strongly advise anyone considering staying here to think twice and look for better options in Sydney. This was one of the worst accommodations I've ever experienced, and it's not worth the money or the risk to your health and safety.
