This a great budget place to stay right near central station. Yes, its not luxurious but its all you need. They provided free breakfast too which was nice, although we were out too early to enjoy it. I would recommend for a budget stay.

The staff were very friendly and very helpful in the very short notice, check-in was easy and the room was perfectly fine for what I needed. Access to transport was easy (pretty much straight at the front door or not that far walk away) and food eateries are also close by.

Didnt really have the breakfast but the staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Beds were pretty comfy for what you pay for and its just a few minute walk from central station as well which makes it so accessible. Theres a light rail just in front of it and another a few minutes away.

I stayed 3 days in a small room in backpacker hostel, shared bathroom, 2 bunks. It's pretty much what it says on the label. It's a hostel, so bring your own soap - and towel (or they'll rent you one). It has - Great AC Free breakfast. Free wifi. That good hostel vibe 15 minutes walk from ICC Darling Harbour, through interesting streets - Chinatown etc. It was quiet except for the rumble of trams. One thing - the address (790 George) is out side a convenience store who have no idea where the hostel is. Your have to go around the corner to Haymarket st to get in. Would I go back? Probably.
