I slept in a shared room with six people. It was actually nice being around people I didn’t know and having the chance to chat with them. I felt safe, and everything was reliable. The stuff is very kind and polite appreciate the hospitality. Thank you.

Good location, good hostel

Maze backpackers did exactly what we needed, located in a pretty good spot in the CBD. Sydney is pretty massive, so you need to walk or take taxis to get anywhere fast, but a comfortable walk from the Darling Harbour area with lots of shopping around.

I had a single room - bed was comfy. Sheets blankets pillow were clean. My only complaint was the kitchen was for the whole place it was large but got very hectic - the Casual seating area Had a pool table and again got hectic. - the only place I had to sit was my room - but there was no chair - overall. It was good value - the bad things were just my personal preference on things and previous stays at other backpackers that had supplied them - I did love it was 24/7 for the front desk. Bathrooms were clean ( also I’m 58 im Not into Socialising with lots of people lol ). But would recommend for backpackers who like to socialise :-)

The only room in the entire building that has air conditioning is the reception. Room was stuffy, We had a tiny fan in our room blowing hot air. The bunk beds were not comfy at all. You can feel the springs under the mattress. Bathroom was nice.
