FantasticSolo stay
Keeping in mind that this is a hostle, the private room I had was small but very clean and comfortable. I didn't see a dorm but the other guests seemed to be having a very good time.

Good We checked in late due to our flight was delayed nobody in check in counter. Receptionist came after 30 minutes and we are able to get in. It was sunday evening, it was a happy hour with a small space to walk due to guest are in the walkway drinking, singing and smoking weed. It was peaceful and for us conservative traveller the ambiance we don’t like. But we some nearby hostel because we extended our stay in Sydney for 2 2 nights it was calm and quiet unlike the Original. In that particular there are many hostels and a walk to train station.

Wouldn’t rush back - private room does not look anything like the condition it was advertised in. Not convinced it had been cleaned & am pretty sure someone came in my room (not to service it) while I was away.

Clean hostel all around. You could see cleaning done everyday. The kitchen was a huge plus for me because it saved me a lot of money on eating out. Three dinners were provided each week promoting social interactions with other guests. If I need a place to stay in the future I will be back

I can't comment on the amenities as I had to cancel my 2 night booking less than half an hour after making it. They failed to respond at all to repeated requests from Wotif for a refund, but instead chose to just take ALL of my money and refund nothing even though their own policy says they are entitled to take one night. Why? because THEY took too long to reply to Wotif's multiple requests. So the lesson here is if there is a possibility that you may have to cancel a booking, DON'T BOOK WITH ORIGINAL BACKPACKERS! They'll just take your money anyway.
