Guest reviews for Base Sydney - Hostel
Room was small and noisy from the traffic. Check in system and room key was annoying - had to download an app and use that to access the room. Walked to the furthest away room & it didnt work. Had to wait for 5 mins before we were given a post it note with an 8 digit code to type in everytime you need to access the room

Hi Traveler, Thanks for your review. We understand that with so many young people the facilities can get messy at times. This is why we've decided to hire extra staff to clean the kitchen and communal bathrooms even more often so we can guarantee clean facilities for everyone. We hope to see you again in the future. Cheers, The Base Team
included internet was so slow i had to pay extra.

App needed th book in !!!
Pros:
It was near where we needed to be, for our very quick over night visit to Sydney. The staff were very nice
Cons:
The bed in room 106
The App process is annoying ...
Location:
Close to Sydney CBD Darling Harbour The Rocks Circular Quay ... greatvfor walking everywhere
On arrival I had to download an App on my phone before I could confirm my booking even though I had all the booking details in an email and sms. Then the App process failed it took over an hour to confirm my room...lucky there is a bar in the Scary Canary.
We had room 106 which came with ear plugs, thank goodness as the air conidtioning ducts in the room hummed all night.
The double bed was uncomfortable and sunk to the centre, thank goodness there was the bunk up the top.
The room was clean the sheets were fresh the price was good for the 7 hours we were there.
The counter staff member Alexander was good.

Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again soon! Much love, Base Crew
Cheap city location
Pros:
Location is central.
Cons:
Install a second lift.
Reduce noise carry over from the pub next door and in reception area.
Location:
Close to Darling Harbour and Chinatown.
Noise from the club next door went into early hours of every morning - even during the week so this was not restful - including hearing loud singing and after effects of alcohol. Woke up tired every day due to lack of sleep.
Ensuite rooms had no fridge and were not cleaned daily eg. cups, towels -sometimes replaced but not all of them?
Lift is too small and only one for the whole hotel. Need to install a 2nd lift.
Reception area has loud music playing during opening hours - not restful after travelling or a day out on the town.

Thank you for leaving a review with us mate! We apologise for the inconvenience. Base Crew
City hostel - what else to expect
Needing a roof over your head for a night/ few nights then it'll do... personally was in a room above a club that had very loud music from early evening (7-8) until early morning (3-4) - so not a good night's sleep. Bed's acceptable, and shower room... communal areas loud and usually busy... cleaning services a little too expensive i thought ($4 for wash, $4 for dry, and $4 for powder). Overall, for the budget what it was, 3/5.

Easy Stay in the Heart of Sydney
Pros:
Central location, big dorm rooms, clean and central location. Airport shuttle bus.
Cons:
Need new mattresses as the ones in use (at least) the one that I got was exceptionally old. Please see note above.
Location:
Close to really cheap eats in the city and some great pubs.
I was only staying overnight so I don't know what it would be like to stay for a few days. The room that I was in was large and clean. The sheets and pillow cases were clean but the mattress was very old. I spread my doona on the bed to cushion the springs and covered myself with the spare sheet which is fine as it was warm weather. Maybe a problem in winter. If I needed a quick and cheap overnight stay I would certainly go there again.
