The accommodation is a bit more rundown than the pictures and to get a blanket and more then 1 pillow you have to pay a deposit that you get back at the end of your stay but still annoying another $30 I could of spent on my holiday and with no heater in the room you do need it also the hand dryer in bathroom didn’t work the whole time I was there and the sanitary bins had not been emptied in days. But the staff were lovey

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.

The staff were nice, although one lass seemed really confused every time I spoke to her. The room itself was clean, beds were comfortable enough, but the bathrooms were disgusting. There was always water on the floor of the toilets, the sanitary bins were overflowing, the hand dryer didn't work and it was just generally unpleasant and run down.

They have a discounted parking deal with a parking site very close by which was very reasonable. Room with double bed small but you expect that in a hostel. Great location in Haymarket.
