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 :-)
