Very disappointing experience. The hostel was in an unacceptable state of cleanliness: blood on the sheets, very dirty floors, and filthy showers. Moreover, despite a flexible reservation, my request to cancel the last night (made more than 48 hours in advance and before check-in) was denied, contrary to what I was told at the reception. Service normally aimed at young people… to be avoided, there are plenty of hostels in Sydney to find much better ⚠️ remember to rely on recent reviews (not like me…)

After getting the train from Sydney airport to town hall station, you’re grateful that your hostel is just round the corner and easy to get to. The only thing standing in your way now is the homeless man on the pavement outside. You check in with a fellow Brit at reception and are asked to download the ‘Goki’ app. “Please,” you say, “I’ve stayed at a Nomads before. I know the gig.” Your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get your luggage in the slow and small elevator. But you know that as soon as you make for the stairs, that’s when the doors will open. So you wait… and wait… Eventually you make it to your room and decide to take a shower. However, you have to kneel down to access the trickle of luke-warm water that comes of out the shower head because you’re not a dwarf. You also go to fill up your water bottle, trying to be eco conscious and not buy a new one. But because your bottle is slightly bigger than 15ml you can’t fit it under the tap in the sink. So you go on a quest to find the kitchen in the basement. Upon seeing the state of cleanliness that the kitchen is in, you have second thoughts about cooking tonight and instead choose health over food poisoning. Fortunately, you’re in the city centre with an abundance of places to eat nearby. You go and treat yourself because you’re staying at Sydney Nomands, you need something to get you through.

I spent ages trying to look this up as X Backpackers, Nomads back packers and you have this listed as Base Backpackers. I booked this for 4 nights $214-00 which was quite reasonable. When I got there they said it was $215-60 which I paid. No when I got the receipt in my yahoo it was $220-5 as $4-90 fee. When I complained about this they said it was the agent fee. I sent feed back to the manager and she said they have taken this on board and should pay by Eftos at the hostel and not Visa through an agent. However the lady receptionist was very nice and gave me a single room for no extra charge. I also got two sausages and two pieces of bread and two drinks free at a barbeque night. The housekeeping was rather slack as in four nights they never came to the room and changed the towels, sheets ,empty the bins or new shampoo, conditioner and gel. The receptionist gave me a new towel and went to housekeeping and got gel, shampoo and conditioner but never said to them how slack they were The room was clean. nice bed and secure with a code to get in and TV in the room, so had an enjoyable stay. I never left the milk in the fridge as last time it got stolen or thrown out. Luckily it was ot too hot so not go off!
