Newtown Backpackers

The location and atmosphere. Accessibility to pubs and dinning venue.

Room was very basic, and the building was very old bordering on disrepair in places but the location was brilliant and it was a great, cheap option in a very lively fun area of Sydney to explore. Staff were friendly and we were very grateful for the luggage storage and access to shared amenities when we arrived early. We would stay again. Also, Biscoff biscuits - what an absolute treat.

Every day the staff clean all rooms and the kitchen, there are always someone to help you in the reception, everyone are kind and attentive. Train station is close, you have many restorant, supermarket and whatever you need close to the hostel

Although we didn't get the original rooms we booked (with ensuites) we were accommodated in a terrace house with shared facilities that was an exceptional and unique stay. It is a backpackers, and we did stay there as a group/family, and there was no issues. The vibe was great. Staff was very helpful despite having problems with our original booking due to maintenance they looked after us well and we got a great deal.

Very nice room with private bathroom, spacious common spaces, large kitchen, pool in the center of the building. Very friendly staff with excellent disposition. The neighborhood with a lot of life, restaurants, food from all over the world. Very good location 20 minutes by train or bus from the Opera and the ferries. I'm going back.
