Booked a girls dorm, not worth the extra money. Kitchen was very dirty :-/ Had rotten food on shelves, despite notes all over that the kitchen is cleaned regularly. To much of a young crowd, not hostels fault but not for me. Reception always took forever. Expensive Internet. more

If you're looking for a hostel in Sydney then this is your place. If you're looking for a hotel in sydney then it isn't. The place was nice and seemed secure.

I stayed in Base Sydney at the beginning of January after deciding to extend a New Year's Stay. It was a little pricier than some other hostels but I had heard good things about Base so decided to give it a go. I stayed in a mixed dorm with 4 others and the room was rather small and cramped, with... more

Base Sydney is more than a hostel. It is clear, new and has a friendly atmosphere. Their rooms are large enough and well-climated. more

We stayed at the Melbourne one aswell and just felt that it was a lot better, more spacious rooms etc. I would stay here again. Staff are helpful and couldn't... more
