Hands down the worst place I have ever stayed, dirty, stinking, loud, drug peddling hell hole!! My $50 a night single room would be comparative to a cell in Bankok prison no window, broken fan matress on the floor. Wanted to leave but couldn't get any refund since I payed my two weeks in advance, once again the worst place... More

I stayed here for 5 months in total, during two stays from 2011 to the beginning of last year... unintentionally! I didn't want luxury and didn't get it. What I DID get was amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. In terms of cleanliness the staff try really hard, but the guest do not look after the place. Yes it is a... More

The floor carpet Was so dirty you won't want to take your shoes off in there, trust me on that. Also before having a sleep... More

This is a big backpackers hostel with a lot of rooms. - No elevator. I had to drag 2 large suitcases up the stairs. - The room was very, and I mean very, small. Only one window which needed to stay open to get some fresh air. We had 2 large suitcases and other backpacks/bags and there really was no... More

I arrived early in the morning and was able to check straight in to my single room, which I really appreciated. The staff member even carried my bag up the three flights of stairs - very kind. Staff were fantastic throughout my stay. The mattress in my single room was akin to a slab of concrete - I felt like... More

We arrived to maze early and was great because they gave as our room before two o'clock. The staff is very kind and energetic. The kitchen and the bathroom are very clean because a person is cleaning all the time. The rooms are not the best, a little bit dirty and very small, without closet.

Stayed here on a trip to Sydney for my last week in Australia in April. Super cheap hostel and very central but I get the feeling that since Maze bought the building off whoever they haven't done any work to it! The building is falling apart, there are holes in some of the walls, the fans in the room don't... More
