Never again. Am on a 5 month trip, some call it flashpacking, i prefer to think of it as 'depends on my mood packing'. Granted, I have stayed in hotels mainly since leaving in October but i have had several occasions where i went for the cheap option, particularly when i have wanted to meet new people. Cairns not bad,... more

We stayed here for a few nights which was fine but the room we had was just big enough for a bed and a door to get in the room. It doesnt have any sockets in the rooms so you have to trust the reception staff to charge your phone for you etc. It is a great location and quite... more

Maze Backpackers was ideal- a very cheap, no frills hostel in the centre of the city. I stayed for 7 nights in a triple room with two friends and considering we were only paying about £8 each a night I think the place was great. I was a bit worried after reading the reviews on here but I can honestly... more

Ok, so the rooms don't come with a jacuzzi or chocolates on your pillow, but for the price I really can't complain. We had 6 of us staying to 2 triple rooms and paid about US$13 each, which is pretty amazing considering the location. None of us saw one cockroach and we were there for 9 days. I think the... more

I had been at Sydney to attend WFUMB 2009 conference in Aug-Sept 2009 and lived in Maze Backpackers, 417, Pitt's Street for 8 nights. This is a very good location near Central Station and virtually everything is on walking distance (upto 15 minutes walk). I recommend this hotel to all those trippers who wish to expend less on accomodation as... more

I stayed at Maze because the rooms were cheap for a double dorm room, and after staying at their sister hostel across the road in Sydney thought it would be fine. The room stunk of damn and when I asked to change rooms the next room was excatly the same, the staff weren't friendly and seemed to not pay much... more

OK, so lets be honest, its got quite alot of cockroaches. and the power points are in the hallway. BIG DEAL!! we're backpacking, thats what its all about! Its 10mins from darling harbour which is beautiful! You can get the train to the harbour wear the opera house and harbour bridge is, but as we were on a backpackers budget,... more

I read so many bad reviews on this hostel that i didnt even want to go but in the end had the best time, the staff are so friendly, i spend quite a few nights chillin with them in reception & they organise things to do pretty much everyday so you get to know everyone quickly, these activities are done... more
