I stayed here in November/December 2011. The hostel is very well located in the heart of the city within easy walking distance to King Street Wharf attractions and local shopping facalities. I would say the location is the best selling point to this hostel. The rooms aren't exactly spacious or clean for that matter and some of are in need... More

People can be so dam fussy and picky. I stayed here from 19-22 April 2012 with 7 of my mates (20 and 21 year olds, guys and girls). We emailed X Base before we booked our accommodation to ask if we would be able to all be put in the same room and they were more than happy to do... More

I had a double ensuite room for one night. Room was tidy apart from weird stains on duvet cover. Bathroom reasonably clean. My room faced the street so until 3am I had the floor of my room rocking from the bass in the pub downstairs. I am a heavy sleeper but found it hard to drift off. Staff were ok... More

Upon arrival, the staff tried to make me pay 25% more than the price of my reservation. It took quite some putting my foot down to get this corrected, as they just kept stating that the price for my room was in fact the higher one, no matter what my reservation said. Not exactly what you look forward to after... More

I stayed for three nights in the 'Sanctuary' girls only dorm in February. Whilst the bed itself was clean, and the lockable space under was great, the carpets and shower receptacles were feral. I was pretty close to buying some bleach to remove the mould build up and had to angle to remove the hair that didn't seem to be... More

Price was not too bad for a twin room with ensuite. The room was clean with fresh towels and nice sheets. We were surprised to find complimentary earplugs as well - and later found out this is because there is a club sharing a main wall with the backpackers, so you will have bass pumping through your room until around...

This was our second stay at Base. We stayed 4 nights. We stay here when we go to Sydney because the location is fantastic and we save a few dollars by staying at a backpackers as opposed to $400+ a night in a hotel in the same location. We stay in the double room with an en suite. The room... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in November... it's the first hostel I have ever stayed in so at first I didn't think it was too bad. The room was clean and basic. The bathrooms were clean and basic. The bar on the ground floor was SO loud you could hear the thumping until the early hours, which was really... More

Base Sydney is good if you are new to Australia there are alot of rooms full of backpackers so it is good to meet new people, it is very loud at night of the 1st floor because of the scary canary next door, i stayed on both the 1st and the 4th and the 4th was much preferred, the toilets... More
