I stayed with my girlfriend for 3 nights in a Double Room. After some bad experiences with hostels in major Australian Cities, the Big Hostel is a positive exception. We paid 96$ per night, which includes a free breakfast. This review reflects only my personal opinion. Location: Top, 3 minutes walk from central station. The ensuite double room was clean... more

*Note: Big Hostel is the same place as Big on Elizabeth which is listed separately on TripAdvisor. STAFF: I didn't have much to do with them but they were very friendly. Someone is at reception 24hours which is comforting. LOCATION: About 5 minutes walk from Central Station. Close by bus-stops but there's not a whole lot in the immediate surroundings.... more

I know that Big is a backpacker's hostel. However, as I have stayed in a few of them before, this came as a somewhat negative surprise. First of all, the room was very cold, even after complaining (and apparently they turned up the thermostat) I couldn't sleep through the night without all the blankets I could find. Secondly, the walls... more

We stayed for 4 nights at Big Hostel in a double room (no ensuite) and found it to be well located and quiet. We liked the free breakfast (toast & cereal, whole milk), and the free internet, and the staff were helpful. However, while our sheets & towels were clean, the coverlett was FULL of hairs. So many that they... more

I stayed for two weeks in this hostel and had a great time! The hostel is clean, the staff is friendly and relaxed and the facilities are very good (free breakfast, free internet, discount on the internet café next door, pizza's). I particularly liked the mixed crowd (backpackers, working people, young, old, families) which makes that it doesn't feel like... more

We stayed 9 nights in Big Hostel and found that it was a very good base from which to explore Sydney. A free bus continually loops around the CBD and with a bus stop close to the hostel transport was never an issue. The hostel is also five minutes walk from the railway staion meaning longer journeys are also catered... more

A friend and I stayed in a private room with ensuite. It was my first time at a backpackers and i wanted to ease into it. It was a great experience. The location is great as it's right in the centre of the city and a short walk from central station. You can easily walk around the city from the... more

I found this hostel at TripAdvisor and decided to stay there after reading the good review and ranking. We (family of 4 with 1 teenager) stayed there for 2 nights and had enjoyed our stay. Good location, friendly & helpful staff, clean kitchen area and clean & cosy room make it a pleasant place to stay. They do provide continental... more

I booked this hostel after reading the good reviews and I am glad I did. Initially did not know what to expect as it's a backpackers. I had a private double room with bath ensuite. Room comes with tv (with good selection of channels) and also a vcr and vcd/dvd player if you want to watch your own shows. Reception... more
