Good location, good hostel

Maze backpackers did exactly what we needed, located in a pretty good spot in the CBD. Sydney is pretty massive, so you need to walk or take taxis to get anywhere fast, but a comfortable walk from the Darling Harbour area with lots of shopping around.

The only room in the entire building that has air conditioning is the reception. Room was stuffy, We had a tiny fan in our room blowing hot air. The bunk beds were not comfy at all. You can feel the springs under the mattress. Bathroom was nice.
