Sydney Hotel Guide - 1 star Hotels in Sydney, Australia

The train station was less than a block away on the same street. We had to leave to the airport early the next morning, that is before the office opened and had given a cash deposit which was returned without question when we informed them of the situation. Would stay again!

Rooms are not so comfortable, good for short budget stay in the center of the city. Kitchen well equped

X Base has the formula for the F.I.T. / backpacker / hostel experience well in hand. X Base is the 'McDonald's' of back packer experiences - you know what you're going to get. There's nothing wrong with this per se, it does the job of providing affordable accommodation, well organised, clean and safe. It is functional but ultimately, forgettable. This particular X Base has rooms spread across several adjacent buildings. To find your room, directions are well signposted, but it's a bit of a maze. Air plugs were provided as the street noise is pretty heavy. The single elevator was old and slow - of which this was noted with a sign. The kitchen was very large with no lack of equipment.

My booking didn't seem to be in the system, and so I was messed around swapping rooms. Breakfast was at 7.30 am, and no exceptions when I wanted it at 7.00 am. Difficult to find the on-site parking, and needed to pay for parking while I was trying to get into the building. But, overall, good clean and quiet room.

A great short stay accommodation place. Friendly people and not too rowdy.
