As many of reviews said, the building is old and the floor is squeaky, but they are upgrading by painting walls and providing in-room shelves, desk and individual lockers. The hospitality of the staff, especially Ashley working at reception, was super! She was so friendly and attentive to make our stay happy in many ways. I would definitely return to Home Backpackers!! ##### Kei Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ping Wah 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Near the central station, easy to go many landmarks on foot. ##### Ping Wah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very run down accomodation. Every door and floor is squeaking. Had a room next to entrance door and couldn’t sleep because of the noise from door every time someone entered the building. Also rooms were very run down. Very very basic. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### 笛太鼓ピーピー, 奈良 19 Jul 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities セントラル駅からもスーパーからも近い、街の中心まで歩いて行ける。そんな立地の良さで、この値段なのだから、文句は言えません。 　夫婦で個室に結局12泊しましたが、次第に、シャワーなどの温度調節など使い方にも慣れてきました。 　カンボジアやラオスの安宿に比べると、十分ですが、日本と比べると、え・・・と思われるかもしれません。 　台所が電熱のレンジなので、調理に時間がかかるので、ほかの住人とうまく時間をずらし、パスタやビーフンなどすぐにできる料理のほうが良いです。 ##### 笛太鼓ピーピー Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 12 Jul 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sydney Auberge située à 5 minutes de marche de la station de trains Central et du terminus de greyhound. Les toilettes sont situées au premier étage, si vous avez une chambre au deuxième étage alors il faut vous déplacer au premier. Planchers en bois recouvert de tapis qui font du bruit quand vous marchez. Gros avantage vous avez un restaurant Little Ceasar à la sortie de l'auberge. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 位置及廚房太棒了 但隔音及地板聲響有待改善 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 12 May 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities I suppose it is all one can expect for 80 bucks so close to the CBD ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yan, Hong Kong 31 Mar 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Location is good.

Great hostel, were in a super quiet room, spotlessly clean, bathroom was practically to ourselves which was next door to the room, beds and sheets were so clean and comfy - air freshener in room was a lovely touch! Being like a 1 minute walk from Central was ideal, will definitely stay again and strongly recommend! Lots of free stuff to do everyday eg. Pizzas, nights out, pancakes on the weekend etc. Sadly I was only there for 1 night and had breakfast arrangements so cannot comment on the pancakes - but I bet they were awesome! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katrin 11 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### OK for a night It was OK for one night, building quite old.
