Paul
we had a great experience at Elephant Backpacker. The location was amazing, and the old building had a lovely charm to it. The best part was how quiet it was, which made for a peaceful stay. The free breakfast was a nice touch, and overall, it was one of our favorite hostels so far. We got exactly what we paid for, and the basic amenities suited our needs perfectly.
Nothing negative to say. 😊

For the price we paid, we definitely got great value at the hostel. The room was clean and the lockable lockers gave us peace of mind. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. The location was convenient too, with easy access to everything we needed.
The hotel breakfast menu could have been improved with a better selection of utensils and plates.

The location of the hostel is great, with easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. The staff are friendly and accommodating, providing a pleasant atmosphere for guests. the free breakfast in the morning is a nice perk, allowing visitors to start their day off on a good note.
Some aspects of the hostel could use improvement, such as the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the outdated facilities.

Great location near popular attractions and within walking distance of major sights. Clean and fresh bed sheets provided.- Free towels available for use.
Dirty and unkempt rooms, with unpleasant odors and lack of cleanliness. Inadequate security measures, with broken locks on doors and open entrance.

The location of the hotel is convenient as it is situated in a vibrant area with plenty of eating and drinking options nearby. The rooms are clean and well-lit, allowing for a comfortable stay. Guests also appreciate the helpfulness of the staff, as they offer valuable advice on local attractions and places to visit.
Some facilities such as the bathrooms and toilets are not maintained well, leading to cleanliness issues.

had a great stay at a cozy hostel near Hyde Park. Friendly staff, comfy beds, and a delicious breakfast made it even better than my last trip to sydney.
Wifi signal was weak.

The value for money at this hotel was excellent - comfortable bunks, adequate laundry facilities, and a TV room with both Foxtel and free-to-air channels. The location was perfect, right near major attractions and public transport, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Food for breakfast could be improved with more variety and options.

As an older traveler, I recently experienced a stay at a budget accommodation in a vibrant city. The location of the hostel was commendable, being close to attractions such as botanical gardens, making it convenient to explore the city. The staff members were friendly and welcoming, offering assistance whenever needed. the hostel provided a decent breakfast selection, including toast with spreads and cereals, allowing for a good start to the day. However, it is unfortunate that the cleanliness standards of the rooms and bathrooms were lacking, which decreased the overall comfort of the stay.

The price of the hostel was affordable and fit well within my budget. The location was great, with easy access to everything I wanted to see and do in the city.- The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, providing valuable information about the area.
The bathrooms and showers were not well-maintained and often dirty. The bed I had was uncomfortable, with springs poking through and making it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

The location of this hostel is perfect, within walking distance of attractions, ferries, and trains. The beds are quite comfy, providing a good night's sleep. The hostel also has cleaners who hoover and wipe around everyday, ensuring a decent level of cleanliness.
The hostel lacks proper deep cleaning, with cleaners only doing general cleaning.

I recently stayed at Elephant Backpacker for two weeks and had a wonderful experience. As a solo traveler from England, I felt welcomed by the friendly and approachable staff and the warm social atmosphere of the guests from around the world. The breakfast was well-organized and always opened on time, providing a nice start to my day. The overall inviting atmosphere made me feel like part of a happy family, and I've even booked another two weeks in the same room. Truly a privilege to treasure, I give my overall experience a 10 out of 10.
Do recommend this hotel.

Mind-blowing location near train station for easy airport access and only a 20-minute walk to the iconic Opera House. Super friendly staff who remembered my coffee order and gave GREAT local suggestions. Jaw-dropping free Wi-Fi, cozy bar/lounge, and a delicious breakfast. Convenient lift and charming restaurant.

Bill
The convenient location of the hotel was a major plus, with plenty of attractions and amenities within walking distance. Additionally, the vibrant neighborhood added to the overall appeal of the area. Moreover, the view of the city from the hotel was breathtaking and provided a unique perspective of the surroundings.
The cleanliness of the hotel left much to be desired. Both the rooms and the common areas were not properly maintained and could have been cleaner.

I gotta say, I got amazing value for my money at this cozy little hotel. The room was clean and comfy, and the location was perfect, just a short walk away from the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Plus, the staff were so kind and welcoming, it really made my stay enjoyable.
Breakfast delights, it would have been even better if there was a wider variety of options to choose from in the morning.
Tourists from New Zealand often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
