yeah sure the place is pretty run down, but its a backpackers that has been there since the early 1900's what do u expect? given it is very basic accommodation, but its like 2 star what do people expect? it was a cheap and convinient place for a friend and myself to stay for a night when going out in... more

Before I went to Sydney a friend of mine told me to stay anywhere but at this hostel. But by chance I ended up staying one night in this hostel anyway. I'm very happy that I knew this was a bad place before I got there, else I would have been shocked. The first thing that hit me was the... more

this place is so dirty and staff are so unfirendly, there was a big group of us having a reunion (9 people) and they messed up our booking, we had wanted just 2 rooms. the actual hostel is so old and delipadated, half the doors took a shoulder to open! i would not recommend it! more

This is THE WORST experience I have ever had in a hostel/backpackers/budget-style accommodation!!!!! This place is terribly managed and SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! My room was the size of a shoe box, the lock didn't work, so of course I felt completely unsafe here! Yeah they make it look like "fun" but if you like sleeping with cockroaches and filth... more

The Maze is well located, cheap and cheerful. The rooms aren't amazing but for the price you pay (which is really good for sydney)it is fair accommodation. The place was old and batty but clean and the people it attracts tend to have the true backpacker spirit. I stayed at the Maze for 5 days and would stay again because... more

This place is fantastic, don't believe a lot of the bad reviews on here. Ok, maybe its not 5 or 4 star accommodation but for the price you pay what more do people expect. My friend and I were only there for 3 nights and paid AUD$60/night ($30 each) and for the location of the place I found this a... more

Absolutely disgusting hostel. Bed bugs evident. Many rooms closed down for massive clean out....wonder why??? Noise echoes from alley way up to rooms. Many rooms look into other rooms. Door did not lock properly so be careful with belongings. Carpets look as if they are hundred years old, need to be replaced, or minimum steam cleaned. One of the worst... more

Myself and 3 friends stayed at the Maze for 4 nights in February. We were really only at the hostel to sleep. The one good thing about the hostel is the location. There did apear to be alot of activities on offer and people seemed to be having fun. As did we but not whilst at the Maze. Im writing... more
