Reviews of The Palms Backpackers

23 November 2011

Liked: Not far away from Kings Cross.

Disliked: Condition of the hostel and its facilities. Dorm was crap; bed broken and the window next to my bed was also broken so wind blew to my face all night long (and Sydney can be really cold in night time). I know it's 'just' hostel but it wouldn't cost too much to put even some tape to window if you don't bother to fix it otherwise. Toilets were inside of dorm so you can enjoy the sounds and smell everytime somebody visits the toilet. Not enough room for luggages as all the space in dorm occupied by long term stayers.

Disliked: Dirty. I am not a clean freak and cleanliness normally doesnt matter but this was pretty bad. The shared toilet was awful and the 'clean' linen was...well...not clean! Many stains and smelt. Also - no space to put your bags in the dorm room as everyones stuff is everywhere. The dorm beds shake like crazy so hard to sleep. But I guess it was cheap....

Liked: very cheap place, good to meet people, as it is so small and familiar, like the atmosphere there, beds are very cosy

Disliked: beds squeak and the bathroom in the 10bed drom was kind of old and a bit dirty, but this could also be due to its user... breakfast until 10 but from 9:30 usually no more bread available...so be in time!

09 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was a friendly, small hostel. We ended up spending our last night drinking and playing monopoly with other backpackers. After three days we knew most people by sight and most of the staff were also staying at the hostel, so there was always someone around to ask for advice even if the desk was closed.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
