Balmain Backpackers in Sydney, Australia

Very dirty, no security in rooms, fun people but if you need a place to sleep its very noisy all night - if u wanna party its good

Hey Suzie, Thanks for the feedback mate. i know, it annoys me too that people don't lock their bedroom doors. Nothing seems to go missing here when it does though I'm sure they'll start! Staff though?.... c'mon! 3! :) I'll give you a bottom bunk next time. I'll even move someone for you.... that must make me at least a 5 ;) see you next time, Kristy

This is more of a shared home than hostel. People stay for a long time and so there is no backpacker feel to it. It therefore has the messiness and feel of a hungover student house out of the city. I would not stay here if you want to see Sydney for a few days but if you want to work and have the cheapest (although noisy) accomodation around away from the city then go.

Hello Aaron, Thanks for your comments. We do endevour to provide for long-term backpacker stay and I imagine you wouldn't have found the same "vibe" you would if you stayed in a YHA or "by the night" hostel. We provide quality long term accommodation and for those who are looking for somewhere cheap, cheerful and fun to stay short term. There are plentiful activities and opportunities to meet and chat (and party!) with other backpackers and the Balmain/Rozelle area is just beautiful to live and work in. We are sorry we couldn't meet your needs at this time - perhaps in the future we can work on this and introduce a suggestions box for organised activities. Thanks, BBs Management
