790 on George Backpackers

790 George Hostel is the definition of “it does the job and does not apologize for it”. My room looked like it had seen some things, definitely dated, but it was clean and the AC worked like a champion. That alone puts it above half the hostels on Earth. The staff is the real MVP here. Super friendly, actually helpful, and they kept fixing the eternal problems with washers and dryers like they were running a mini superhero team. Seriously, they smile while doing laundry maintenance. That deserves a medal. Breakfast is complimentary in the most literal sense. Cereal or a sandwich with chocolate spread or jam. Coffee and tea pretending to be enough to wake you up. It will not blow your mind, but it will keep you alive. If you need a bed in the center of Sydney and you are traveling on a budget, this place is perfect. Nothing fancy, nothing fake, just a solid sleep with great people running the show.

Its a really solid hostel. Nothing flash, but very functional and meets your basic needs. Props to the young aussie lady and two dudes with cool hair styles for running a tight ship and been ultra helpful and friendly on the reception desk. Also the other woman with a dope playlist and good fashion sense. And props to the housekeeping team, its a thankless jobs but you guys look like you actually enjoy it and the cleanliness and team camaraderie didn't go amiss. (Sorry don't know names) Shout out to Magna too the in house magician with a paint brush. The place has character and your not served my robots or zombies. Also unlike Azzuro Darling Harbour this place isn't falling apart and with foul smelling drains. Breakfast is cheap and cheerful, bed frames squeaky but beds nice and comfy, ample storage space in locker and decent showers designed in a way that doesn't flood the entire floor after only a few uses, unlike many other hostel I stayed in. Room always felt fresh and air con worked fine. Great central location a minutes walk from Central Station and Chinatown. With World Square Coles and Market City eateries and shops close by. And the light rail line running parallel to hostel. Would definitely recommend for short or medium term stays on a budget. :) Will stay again if I return to Sydney. Keep up the good work!
