We stayed at base on our first few nights in australia. It was a great mix of quiet, for our first jetlagged night, and party for all the subsequent nights.

The rooms where a very good size , cleaned daily (altho the cleaners where always in at the crack of dawn) Nice bathrooms and cleaned daily! Everything about my stay was enjoyable. I felt safe and my things were safe in the rooms too! They had loads of events every night! good fun!
There was only downside was the kitchen wasnt great, one of the toasters didnt work and it only had a small number of rings to cook on! other than that i reali enjoyed my stay in Sidney!

Staff were excellent, and I got to meet some great people in my dorm. Best of all we managed to get a free bottle of bubbly on the first night...always good :o)

This was a great hostel tp stay at top meet people. Up until being shown complete contempt by the night manager who held my passport to rnasom on the final night I had really enjoyed Base. I have subsequently submitted a complaint to Base and am interested to see their response.

The canary bar attached is gr8 value for money and has some good theme nights etc.!!
The communal areas are really nice to chill out in, watch tv, internet access etc.
Rooms are quite shoebox like and basic but ok just to sleep in!!

The hostel was in the Heart of Sydney, with walking distance to the shops, Darling Harbour and the main train station. The staff were great, and it was excellent value for money. I stayed in the Sanctuary which is for girls only. I would recommend this for single girl travellers. There was a great lively bar which had very cheap meals and drink offers. There was an internet room and film room if you just wanted to chillax. The best thing about it were the other travellers, they were so friendly and talked to you at any possible chance even in the lift.

The location of Base is great so easy to get to the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Good crowd which caters for those who want to work and/or party...
