If you’re headed to Sydney on a budget, but also looking for a fun place to stay, Maze Backpackers is the place to be! With entertainment daily, from group outings to a pancake breakfast, there’s always something to do at this popular backpacker hostel. Situated close to Central Station you’re in the heart of everything and walking distance to it all.

Rooms to fit everyone’s budget

Maze Backpackers - Sydney, Australia

The super-sized building accommodates over 200 guests. Maze Backpackers offer private rooms with single, double and triple beds. You can choose to stay in a mixed dorm room with 4, 6, or 8 beds, or you can stay in a small 4-bed female or male only dorm. Each room comes with a couple of fans, a window with either a street view or alley view, and your own keyless entry card. Lockers are located on the 2nd floor and can be rented for 10.00 AUD (7.44 USD) a week. The price for the rooms ranges from 28.00 AUD (20.83 USD) for a mixed 8-share dorm to 111.00 AUD (82.57 USD) for a private room with three beds. To get here you can book a shuttle from the airport directly to the hostel through Maze Backpackers; at 12.00 AUD (8.93 USD) each way, it’s cheaper and faster than taking the train.

The kitchen is definitely the main attraction, with eight burners, two large deli cases, and plenty of pantry space to store your food. You can cook an excellent meal and save some money if you want a break from eating out. There are many pots, pans, and utensils to use. Eat your lunch or dinner at one of the eight picnic-style tables right outside the kitchen, or eat in the open-air room where there’s lots of natural light.
