Hostel for working holiday.”
This hostel is for working holiday not back packers. Most people were worhollers in this hostel. So the name of the hostel should be Hump working holiday not Hump backpackers. But the staffs were so nice and helpful and breakfast was really good!!

Great location, not for everyone ”
So close to the train station and great location. Neighborhood gets a little noisy on the weekends, and there are strip clubs across the street. I did not mind this at all, but I know some people would. I stayed in the summer and there was no a/c but there was a really good fan. I had a great time there and felt very safe!

This is a red light district”
It locates within 3 mins of walking distance from train station, and located exactly in the red light district. Feel annoying when we walked back to hostel during night time, as those security guards from pubs trying to pull you into pubs although we said no. Strongly not recommended for female traveller, if you are not into night life. Would suggest backpackers near to central or town hall train station where you will feel much safer.

Could have been worse”
Nice friendly staff, lent me a converter for free. But the room quality was extremely poor, and the cleanliness left quite a bit to be desired (And this comes from someone who has stayed in hostels throughout Asia and Europe). While the hotel isn't to blame for guests having in my dorm room while I was trying to pack, it does make one wonder where their name came from.

Good backpackers hostel ”
Hostel was decent in good location and tv room was good. Kitchen is slightly annoying as if you leave for work early morning you can’t have breakfast or get your lunch from the fridge before you leave as the kitchen is locked with all the food inside. Bathrooms also flood but my only two downsides. Good friendly staff with good sized kitchen and good activities too.

Acceptable”
Dirty, no ventilation, the phone number went straight through to message bank. The facilities were very run down

Above average”
I wouldn't stay here for more than one night. The place is falling apart and there's constant sewage smell. Very few toilets and showers. Didn't get my deposit back because no one was in reception even though it was reception hours.

Great time there!”
The staff was so kind and helpful I stayed there for a month and had a great time there especially at nights in the events where all the people gathered and have a fun time together!

Clean, super friendly, great location ”
The female's dorms on the fourth floor were very comfortable. It was bright with large windows and fresh air all the time. There is also a big bathroom (with a window!) inside, which is easy because you don't have to carry room key to go to the toilet each time. Despite being a large hostel, all the communal bathrooms and kitchen were also kept clean, having been cleaned several times a day. I also had the opportunity to volunteer as a cleaner(for free stay) and it was very well organised. Thanks to the friendly crew. Would definitely use them again.;)

Excellent”
It was a bit loud, but that's to be expected in places like this. The man at the counter was extra friendly giving me a small tour to make sure I knew where everything was rather than just giving verbal directions.

Cheap but by no means great”
Hump backpackers is 2 train stops till you are right in the heart of the CBD but that's the end of the reasons to stay there. Rooms aren't similar to photos displayed, felt more like shoving 4 beds into a single bedroom than the spread out room photos shown. Bathrooms are dingy, unkempt, there are electrical faults that instead of actually dealing with them they just ducttape and clingwrap over them despite me telling them I had been shocked touching light switches. Walls are falling apart, when ever someone above me moved around pieces of paint would fall onto my bed which really wasn't nice to come back to every day. Beds were clearly thrashed about and incredibly rickety, any slight movement would wake the entire room up. All in all, I stayed there, I wouldn't again, there are much better maintained hostels around Sydney for similar money.
