I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. Because of its small size and friendly staff it really felt like everyone was involved. There was an organised event every night of the week, including Branco's homemade vodka! The rooms themselves aren't brilliant (10 bed dorms have a single fan on a stand and limited plugs sockets) but the lounge area has... More

I got in the hostel and all the people were so friendly, I felt home straight away. The location is amazing because its near kings cross and alive 24/7 but far away enough you get a good night sleep. Another good thing is how clean everything is, a lot better than the other hostels I stayed in in Sydney. The... More

Most amazing staff ever, made my time in Sydney awesome! The hostel has a cool set up making it easy to meet other people. Everyone is mostly traveling solo and the hostel organizes nightly events for everyone to head out together. I'm a bit of a clean freak and this was one of the cleanest and tidiest hostels I've stayed... More

It's a friendly personable hostel with awesome staff who go out of their way to welcome you.. As a solo traveller i found it easy to meet other travellers since... More

I was deciding between this one and Base and ended up picking this one b/c of the free wifi. Should have stayed at Base b/c I ended up paying more in daily train tickets than I would have for wifi b/c this place is not nearly as central as Base. PS the free wifi is only available in the common... More

Had a fantastic 3 nights at Blue Parrot, wish I had spent my full stay in Sydney here. Will definitely be booking if I return to Sydney later in my trip. Friendly greeting upon arrival, staff were expecting me and greeted me by name which is a real comforting touch. The most homely hostel I have stayed in in Australia... More

This was my favorite hostel in Australia and I really enjoyed this place. I absolutely adore the staff and the rooms were nice and comfortable, better than most hostels in the world. The hostel is cleaned everyday and is being kept clean all day and all night. The location is a big plus as it's close to a supermarket and... More

Positives of Blue Parrot: + Atmosphere. Friendly staff and good implementation of rules re: drinking in-house etc. means everyone is happy. + Free wifi and computer access. + Location. 100m from a supermarket, laundrette, Post Office and cafes. + Communal areas. Comfy sofas, huge TV and loads of films in the lounge and an unusual-for-central-Sydney outdoor courtyard. Negatives of Blue... More

This hostel was the first one that i stayed at during my visit to australis and by far was my favourite one. The rooms are really nice and so are the bathrooms. The hostel has really friendly and helpful staff and even though the rooms are a bit expensive it's worth because you can meet really nice and friendly people... More
