We were meant to stay at Boomerang for 2 nights, however, the hostel was disgusting!!! The messiest hostel i have been to yet. There was god knows what smeared up the walls, and the brown mattresses left a lot to be desired. Reception closes between 12pm - 4pm which is really unhelpful. The number on the door said ring in...

My time here was simply amazing! the atmosphere is the best, people looking out for each other, cooking for each other, getting hammered together and partying across Sydney!

I stayed at Boomerang Backpackers for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Years and I had an amazing time! The hostel is well-maintained, and rooms are fairly big and nice and clean. Really good social areas with communal kitchen, TV room and rooftop with fantastic views of the city! Really good location as well, close to the city... More

if you travel on a tight budget it is a ok place to stay. The rooms are cleaned by other backpackers (so they dont have to pay for accommodation) so dont expect too much. They hoover the main area of the room and thats it! Dont look in the corners. TV room was smelly but kitchen clean.

We booked a double room with ensuite as we saw the flyers in Brisbane. The flyer stated that the double rooms are short walk away and that everything is new. We walked to the hostel in scorching heat only to find out that the double rooms were back at the train station 15min walk- where we started! so we walked... More

I stayed here for seven nights over the New year period. Rooms were not cleaned once, toilets and showers were very dirty. Eight people were staying in my room, which should only have held four max...there was no place to put clothes or rucksacks, therefore the floor of the room was covered in clothes and other items. Literally everyone in... More
