You reach Maze Backpackers down a Sydney street like any other, through a door that opens onto reception, key cards and a corridor of shared and private rooms. Inside, eight private rooms sit alongside dorms — one female-only — plus a kitchen, TV room and games room that everyone ends up using at the same time. It takes no guests under eighteen. For travellers who want the noise of other people's stories more than a quiet room to themselves.
The rooms are plain: a bed made up with linen, a pillow and a duvet, whether you're in a private double or one of the dorms, including a female-only option. Bathrooms, kitchen and lounge are shared, which is the point here as much as the beds — the spacious kitchen is where you end up cooking beside people from four other countries, and the TV room and games room fill up once the sun goes down. Eight private rooms keep the quieter end of the building small, so most nights the noise, and the company, is out in the shared spaces instead.
Maze Backpackers - Sydney sets a minimum age of 18 in its own house rules, read on 24 August 2026. A house whose rule drops below eighteen, or stops naming an age, is taken off HUSH — how every house is checked.
