It was very good time at the hostel! It was clean all the time and the staff was great and helpful, the location is very good and close to the train station. All the other guests were very friendly and nice

Zing backpackers is great

Being 20 years old and travelling alone it can be very nerve racking entering a new hostel, from the second i arrived at zing i was made to feel sooo welcome and fitted right in. If you want clean rooms, great facilities and the buzz of kings cross zing is for you.

The worry of travelling alone

Brian and Mark made my stay here very welcoming and I could watch Netflix ALL night without hassle or interruption from anybody in one of the smaller rooms, outside, in the back of Zing! They made it very easy to be myself. Thanks Mark and Brian!

A Night With Netflix

 Backpack was clean with a great location ! (Nears shop and the beautiful botanic garden)  Host are nice and friendly. Everything is good and looks like to website pictures. I booked a room with 2 beds and small kitchen 👍

Very good

A friend and me stayed for three days in a 2 bed room we didn't know what to expect as it was very cheap, we were very shocked when we saw how nice the room was and even had a TV. Great kitchen and cool people of all nationalitys. Thanks Zing

Super relaxing

Some years ago I had the best time in life there, so I wanted to remember. The Hostel is much more improved and more comfy now. I loved to stay in the courtyard, with it's palms and colorful walls. Unfortunately the kitchen is always overfloating and the facilitys are very poor, there is no can opener, even not in the Originals Hostel close-by. The cleanliness is good, but less hygienic in the kitchen. The stuff at the reception is without exception friendly but not very helpful. They mostly couldn't help me with any case. I felt that the manager is not very caring and not interested in the Hostel. The Computers in Zing are not working, the wifi is slow and not possible to use on Microsoft phones. The female dorm I stayed in was nice, I had roommates which were respectful and considerate, so I could sleep well by night. The location is good, it's a 15 minute walk into the city centre. They have laundry facilities, but just cold wash, 
My Tip: If you want to wash warm, you can walk 1 minute down the street, where there is the potts point laundry, warm wash is 4 $, but the woman who work there is very rude, so never mind.

Mixed

My room was nice, and everything in it worked. But the bathrooms were disgusting and so was the kitchen. I often had to clean the toilet before I could use it. And the long term residents didn’t seem to have much respect for the hostel or others staying in it: they were continuously loud.

Miss Bella

The first room was a disaster and I could barely walk in. I couldn’t tell which bed was supposed to be mine since it was so messy. They put me in a new 6 person room with 2 people. It absolutely reeked. There was graffiti everywhere and blood and puke stains on some beds.

Nothing like pictures

This hostel was the dirtiest, smelliest, grimmest place we’ve ever stayed at (baring in mind we’ve been travelling for the past 6 months - third world countries have cleaner rooms than this!) 
I don’t know where to start..
Upon arrival a guy was speaking so rudely to other workers finally got into room and the bed was broken and stunk. There was thick dirt/dust everywhere! Dead cockroaches around the place. There’s actually no reception or hosts within Zing they’re all in another building (original backpackers) and they was least helpful I went and asked for an iron - ‘oh it’s missing do you really need it maybe come back and look for it in a few days’.
The other travellers are smoking all hours of the day we’ve left and all our luggage now needs cleaning as the smoke engulfs the place. The toilet and shower are inside a small cupboard. The floors have clearly never been mopped the entire place needs a clean! The kitchen is filthy there’s no basic hygiene!!
You wipe your feet on the way out!
