BUG Review
Chili Blue is a small hostel with tiny, messy rooms and old beds. The courtyard with BBQ and cosy TV lounge can be good places to mingle and the kitchen is brand new. But bathrooms need serious work and some of the dorms are dark and unventilated. Reception can be a bit cold. Free internet and free brekfast are perks. Security could be improved as well, as the reception area opens widely onto the walkway and anyone can walk in.

Excellent for the money, close to clubs, pubs, shops, and literally about 30 secs from train station taking you to city centre! Great courtyard for socialising and making new friends.

I stayed at V backpackers for a couple of months at the end of my travels, and I can easily say it was my favourite hostel, competitively priced and clean, great facilities, free BBQ twice weekly, friendly staff that go out of their way to help find you work, and overall a friendly, fun atmosphere.

Not much so "Funky" about this place , stayed here during Christmas last year and was crowded and not clean. Not somewhere good or cheap , try the others on Victoria Street (Except Potts Point House its worse !)

Ejnjoy your trips to ozzie land !!!!!

The staff were friendly but the hostel could have been cleaner. The room we had was stuffy and the bed clothes had stains on which is never a good thing.
