Staff were friendly but shower was slimy and disgusting, the insect nets on the windows were caked in dust (not great if you're asthmatic), and the stairwell smelt like pee. The room itself was bearable - the only thing stopping us from finding new accommodation.
They also emailed us AND asked when we checked in for payment (which we had already done via Expedia), and their sign outside says Red Star Backpackers, not Syndey Star.
