Maze Backpackers met my needs for a short solo trip. The Best part is their location. 8 minute walk to central station, 5 minute walk to light rail. On Pitt Street in "Thai" town. Next to China town. It worked great for me.

The only room in the entire building that has air conditioning is the reception. Room was stuffy, We had a tiny fan in our room blowing hot air. The bunk beds were not comfy at all. You can feel the springs under the mattress. Bathroom was nice.
