790 on George / About Us

Welcome to the Family at 790 on George

Your Ultimate Sydney Basecamp Since 2007.

Located at 790 George Street, we offer premium location vibes at backpacker-friendly prices. Whether you’re looking to stretch your travel funds or just find a friendly face in the city, our crew is here to welcome you home.

Why Stay With Us?

  • The Best Spot in Town: We are directly on George Street, just a 3-minute walk from Central Station. With the new Light Rail right at our doorstep, navigating Sydney’s major hubs is a breeze.

  • Heart of the Action: A stone’s throw from the vibrant energy of Chinatown—home to the best food, retail therapy, bars, and nightclubs in the city.

  • 24/7 Support: Sydney is big, but we make it small. Our reception is staffed 24/7. Need directions? A local tip? Or just a friendly chat? We’ve got you covered.

  • Clean & Secure: We take cleaning seriously with strict daily schedules. Plus, with key-card access and 24/7 CCTV, you can rest easy knowing you’re safe.


The Perks

We’ve been in the game since 2007, so we know what backpackers actually need:

  • Sleep In: Our 11:00 AM checkout gives you that extra hour to recover from a night of “classy goon.”

  • Early Arrival? While check-in is from 2:00 PM, we’ll always try to get you into your room as soon as you land.

  • Secure Storage: Every dorm features private lockers big enough for your whole backpack, complete with universal power plugs inside (save your money—don’t buy those overpriced adapters!).

  • Social Spaces:

    • Level 2: Our chill-out TV room for movie nights.

    • Level 7: Our brand-new Games Room featuring pool, checkers, and board games. (Opening Soon!)

    • The Basement: A fully equipped kitchen to inspire your inner chef, plus another TV so you’re never bored while the pasta boils.


The “Boring” (But Important) Stuff

We want everyone to have the best time possible, so here are a few house rules:

  • Age Policy: Our dorms are designed for the social 18–35 international backpacker crowd. If you fall outside this range, please book a private room. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian(We will ask for Proof!).

  • Group Bookings: Traveling with the #squad? We always try to keep you together, but it depends on availability (and the occasional random drop bear attack).

  • Stay Connected: High-speed FREE WIFI throughout the building.

  • Check-In Essentials: You MUST have a valid Photo ID (Passport or Driver’s License). We cannot accept expired IDs or Proof of Age cards.

  • Key Deposit: There is a $10 cash deposit for your key, fully refunded when you return it and check out on time.
