Hostels in Sydney are expensive.
Since I started going to the city, I’ve seen hostel prices skyrocket as just the cost of living in Australia has gone up. even when you element in the beneficial exchange rate best now, it’s just expensive to get a bed here, especially at some of the larger, much more upscale hostels.
However, with a little planning, you can make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
The most affordable hostels in Sydney are found in the King’s cross area. An eight-bed dorm starts around 26 AUD, while a four-bed dorm starts around 33 AUD. private rooms range between 80-120 AUD per night, depending on things such as location and whether the restroom is shared or private.
(Pro Tip: avoid the Jolly Swagman! It’s a horrible place to stay.)
I’ve been going to Sydney for a decade and have stayed in dozens upon dozens of places. Ci sono molte cose da considerare quando si seleziona un ostello. The top four when picking the best hostel in Sydney are:
Location – Sydney is huge and it can take some time to get around. Scegli un posto centrale per i siti e la vita notturna che vuoi vedere. Tutti gli ostelli indicati qui sono in luoghi centrali.
Price – In Sydney, you really get what you pay for, so if you choose a really cheap one, you’re probably going to get a hostel that is small, cramped, and doesn’t offer great service.
Amenities – Every hostel in the city provides totally free Wi-Fi, and many have a totally free breakfast, but if you want much more than that, be sure to do your research to find the hostel that best meets your needs!
Staff – All the hostels noted here have remarkable staff! Sono molto amichevoli e ben informati. Anche se non finisci per stare in uno dei luoghi indicati di seguito, assicurati di cercare le recensioni per garantire che ti finisca da qualche parte in cui il personale è disponibile e cordiale! Possono fare o rompere un ostello!

1. Hump Backpackers
I like this hostel because it’s social. The staff hosts plenty of activities (beer pong, BBQs, pancake breakfasts). There’s totally free breakfast, all-day coffee and tea, and different activities every night. The beds are comfy and soft, showers are kept clean, and the room lockers are huge. Hump Backpackers is in the Kings cross area, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and bars so there’s a bunch of things to do in the area.

2. Zen harmony House
The staff at this hostel are the absolute best! They are always the most friendly and helpful I encounter in the city. Zen harmony is close to Kings cross station, and it’s just a 30-minute walk to the Opera house and the Botanic Gardens. safety and security is first-rate, with two locked front doors and safety and security cameras. The dorms are huge (but with only 4 beds for a maximum of 8 people per room), each with its own en-suite bathroom. There are common areas inside and outside for socializing, and they also host daily meditation sessions and vegan nights too!

3. mad Monkey Bayswater
This is another fun hostel, with a very lively social scene! There’s a party every night, a film room, yoga classes, and a rooftop BBQ. Take the spiral staircase to the basement, and you’ll find a fully-equipped chill out zone with pool tables and even a PlayStation gaming area. You get a totally free breakfast at the mad Monkey restaurant (which is delicious) each morning. Honestly, there’s so much to do at this hostel you might find it challenging to leave — but just beyond the front door are some of Sydney’s best bars, clubs, and restaurants. (The hostel itself is on a quiet street, though.) You have to be 18 to 35 to stay here.

4. Sydney Harbor YHA
This is the only hostel in city’s historic harborside area (The Rocks), with unreal rooftop panoramic views over the city and the well-known Opera House. Sydney Harbor Bridge, Sydney Harbor, and Luna Park are also within walking distance. The rooms are extremely spacious, and each bed comes with its own reading light. There’s also a large kitchen, several communal areas (including the outstanding rooftop terrace), and even a grocery store on-site. To me, this is the best hostel in Sydney!

5. big Hostel
A budget, “boutique” spot in Surry Hills, big Hostel is a great centrally located hostel. I love the roofing system terrace with its superb views over the city, as well as the sundeck with a beautiful garden. You can BBQ up there as well. The large kitchen has lots of space for your groceries, and there’s 24/7 totally free coffee and tea. The rooms are huge and the pillows are very comfortable but the metal frames creak a bit. They do have lockers though.

6. mad Monkey Backpackers on Broadway
Soft beds, clean showers with great water pressure, and totally free breakfasts make mad Monkey Backpackers awesome. I also like the yoga classes and access to a local gym that comes included in your stay. The staff organizes activities and nights out (including a conventional Australian BBQ). one of the downsides is that the common areas and kitchen are small. It’s nearly impossible to cook while others are around. but the central location, friendly staff, and awesome amenities make this one of my favorite places to stay. Note: only guests ages 18-35 are allowed.

7. Wake Up! Sydney Central
Svegliati! is in numerous ways a hotel, but for backpackers. With its eight floors, hyper-trendy and clean look, and small common areas, you might think it would be hard to meet people. The large size does make it sort of hard to meet people outside the common areas or your room, but the big bar/nightclub downstairs gives ample opportunity to meet all the people you see coming and going.
I really liked my time here, and I especially delighted in the high water pressure in the showers and un-creaky beds. The hostel is located just next to the central station so it’s easy to get to and from the airport. book directly to save some money as they often have deals.

8. Wake Up! Bondi Beach
If you love the beach, you can’t beat this place — it is just seconds from the sand! There’s an awesome rooftop space overlooking Bondi Beach, and the hostel provides totally free surfboards. There are also totally free yoga classes, walking tours, and other fitness activities. They also host BBQ parties and pizza nights! The rooms are comfy and the showers just fine.

9. 790 on George
790 on George, is (unsurprisingly) located best on George Street, Sydney’s main thoroughfare. The hostel is just steps away from the central train station as well as Chinatown (perfect for those late night, tasty cheap eats). There’s also a tram stop best out front for traveling around the city.
IlL’ostello stesso ha tutto il necessario, da una cucina completamente fornita e una colazione totalmente gratuita, a due sale comuni (una sala giochi e una sala TV) ed eventi sociali. Un altro buon vantaggio è che il checkout non è fino alle 11, quindi puoi dormire un po ‘anche l’ultima mattina qui.

10. Summer House Backpackers Kings Cross
Summer House Backpackers fa parte di un gruppo di ostelli australiano che fornisce alloggi in tutto il paese. La loro sede di Sydney è un ostello rilassato situato vicino al bellissimo Hyde Park della città. L’ostello ha un’enorme cucina comune, una colazione totalmente gratuita ogni giorno e la domenica, una colazione di pancake totalmente gratuita.
Summer House semplifica anche incontrare altri viaggiatori, con tonnellate di eventi sociali come serate di sangria totalmente gratuite, barbecue del venerdì totalmente gratuite e serate cinematografiche (con popcorn totalmente gratuiti). C’è una comoda area comune indoor e un cortile esterno che è anche parzialmente coperto in modo da poter uscire fuori anche quando piove!
