Sydney

Sydney is not Australia’s capital city, but you would never know that. The city is cosmopolitan, vibrant and exciting and was recently voted one of the most popular cities to visit by the readers of a popular travel magazine. On top of that, Australians are notoriously easy-going and social, making Sydney a pleasure to visit. Unfortunately, all that positive attention has also meant that trips to Sydney continue to cost more and more. So how can you travel to Sydney without breaking the bank? One great way to save money is to stay in a Sydney hostel while you are there. But which one? The choices might seem overwhelming, but with our list of the best hostels in Sydney you should have no trouble finding the right hostel for you.

We know your time is valuable, so rather than asking you to read the descriptions of every hostel in Sydney - clicking your way through search engines or paging through countless guidebooks - we have done the hard work for you. We have read reviews written by some of the travel industry’s top sources as well as those written by real travelers just like you to compile this list of the best hostels in Sydney. With this list you just need to read through a few hostel descriptions to find the one that sounds best to you. Then you can make your decision quickly and get back to the rest of your life.

Here is our list of Sydney’s best hostels - by clicking on each name you will find a few notes about each hostel to help you make your decision, including the hostel’s location in the city and what amenities each property lists.

The thing to remember when reading about these hostels is that the things that qualify them for this list of Sydney’s best hostels are going to be different for each property. While one might pride itself on offering a peaceful retreat from the bustle of sight seeing, another might boast it is party headquarters for the city. You just need to know what hostel style you prefer before you book so you know you will be matching the hostel’s personality to your own.

Also keep in mind that Australians use the word “backpackers” in place of the word “hostel,” so just because it says it is for backpackers does not mean you need to be backpacking in the strictest sense. You just need to be a budget traveler, that is all!

We hope we have helped you limit the amount of time you need to spend on vacation planning, and we hope you have an excellent time in Sydney! For more information about travel in the Land Down Under, be sure to take a look at our Sydney Travel Guide and our Australia Travel Guide.
