Hostels in New South Wales, Australia

Good location. Next to Central Station. But they don’t give you any shampoo, shower gel so you have to bring yours to use . PLEASE have a board/paper at the door to remind people to close the door GENTLY.

Loved this place! Super clean (way cleaner than I expected for a hostel!) and I loved the vibe. Self check-in is super easy, and the app is awesome — discounts plus your room key right on your phone. The rooftop is a gem for drinks and sunsets 🌅. The location is unbeatable — honestly 100/10. Only 15 minutes’ walk to the Opera House, close to trains, trams, buses, and ferries. Lots of restaurants and shops around, and there’s even a little convenience store right next door. If you don’t like stairs, you can just walk around the corner and go up the hill instead.

Location: Located in Haymarket, very close to Central Train Station and Haymarket Light Tram Station, there are bunch of restaurants and supermarkets (just within 3-10 mins walk) around the area which is very convenient for quick access to food, coffee/drinks and groceries. Reception: Reception is very welcoming and friendly, also they provide services like help collecting letters and packages, printing services (1 copy is free yet multiple copies charge $0.2 per page), coin exchange etc. There’s a great open area in front of the reception where you can find sofas and a long workstation available for people to rest and work, the design is also very good. Facilities: There’re a café (Roy’s Café), a bar/club (Side Bar) and a travel agency (Travel Up!) in the building, making my stay very accessible to all the things I need be it coffee or drinks or a travel advice. Kitchen: Kitchen is on the 1/F, it’s relatively spacious. There’re 2 huge fridges and a locker wall for us to store our food. There’re total 8 stoves, 4 sinks, 3-4 microwaves, 1 oven and 1 hot water tap where you can have boiling hot water right away. All utensils are provided so that’s very convenient. Overall the kitchen area has exceeded my expectations. Dorm area: My dorm is on the 4th floor, it’s relatively quiet. And because we’ll need our badges to access the elevator so the security is quite good as well. From the picture you can tell the dorm and hallway are clean enough, also the bathroom is very clean just I didn’t take a picture but it’s clean and comfortable. Also I love the interior design which made it looks aesthetic in a clean way. Just sometimes the dorm room might smells a little bit if your roommates bring in something smelly cuz you’re not able to open the window and the AC is not strong enough. Laundry: There’s also a laundry room each floor, 2 washing machines ($6 each wash, if you need laundry detergent from the reception that will be another $1) and 2 dryers ($4 each use) are equipped, they are big enough to consume a lot of clothes at once which is very good. It could get quite busy at night so I suggested to set an alarm when doing your laundry if you don’t want your clothes being taken out by others. Events: There are free / cheap events every day and every night, if you are a social person you’ll love it. All the volunteers and staff there are really welcoming and they will knock your door to give you invitations, I really love their enthusiasm! Been to wine and cheese night on a Wed night, vibes is good. So definitely recommend this hostel if you love meeting new people through events. After it’s definitely a great stay at Wake Up! Sydney Central and I’d recommend it to people who love a vibrant hostel environment like this.

My wife and I agreed this was probably our favorite hostel in all of Oz (Outback and East Coast). Its a bit expensive but worth it. It’s not in the heart of town, but we preferred the location which has a nice cafe/restaurant directly next door and beach is literally across the street. Could see the water from our private room above reception. Staff could not be friendlier and more helpful, shout out to Argentina, happy for their futbol win! There’s a shuttle that takes you to town every hour, but after a few margaritas it’s a pleasant 20 min walk back even at night. Bathroom and shower was nice, kitchen nice, and wifi was strong. Our only mistake was only staying one night during our east coast tour. Byron is worth as many nights as you can afford.

The front desk staff, Karina was very friendly and provided food suggestions as well as things to look out for when entering the Blue Mountains. The room was nice, everything was clean and orderly and it was a pleasant stay with good proximity from the Blue mountains. Thank you so much!

Parking was tricky but with kind staff they won't be a problem for us. Thanks!

Good place. Will come back again. Easy food. Easy shopping. Easy go. Near station central . Near china town too

The location is fantastic, right by Central Station. It's situated in a bustling commercial district with endless options for dining, shopping, and entertainment. Even the iconic Sydney Opera House is within walking distance, and Chinatown is just around the corner. One thing to note is there's no air conditioning, which could be an issue if you're visiting during the summer months. Despite that, everything else was great. Plus, they offer free luggage storage.

The self-driving tour was spent one night halfway here, there was no service at all, and all depended on self-help. Like student dormitories, the rooms with their own bathrooms are really small but clean, and the kitchen can be used. The overall feeling is good, no The same experience

Looking for an unforgettable stay in Sydney? Look no further! I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic hostel that offers the perfect combination of convenience and comfort, right near Sydney's top attractions. This hostel boasts an unbeatable location, placing you within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. Exploring these renowned sites and immersing yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere has never been easier.
