Pacific House Hostel
Pacific House Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. The place is spotless, stylish, and full of character—exactly what I was looking for in a budget-friendly stay. It's perfectly located near the Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden, making it super easy to explore on foot. I loved taking morning and evening walks around the area—the fresh air and scenic views were unforgettable. What really stood out was the free breakfast, luggage storage, and the nightly wine and cheese social event, which made meeting other travelers feel so welcoming. The only downside? Renting a locker cost $8, but honestly, given how small and popular the space is, it’s not surprising. Overall, this hostel delivers amazing value, comfort, and vibe. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney.
The King's Hotel Sydney
Staying at The King's Hotel in Sydney was an absolute delight! Despite facing a busy street, the rooms were incredibly quiet—thanks to excellent soundproofing, which surprised me. I was especially happy they allowed pets, making it perfect for travelers like me who don’t want to leave our furry friends behind. The air conditioning worked flawlessly, and the beds were incredibly comfortable—great for relaxing after a long day of exploring. The sofas in the room added extra coziness, and everything felt clean and well-maintained. Location is fantastic: just a short walk from public transit and major attractions. This hotel offers top-tier comfort and service at a price that feels totally fair. Definitely a standout choice—highly recommend for anyone visiting Sydney!
Original Backpackers
I’ve stayed at plenty of hostels before, but this one truly stands out. The staff are genuinely friendly and always ready to help—just ask, and even other guests jump in to lend a hand. It feels more like a community than a place to sleep. The showers and restrooms aren’t luxury hotel standards, but they’re clean, functional, and thoroughly cleaned twice daily by the team, which makes a big difference. Once, I accidentally dropped coins meant for the dryer into the washing machine. I was worried it’d be a total loss, but the staff handled it with zero annoyance—they covered the cost and just laughed, saying, 'Well, someone’s got free laundry now!' That little moment made me feel so much better. There are plenty of female travelers here too, so it’s welcoming for everyone, no matter your gender. Great location, easy access to public transit, and an overall vibe that feels safe and warm. Definitely a top pick if you're looking for a genuine, human-centered stay.
MAD Monkey Bayswater
Staying at MAD Monkey Bayswater was an absolute highlight of my trip to Sydney. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Kings Cross train station, with tons of bars, cafes, and restaurants right outside the door. I felt completely safe even wandering around late at night, which is rare in big cities. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to lend a hand or share local tips. What really stood out was the vibe among guests—everyone was open, welcoming, and happy to strike up a conversation. It felt like being part of a travel-minded community rather than just another hostel. If you're looking for a fun, social, and well-located stay in Sydney, this place delivers on every level.
The Jensen Potts Point
Staying at The Jensen Potts Point was an absolute delight. The room was spacious and located on the third floor, featuring a large balcony that offered a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Potts Point, with countless little restaurants just steps away, making dining out incredibly convenient. There’s also a big supermarket nearby, so grabbing snacks or essentials was a breeze. We arrived early and had to wait until 2 PM for check-in, but the staff happily stored our luggage without any hassle. Everything about this stay was seamless and enjoyable. From the comfort of the room to the prime location and friendly service, it’s clear this hotel delivers excellent value. I’ll definitely be returning next time I visit Sydney.
East Sydney Hotel
This charming, vintage-style hotel is a hidden gem in East Sydney. Despite its classic architecture, the location is unbeatable—just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Opera House, museums, and a nearby train station, making exploration effortless. The shared bathrooms were consistently clean and well-maintained, which was a big plus. While housekeeping doesn’t service rooms during your stay, it didn’t affect our comfort at all. Though breakfast isn’t provided, the hotel offers complimentary tea, coffee, and water throughout the day—perfect for a quick pick-me-up. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful: we enjoyed early check-in and had our luggage stored until late on our departure day, all at no extra cost. With its prime location, friendly service, and great value, this place truly stands out. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to any traveler visiting Sydney.
Nate's Place Backpackers Sydney
Nate's Place Backpackers in Sydney was an absolute gem! The hostel was always spotless, with a stunning bathroom and a gorgeous rooftop terrace perfect for relaxing or enjoying the city views. Soft background music played throughout the space—just right, never intrusive, and really added to the welcoming vibe. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to assist guests. The location was fantastic—everything we wanted was within walking distance, from cafes to attractions. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-designed, making us feel right at home. It’s rare to find such a peaceful, well-run place with such great value. I’d highly recommend this hostel to any traveler looking for a warm, authentic Sydney experience.
MAD Monkey Kings Cross
I had an absolutely fantastic stay at MAD Monkey Kings Cross! The fellow travelers here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making it easy to strike up conversations and make new friends. The staff go above and beyond—they’re warm, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything you need. What really stands out is their daily events—there’s almost always something fun going on, from game nights to group outings, which adds a great social vibe to the experience. Located just minutes from central Sydney by train, it’s super convenient for exploring the city. Clean, lively, and packed with personality—this place truly feels like home away from home.
Boardrider Backpackers and Budget Motel
This place is absolutely fantastic—right next to the beach and just a short walk from everything you need. The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and welcoming. My room was by far the coziest I’ve stayed in during my entire trip to Australia—simple but warm and inviting, with a comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep. What really stands out is the weekend market nearby; it's lively and full of local charm, perfect for picking up souvenirs or trying some street food. Even if you miss the market, there are plenty of shops and cafes along the street, so you’re never far from something interesting. Great value, great location, and a real home-away-from-home vibe. Definitely recommend this budget-friendly gem for travelers who want convenience, comfort, and a bit of local flavor.
Trademark Hostel - Fully Air Conditioned
Staying at Trademark Hostel was an absolute delight! The capsule rooms are incredibly comfortable, with a perfect balance of softness and support—woke up feeling refreshed and energized. The fully air-conditioned environment made for a cozy and relaxing stay, no matter the weather outside. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, well-prepared, and full of local touches like hot coffee and traditional pastries. Easy access to the metro station means you can explore Sydney’s city center or nearby attractions without hassle. Great value for money, clean, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. I’d definitely come back and recommend this place to any traveler looking for comfort, convenience, and a touch of local charm.
Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point
Staying at Orange Stay Apartments Potts Point was a solid choice, especially for the location. The building is just steps away from King Cross Metro station, with a bus stop right outside—perfect for getting around Sydney. The area itself is vibrant, packed with diverse restaurants, local markets, and shops, making daily life super convenient. The apartment had a smart access system with magnetic key cards for both the main door and elevator. We were in a two-bedroom unit: the larger bedroom had a built-in wardrobe and a private balcony—great for relaxing. However, the second bedroom wasn’t ideal; it was separated from the living area by a partial wall that didn’t reach the ceiling, and there was only one narrow shelf for clothes. Plus, it faced a very noisy street, so we had to keep the window closed most of the time. The open-plan living-dining area included a full kitchenette, and the bathroom came with a shower. Wi-Fi was strong and reliable. Cleaning was done weekly, and while not daily, they provided essentials like toiletries, dish soap, and laundry detergent. Since there’s no front desk, we coordinated our check-in time directly with the onsite manager who gave us his contact number. For checkout, we simply left the keys inside the unit and walked out—no hassle at all. The rate was the highest among all my accommodations in Australia, but considering Sydney’s premium pricing and prime location, it felt justified. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you value convenience, great transport links, and a central base in a lively neighborhood.
Hotel Diplomat
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with no major issues whatsoever. The location is excellent—right in the heart of the action, surrounded by great cafes, restaurants, and shops. I loved how easy it was to get around, especially using public transit to explore Sydney. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help with any request. One standout feature was the Goki app—it worked flawlessly for check-in and room access, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Clean rooms, great amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere made this a truly enjoyable experience. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Sydney.
