Find Hostels in Australia

This hotel/ hostel hybrid is a true vision of what every hostel/ hotel should be. I felt the right amount of separation and privacy from the typical hostel scene, but with all the social benefits from both the rooftop with hot tub, sun loungers and beautiful views of CBD and North Melbourne. Hotel Guest have access to Kitchen and also the very social bar downstairs. The executive queen is the best views for value I have ever had maybe anywhere in the world. My USD was strong and was paying about 60USD per night for an absolutely perfect stay. Best Bed ever. ONLY NEGATIVE ( they charge extra for wifi that does not work that well...) Free High Speed wifi @ Space is a must for a hotel doing everything else right.

This hostel is in the perfect location. It's right next to the tram so it makes getting around super easy. Its a short walk from a major restaurant street, local attractions, and the beach. The staff is very friendly and willing to give you a lot of recommendations. There were a lot of people staying here during my stay but didn't make as many friends as I do in other locations for what its worth. Overall, I still recommend this hostel for the value and location.

I have always stayed in hotels, thought I'd try a hostel. Love the place, convenient and central to everything in CBD, my office included. I'm a light sleeper, still manage to get to sleep, even though there is a bar directly underneath (Down Under Bar). I normally stay in the fourth floor, free WIFI always works for me, never had any issues, ever, can't fault the place, prefer this place over a hotel any day having stayed here over a dozen times for work, value for money compared to a hotel. Super friendly staff who always try their best to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Thanks

Great Hostel where it is easy to connect and to make new friends! I stayed here for 5 days and really enjoyed my time here. My room was clean and big enough and I never saw a dirty kitchen (Except for 8-12pm on Friday night, but guess why ... :-P) Staff is very friendly and respectful. Thanks to John the legend-receptionist. He is doing a great job day and night!! Cheers mate! I've been travelling through Australia for 8 month now and I have seen many many hostels: The Nomads Sydney is one of my Highlights!

Stayed on a 6-bed all female dormitory with our own toilet and shower inside which are cleaned daily. Location is also very good, a good walk from Southern Cross station for the airport bus and pretty much everywhere, just one block away from the Queen Victoria Winter Night Market. Didn't purchase any transportation card as we went around Melbourne CBD. Hostel is also the pickup location of the tours we booked.

On the whole the hostel was average. The bathrooms were small and in disrepair as was the kitchen. The wifi didn't work and the staff uninterested. When we checked in we provided our passports for staff to photocopy, I needed a copy of my passport for my IRD application so I asked if I would be able to keep it when we checked out, I was told by staff that wasn't possible because they are all used for scrap paper! On the plus side it was nice to share a double bed, quite unusual in a dorm. If you are looking for a really cheap bed and a loud party atmosphere with backpacker receptionists this might be the place. Otherwise best to look elsewhere.

I really love the location of the hostel. It's just a few steps away from Flinders Street Station, St. Paul's Cathedral and Federation Square. People in the hostel are very friendly. Place is very clean and well-maintained. Had a comfortable sleep because of its spacious and airconditioned room plus the soft bed. They also have daily events/activities that will let the residents interact with each other. They have a cooking place and a roofdeck. They also have 3 computer units, a billiard pool and an area for viewing movies. Internet connection on the 6th floor is pretty stable. Too bad, the connection can't reach the rooms. This is one of my best decisions in Australia. Definitely worth the price and I'd love to stay here again.

This could probably the best backpacker hostel in Australia. Centrally located, you can view Flinder street train station from the kitchen. I walked the whole city area without taking free tram. There’re plenty of supermarkets around, kitchen is big enough to prepare meals or do my work there. I stayed in female dorm, 4 pax with spacious room, ensuite toilet. The room is very clean, mattress is comfy, there’s AC in room also. I enjoyed my stay here, even staying more than going out to the street. Definitely recommended.

My friend and I stayed in a twin room with an ensuite- a nice, comfortable room for a hostel. (Some kind of soap holder would have been appreciated in the shower, though the bathroom was clean and water pressure was good!). All the accomodation in Sydney was very pricey during the weekend of the stay- given the fact, the cost of the room was reasonable. Beds were quite comfortable (double bed + trundle), there was a tv in the room (but no wifi) and the hostel is in a great location. Staff were friendly and we also appreciated the 'cinema' room, which has nightly movie screenings. There are also lockers downstairs where you can put your belongings after checkout ($4 for the first 4 hours and then $2 for the next 4 I think). The staff also helped us to book a YHA discount for the Aquarium. Unfortunately it was quite noisy on Saturday night (seemed mostly to be coming from drunks and hoons on the main road) but Sunday night was much quieter. Would stay there again if on a budget!

It wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t as bad as what others said in their reviews. Maybe they were expecting something like a 5 star hotel in a hostel. One of the cheapest hostels in Sydney and you also get to save on transpo since everything is walking distance. It is regularly cleaned everyday. Facilities great. My favorite are the staff. Special mention to Diego, Angelo, and Bryan!

I stayed in the private room with own toilet. The cleanliness was excellent! everything in my room was clean and sufficient. Location was only ok, because its a little out of town, but only a 3 minute walk to the tram stop! However, its cheap! so it made up a lot for the location. The hostel has a bar with a lot of events throughout the week. Although I did not have a chance to participate, it looks really fun and I would have loved to participate! It made the whole atmosphere super comfortable and fun! The entrance to the hostel is a tiny bit hidden, and I was a little lost maybe due to my jet lag, so do check out good street view or pictures of the front so that you wont miss it!

advantages: awesome location. across the road, there are shopping malls, super market and many restaurants. train station, underground within 5 minutes walk. convenient to everywhere. the hostel has kitchen and a big open area for social. also has laundry room and laundry rack. bathroom is so clean. worth the price. disadvantages: the staff for night shift is really unfriendly. my flight arrived at 22:25, when I arrived the hostel was over 00:00. I have sent the late check in request in advance after I booked the room. the hostel replied it was okay. but after I arrived the hostel, the staff was full of impatience. and keeping asking why I came so late. I answered politely it's because of my flight schedule. he kept blaming me woke him up and even said "you should sleep on the street. I can refund you"."you are small, you can sleep on a chair actually." I don't think it's friendly even though he might be joking. he gave me the key then rush to sleep without any introduction of the facilities. I even didn't know where the toilet was. it is really bad experience.

I enjoyed staying in this hostel twice this month, the previous time I stayed there for 6 nights and this time stayed there for 2nights. In short, the location is perfect for me, near Flinder Street Station and the Victoria Market is just cross the road (P.S: Vic. Market opens 9am to 2pm and you can get lots of cheap veges and fruits there), this hostel is on the free trains zone. The reception opens 24/7. Inside the room, there is a heater and lockers but remember bring your own lock. I stayed in 8 shared-dorm in level 1 and they have 3 floors in total . The kitchen and walk in freezer is on level 2. You can ask the reception for the big container to store all your food and keep in the freezer. For the bowls, plates, cups and cutlery, you have to ask the reception and returned it when check out is fine. The hair dryer can be borrowed in reception. If you just need a budget bed in CBD, I think this hostel provide what you need.

I was backpacking in Sydney and this hostel seemed the best option. If you are okay with sharing a room with 5-9 other people and you are social & like hanging out with other travelers, this is your place. Staff is helpful. And they try to keep the place as clean as possible. One thing I did not like was they (receptionist) asked me to download an app called TIPI and they said I would need it to open the room door etc... however, in the reality when you download an app you have to accept many terms and basically you voluntarily agree to share your private information and data with a 3rd party. So just ask for the key card instead of the app.

we arrived at this hostel from perth by airport shuttle to central station and were only few minutes from our accommodation.as it was our first time in australia having never before stayed in a hostel we found staff really pleasant, rooms clean and no problem with noise. adequate kitchen facilities and free internet.as we were tourists we just needed a place to put our heads down so we were truly happy with the big hostel on elizabeth street.

The location is great, at the rocks, within walking distance from opera house, harbor bridge, darling harbor, fish market, circular quay station, gardens, parks, shopping centers, ... Nice roof view as described by the hostel. it is the cleanest hostel i have ever seen. I stayed in 4 female dorm with private bathroom, it is clean. but no toiletries and towels provided, thanks that I prepared myself well. the mattress cover, cover sheet, pillow sheet I have to return to the reception when I left the hotel. They are very clean, and in white color. Every bed has one private power point and one light. There is also one locker for one person, and a power point inside the locker. But you need to bring you own lock to lock the locker, or rent one from reception desk for AUD$ 5. wifi is not free, it is better you buy the data plan sim from OPTUS telcom, only $2 per day for unlimited calls, sms, and 500 Mb data, it is cheaper than hostel and hotel rate in Australia. Storage of luggage is not free, costs $3 for the first 4 hours, and $1 for the next 4 hours. There is also a power point inside the storage locker. Didn't eat at the hostel, so no comments on food..

I knew this from my friend, she recomend as this is so far the best hostel you can stay in cairns, so i give it a go. Yep i found out its true! I made new friends in the room, we're out and having a good time together, the staff is also helpful and friendly, they always have something happening in the bar like free drinks free pizza, ect. Only the wifi is lame, and you need to pay extra for this. The bathroom is inside each room which is nice. I also got room with balcony, and its pretty big balcony. It is good if you are a smoker. I think this is the best hostel in Cairns.

Would definitely stay at Siesta Hostel again!!! It hit all the marks in our book!Very Clean, Safe, Roomy, Kitchen and was more than adequate for cooking "full meals", as well! There was also a nice standard size Washer & Dryer available, at no additional cost. WIFI was great and worked all the time we were there! There were no personal Microwaves, TVs or Refrigerator in the rooms, but all items were available in the Kitchen/Lounge area. Dishes/Pots & Pans were also available for your use and everyone cleaned up after themselves. This is a "non-glam" type Hostel, but seemed very Fine-tuned and we found it extremely easy to find our way around without any help at all! The bathrooms were nothing to rave about, and but were well maintained and cleaned daily!! This is an older Hostel, but very "Homey" with a helpful staff, who allowed us to store our luggage until our departure, as well! Definitely a great deal for the money and easy access to all the sites!!! Would stay there again!

I have nothing bad to say about this amazing Hostel! The bar is super fun and and the food was very good. All the staff I met was very welcoming, from the start when I was checking in until I was checking out, nothing but exellent costumer service! A big shout out to the Hoisekeepers because my room was spotfree when I checked in! It is also a very convenient placement of the Hostel- Right next to Roma Street Station. I didn't even have to buy my own air train ticket to the airport, they had it all at the Hostel. They were also great with helping me to explore Brisbane as I was traveling by myself, I went to an amazing Koala Santctury and the Australian Zoo - That was beyond amazing and they can sell you the tickets at the Hostel! Doesn't get easier than than! Thanks for my stay, I'm definitely coming back.

This would have to be the best hostel in Perth, esp. for long-term travelers who are looking for a quiet place to get well-deserved rest in between travels. I stayed in a single room, which was the cheapest I could find in the entire state. The internet is excellent here, which is a huge plus and actually quite a rare find in Australia. The manager is extremely friendly and helpful, and gave me a lot of great advice when I first got here. There is a free CAT bus right outside the door, which can take you all over the city for free. The hostel is in a quiet location, away from the party scene (although it is still relatively close-by and easy to walk there if you want to go out), so you can get a good sleep every night. Bathrooms are clean. The room has everything I need: bed, closet/locker and a desk+ chair. I love everything about this hostel! When I am in Perth and need accommodation, I will always choose to stay here! Thank you to all staff who have made my stay wonderful <3

As a first time solo traveller, I can say that this hostel has the perfect location. It is just a stone's throw away from the Central Station, Hay Market City and Paddy's Market. The staff were super friendly and helpful when I asked them for directions. Also, one of the cool things about this hostel is that they give free city tour every Monday. They actually have cool activities all week-long posted on a bulletin board near the lift. The 4- female bedroom where I stayed has 4 lockers and in each locker has their own power outlet. Ain't that cool? Overall, my stay at this hostel was awesome! Plus, I get to meet new friends - my roommates and other hostel guests I randomly meet at the bathroom or the lift lobby. *^_^*

Accommodation in Cairns was extremely scarce due to the eclipse and the YHA was full, but Agoda double booked us! Even though it was not the YHA's problem, the staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a place to stay for the duration of our booking. One staff member stayed after her shift to continue calling around to other hostels and in the end they emptied their reading room and brought in beds so we would have a place to stay! We were very impressed. The hostel was very clean and well looked after and the pool was also a highlight.

It is a good place in Sydney: cheap and good location. The kitchen in the evening is very dirty because the guys in the hostel they don't have any education about it. There is right that will be a fine of 50$ if you don't clean but at that time in the hostel there is any worker so no control. But all the rest is good and very nice atmosphere and the staff was very nice.

This was the best hostel in Australia. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were always available for use. The common area always had people hanging around so it was easy to make friends. Even though it was a social place, the rooms were quiet at night. The staff was very friendly and can book tours for you if you wish. I would definitely recommend staying here!

My boyfriend and I stayed here just one night and were really pleased with the hostel. The reception was 24hour and the guy we dealt with was really friendly and chatty. Our room was like a hotel room but nicer than most hotels we've stayed in! It was a really cold night and there was just one sheet and a light throw on the bed so I was glad I'd brought my own fleece blanket. The ensuite was big, very clean and modern and had lovely fluffy white towels. I didn't like the shower as it sprayed in all directions but was certainly managable and was clean and the water was hot. We ate in the bar downstairs which was really modern and relaxed. The food was excellent, the service was really good and the prices very reasonable. As I only booked the hostel that day I couldn't book a carpark space as they were all booked out but there was plenty of parking on the street outside, which is away from the main road and had no problems parking there for free. I would definitely go back to the Brisbane YHA, it's a bit more expensive than other hostels but definitely worth paying a bit extra for.

Great place, I had to extend my stay for two more nights and the staff made it go smoothly, they were great and friendly saying hello and good morning every day. They offer great discounts on tours and book them for you. It was a quite hostel which is prefect as I’m long past my party days. My only complaint that it’s far to walk with your bag in the hot sun to the bus station and that the rooms washroom had no hand wash provided.

The hostel is so good, no matter the public facilities or the location. However, there are some things that are annoying: one thing is that I wait until 3:30pm to check in because staff told me the room isn't ready.( The check-in time should be 2 pm) . Another, the e-way of check-in and the e-key doesn't work well that the system can't find my details or I need to ask for help for several time.
