About Australian Backpackers

Save money and stay in comfort. Our good sized 4 bed dorms are generally the same price of a 8-10 share dorm in other backpackers.

Located just a short walk from Kings Cross, Sydney Opera House and the City Centre, Australian Backpackers is the perfect place to stay for your Sydney adventure.

The Australian Backpackers is small and friendly budget accommodation with the best city views, staff and facilities.

Along as being the best place to watch a Sydney sunset our roof terrace is a great place to relax and socialise with other backpackers. We also have entertainment (wine & cheese, BBQ's) on there, if we are not taking you out to the best bars and clubs in Sydney (drinks sometimes included).

You get what you pay for. If you want a really clean, modern hostel, then pay for it. This hostel was cheap and cheerful. Great fun with a cool rooftop terrace and very laid back atmosphere, (probably why its a bit unclean) The rooms were fine and if you wanted can get it cleaned every day. The bathrooms were not the best, hot purpose and good pressure from second floor down. Ben the Staff member was really helpful when given a chance. The only thing that definitely needs to happen is to have a few more cleaners as once one or two people (bad hostel label) leave their dishes it was a downward spiral. Advice to owners, get some professional cleaners in to blitz the place and get some policy to monitor the disrespectful few that which wash up and support them. Get some backpackers to work there and organizes some nightly activities to get a bit better atmosphere. Kings cross is a good location. Some great people watching out of the window. Including walk around on your own at night. (Like any big city!)

Stop moaning about the hostel not being perfect.

Cheap, fun and great party rental. No. bed bugs!
