    Neighborhood
    Surry Hills
    Once regarded as the traditional fashion area, Surry Hills has broadened its appeal. This neighborhood continues to distinguish itself as a shopping destination, offering the best collection of one-of-a-kind boutiques, designer brands and flagship stores in the city. Today, this area has evolved into a hub of media, design and professional services - a colorful and diverse place equally known for its antique dealers, art galleries, cafes and pubs. Strolling down the street on a Saturday morning, you’ll see a mix of students, artists, hipsters and a few all-nighters from Oxford Street, the “Gay Capital of Sydney”. In this vibrant neighborhood you will find bohemian chic and modern style co-existing side by side.

    Nice hostel centrally located, with breakfast and 4-bed dormitories with ensuite bathroom
    I stayed there for 6 nights. I stayed in two different 4-bed dormitories. It was very nice to have an ensuite bathroom and it was cleaned every day. However the beds were a bit noisy in both rooms. It would be perfect if there were individual bed lights to read a book in the…

    Excellent Hostel in town
    Such a great place, amazing staff. Huge clean kitchen, rooftop garden and large dining and lounge area. No issues with location being so central, right near Central Station. Couldn’t fault it. Avoid Billabong Gardens in Newtown!!
