Bounce Hostel Sydney


Another hostel that I frequently stay at when I'm in Sydney CBD is Bounce. This hostel was awarded as the 'Most Popular Hostel in Sydney' at HostelWorld.com's Hoscar Awards.
The hostel is located across Sydney's Central train station and caters mostly to backpackers. Apart from dormitories they also have private rooms. Guests enjoy 3 communal lounge rooms and a separate TV room. Only downside of staying here is that they don't offer free wifi.


There is a fully-equipped shared kitchen which includes 8 refrigerators.

 
As for the rooms, I usually stay at the female dorms that have their own private bathrooms. This photo was taken inside room 308 where I share the room with 6 other girls.

Another thing I love about Bounce is that their staff are all very friendly. Plus their rooftop has nice sofas where one can relax and enjoy an amazing view of the city skyscrapers. They also host events like if I'm not mistaken every Wednesdays they have this party bus thing where they provide transport and bring you to a bar where you can party and mingle with other travelers. There's also weekly BBQs where you can buy a burger or sandwich for a dollar! ;)

This is my first hostel experience in Sydney and I loved it. If you plan to book with Bounce Hostel, go for it! ;)

Sydney Harbour YHA

Inside Sydney Harbour YHA's 6 share female bedroom.

Before flying to Sydney I struggled to look for a place I can stay at near the city. I've inspected rooms for rent but then some are just too crowded for me. It finally came to a point wherein I had no choice but to look for hostels and my first choice was Sydney Harbour YHA.

First thing that comes to mind when you think about staying in a hostel is budget, which it is actually. Since I'm staying in Sydney for more than month I really needed to have a strict budget. Staying in a hotel or even renting out an apartment is not an option.

 
Check out their female-only sharing room. Hostels usually provide a locker so don't forget to bring your own padlock. Compared to other hostels, Harbour YHA probably offers the biggest rooms.

 
Plus all their rooms have their own private ensuite.

Take note though that rooms don't always look that neat and clean, I was just lucky to be the first to check-in. :) But to give you an idea here's a sneak peek of what rooms really look like (specially when most of your roommates are backpackers), click here and here. Moving on...

This YHA branch is built above archaeological remnants of colonial Sydney so most free walking tours pass by to check it out.

 
What I like most about this hostel is that they offer free Wi-Fi in the lounge area. Plus there's a large fully-equipped kitchen where you can store and cook your own food. 

 
They also have an awesome rooftop with a BBQ area that has an equally awesome view of the harbour.

Tired of walking around the city? Why not stay in and have a movie night?

Overall I really liked my stay at Sydney Harbour YHA. ;) I'd definitely recommend this place to family or friends traveling to Sydney for a week. Their rates start at $38.00AUD per person per day, that's for the sharing room. Apart from Harbour YHA, I've also stayed at Railway Square YHA and Bounce Sydney which are both clean and is located just right outside Central station.
