The 7 Best Hostels in Australia (Updated 2025)

"I stayed here one Christmas and fell in love with the friendly, social atmosphere — they do a great job getting people to talk with plenty of games and activities (free yoga classes, movie nights). The pool is a nice perk and a chill place to hang out after exploring, it’s close to the beach and the center of town, and there’s free Wi‑Fi in communal areas (not the rooms). Dorms are cleaned often but the beds aren’t exceptional, yet the social vibe and very cheap rates more than make up for that." - Matthew Kepnes
