My Top 9 Hostels in Sydney for 2025

"I like Mad Monkey East Side (formerly Hump Backpackers) because it’s very social: the staff runs plenty of activities like beer pong, BBQs, and pancake breakfasts that make meeting people easy. There’s free breakfast, all-day coffee and tea, nightly activities, comfy soft beds, consistently clean showers, and huge room lockers. Located in the Kings Cross area and surrounded by restaurants, shops, and bars, it’s one of the cheapest hostels on this list and perfect for budget travelers." - Matthew Kepnes
