Hi, im coming to Melbourne in 2 weeks but im flying into Sydney for a 4 days first.

Can anyone recommend a decent hostel? Is the Blue Parrot any good? Its on Macleay Street. Im travelling myself so a hostel is perfect.

I know this forum is for more serious stuff but if anyone can help that would be great cheers

Hi Stu, sorry I can't help but I know a hostel was mentioned recently so search on Sydney hostel and you should find the thread. I think pompeyblonde was on it, so that should narrow it down.

I have stayed in a few in my time! Do you want to share or get a single room? If you're sharing go for the central YHA, fab hostel with great facilities, cafe, bar kitchens TV rooms etc... but single rooms a bit expensive.

there are som many to choose from and also depends if you want to be central, there are a few good ones in Kings Cross, haven't atyed at the blue parrot but it looks ok on the tinternet!

yeah there are tons on the net, ill give it a go anyway. thank you both for your help

Wanderers on Kent Street is pretty decent, that's where I stayed and is behind the town hall (if i recall rightly). Quite a central location and not far from most places, including Darling Harbour. I just googled it and it may have changed to 'Nomads Wanderers on Kent', it's nothing outstandingly special, but had everything you'd need!

thanks ill check that out too before i book

Also, if you're going to Cairns I stayed in the most amazing wee hostel up there! lol

Cracking wee spot, and not far from the famous woolshed lol

stu, railway square yha is the way to go imo.
clean,safe & social (unlike central yha which is too big for that)
