Whenever I’m in Sydney, this is my go-to hostel because it is just so friendly, the staff are lovely, it’s really social, and both of their locations are great. One of them is on Bondi beachfront and one of them is slap bang in the middle of Sydney.
Wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the famous Bondi Beach and you’ll see why Wake Up! Bondi Beach is so popular. The hostel offers up all the usual perks… plus an epic rooftop with panoramic views of the ocean where they host yoga classes, BBQs, and wine and cheese nights.
Wake Up Byron Bay is an ideal choice for solo or group backpackers. The hostel reads more like a resort than a backpacker’s hostel, with air-conditioned rooms, bright and breezy communal spaces, a buzzy restaurant and bar. There’s also free yoga classes on offer.
There are many super hostels and flashpackers right now, but I’d say WakeUp! was the first of its kind in this iconic city. This hostel is right next to Central Station, meaning it has one of the best and most convenient locations in Sydney. They also have the VERY BEST service I’ve ever encountered in a hostel.
In Sydney, the intersection of city and nature is magic… and for budget travelers, Wake Up! Bondi Beach will get you to the surf in minutes.
Wake Up! is one of our favourite hostels in the world and extremely gay-friendly (they even host their own Mardi Gras Party onsite every year). Modern, clean, funky, quiet and affordable – Wake Up Sydney ticked all the boxes for us, and we want to shout it from the rooftops!
A community for like-minded travellers from around the world to come together and enjoy one of the most notorious cities in Australia.
Absolutely loved it. I was in an 8 bed room, but it was so spacious, and the layout of it was really nice. The beds are super comfy and you’re in these really cute little huts. There’s also a bar by the pool.
We stayed in Wake Up! Byron Bay and I can’t recommend them enough. They run free yoga every morning, they have a complimentary shuttle bus into town in the evenings and they do free surfboard rental.
