Stay with us and make yourself at home - right in the centre of the Kings Cross backpacker scene. Kings Cross is a lively nightclub area & red light district which is at the heart of Sydney's backpacker scene so there is always lots to do & lots of travellers to do it with! However as we are located only metres from famous bars please dont expect it to be too quiet!
This is a perfectly sized, owner operated business which is big enough to meet lots of different types of people & not too big to be impersonal. Rich, the owner will do everything to assist to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Our renovated (in parts!) place is designed for you to have a great time. All rooms have air conditioning, free large towel supplied. Guests can have free Internet access and free WiFi Hotspot internet access with their own laptop PC's.
We offer free airport pick-up between 5.30am and 8.00pm if you stay for 4 nights (call the hostel (contact details given after booking) when you arrive at the airport). At the international airport the pick up point is called the meeting point,it is a big blue wall between arrival gates a/b and c/d opposite a flower shop. At the domestic airport look for the minibuses outside the terminals. Do not pay cash to any bus driver if you want the free transfer.
There are Pub crawls with free beer or champagne almost every day- a great way to make new mates. Car parking is available from $15 per 24 hours or on the street for free. Reception hours are 8am – 2pm & 5pm til midnight 7 days. You are welcome to arrive at any time if you either wait in the tv room for reception hours or give us advance notice of when you intend to arrive.

KINGS CROSS LOCATION
Inner city Kings Cross is an ideal, base when visiting Sydney. An eclectic mix of grand sandstone buildings, terraces, cottages and modern apartments contain a colourful, eclectic community well known for its diversity. This is the most popular location where hostellers choose to stay because it is a lively, busy, central location with great transport and entertainment options. Numerous clubs, pubs and bars are literally right outside the door in this well known "Red Light District" and just a short walk away in Darlinghurst. Travellers who prefer a quieter location should consider accommodation in other areas of the city. Famous attractions are an easy walk away including the Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, Sydney Tower, Darling Harbour, Sydney Aquarium, Botanic Gardens, Art Gallery of NSW, and the CBD. The train and bus stations are nearby for easy access to all parts of Sydney including Bondi Beach, the Blue Mountains or beyond. And the ferries will take you across the sparkling harbour to Taronga Zoo and Manly. We treat you like a mate at our place. Rich & his friendly staff are always around to say g'day and give plenty of advice and info to help you have a fantastic stay.
WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
"Â…Rich is really sound will really look after you. Kings Cross is really central but not everyone's cup of tea!! Good hostel though!' Niamh(from Ireland), June 07'Great laugh. Really fun place to be. Cheap!! Everybody is really friendly and is in a great place. Staff get everyone involved in all the events. Recommend to anyone'' Matthew (from England) May 07'Really nice hostel located in the heart of Kings X. Probably the cleanest and nicest kitched I've ever seen in a hostel or otherwise. Only gripe is that you play roulette with the shower temperature sometimes. Satellite TV in the lounge was great for watching afternoon hockey. Will return! '
