Other Cheap Accommodation in Sydney

Hostels in Sydney

If you’ve got your motor runnin’, ready to head out on the highway, looking for adventure … you might be thinking that cheap hostels in Sydney may come your way for your last-minute getaway. But if bunk-bedding it isn’t on your list of must-haves for your upcoming trip, there’s another accommodation option that can get you way more with even wilder savings.

A host of accommodations

An affordable Sydney hostel may be a great way to hang with fellow travelers and to hold onto some change for the road, but why not get a smidgen of privacy (and your own bathroom) and book a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel instead? Even if you’re looking to grab a place at the last minute, you can get semi-truck-sized savings. In fact, you can enjoy modest savings versus booking a listed rate two weeks earlier, so locking down that 4-star hotel room at a 2-star price is no biggie.

Pack away the idea that you can only afford hostels in Sydney on your last-minute getaway, and book that unlisted Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deal. It’ll be an easy rider on your vacay budget.

Deals so good, you won’t even miss the “s”

You get so much more when you book a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel, even over the best hostels in Sydney. Beyond privacy, you can filter hotel deals by what matters most to you for your stay:

  • Price: Score a high-end hotel for Sydney hostel prices when you filter by price and explore your perfect Hotwire Hot Rate deal.

  • Amenities: Whether you’re looking for great Wi-Fi to post your adventures on the ‘gram or want to cool your heels in a pristine pool, you can verify that all of your gotta-haves are met.

  • Reviews: Make sure you’re the royalty of the road and check the Hotwire Hot Rate hotel reviews to find private primo places for less.

There’s no need to take the road less traveled and stay in cheap hostels in Sydney when picking your last-minute getaway stays. Booking a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deal lets you adventure on a dime, while getting everything you want. And you probably won’t miss that shared bathroom.

Whether you’re looking for an affordable Sydney hostel to save cash or to get social on your getaway, there’s a better option in town. Booking a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deal can save you big money while allowing you to have some space and privacy you can’t get at a hostel.

What are the best cheap hostels in Sydney?

Even the best hostels in Sydney can’t hold a candle to the privacy of staying in a hotel, and what you’ll spend on cheap hostels isn’t far off from the dough you’ll save when you book a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deal. Not to mention, you’ll get way more bang for your buck. Like 4-star hotels at a 2-star price kind of bang. And with deals that good on Sydney hotels, you’ll still have money for all of your trip fun, without the lullaby of other people’s snores as you rest up for your next adventure. 


Why should I stay in a hostel?

Travelers usually stay in hostels for a couple of reasons: saving money and hanging out. But here’s some great news—you don’t have to stay in a cheap Sydney hostel to reap those benefits. Instead, you can save some stacks and sleep in your own room when you book a spot with Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deals. You’ll get a lot more than you bargained for, plus you get a room with your own space, shower, and TV. And as far as those hangs, you’ll still have plenty of time and money to get adventurous and as social as you want on your last-minute getaway. 


What is a hostel?

Hostels are affordable shared lodgings that typically include a bed in a communal room and dorm-style bathrooms. Some even have curfews. But hostels in Sydney aren’t your only option when it comes to extra-budget-friendly travel. When you’re looking to take a last-minute getaway to Sydney, book your stay with a Hotwire Hot Rate hotel deal and you’ll save a ton. You won’t know the name of your hotel until after you’ve booked, but you will know the neighborhood, the reviews, and the amenities you can count on. Then, sit back, relax, and count all the cash you’ve saved.
