Backpackers Sydney: partying

10 August 2012

Backpackers Sydney for partying.

Key points to remember

Top party hostels in Sydney: Wake Up! Sydney (Central), Mad Monkey Bayside, Bounce Sydney, Sydney Backpackers. Expect 35-50 AUD per night in 6-8 bed dorms, with an integrated bar and parties every day.

If you follow my blog, you know that I lived 6 months in Sydney JUST to party and also to live an Australian life because a trip is a whole experience and you don’t really know a country if you only travel!

&nbsp ;

These 6 months in Sydney were very festive, as evidenced by my many photos in youth hostels partying.

My experience

My 2 months at Wake Up! Sydney upon arrival WHV: crowded dorm, but 50 friends from around the world in 1 month, bar with happy hour, themed parties. Unbeatable to start a WHV with your network.

Why is it easier to party in Backpackers Sydney?

Did you know?

Sydney has more than 40 backpacker hostels listed on Hostelworld, including about ten considered “party hostels”. The density is one of the highest in the world, just after Bangkok and Berlin.

  • There are other young travelers wanting to have fun.
  • The atmosphere makes you socialize with others to party.
  • It costs less to party at the hostel especially if you drink goon (4-liter box wine for 12 dollars while a cocktail costs just as much).
  • Some hostels have bars in the basement or on the ground floor.
  • Young travelers want to forget their country and discover other things.

Note that Anglo-Saxons are the most motivated to party or play “drinking games”.

Advantages

  • Low price (35-50 AUD)
  • Immediate networking
  • Integrated parties
  • Accessible city center
  • Young international crowd

Disadvantages

  • Sleep difficulties (night noise)
  • Shared bathrooms
  • Thefts possible between travelers
  • Wifi sometimes saturated
  • Atmosphere not for everyone

Backpackers Sydney: The best youth hostels in Sydney for partying!

  • The wake up in Sydney, I lived 2 months in this backpacker in different 8-person rooms, it was like my home and even having my own room, I would go back to party there. It’s always very festive on Monday, Wednesday and even more on weekends!

It is one of the largest backpackers in Sydney.

The classic trap to avoid

Never leave your wallet or phone in the dormitory without a lock. Many hostels provide free lockers: use them systematically, even for short absences.

The Wake Up has a bar in the basement, the “side bar,” which hosts live music on Mondays and Wednesdays. It’s a place I couldn’t do without; I spent a lot on drinks there even when having a pre-drink before :D. What is the side? It’s the place where you have the best chance to meet people and start a conversation with the hotel kitchen. There are themed parties every night.

To delve deeper into the topic, the guide on partying in Sydney provides additional practical advice. You will also find interesting leads in our article on Sydney’s spots, and if you are preparing the next part of your trip, the one on Conseil Voyageur celebrates is timely.

HostelNeighborhoodPrice per night
Wake Up! SydneyCentral~40 AUD
Mad Monkey BaysideBondi~45 AUD
Bounce SydneyCentral~38 AUD
Sydney BackpackersCBD~35 AUD
  • The Base in Sydney, Base is a bit like Wake Up but with fewer people and it’s less clean but also cheaper :D. That’s normal, quality comes with price. You find the same type of atmosphere in the hotel bar as the side bar but with a few less people, but that doesn’t mean you will have less fun. 😀
&nbsp ;
  • The hostels in Kings Cross, these are the hostels in Sydney’s “Red Light district.” Contrary to what people think, it’s a neighborhood where you feel safe. You also find the cheapest youth hostels in Sydney! Cheaper means poorer backpackers, so travelers who will drink “goon” and party at the hostel and go clubbing afterwards! If you choose to go to this area, there are many bars and clubs in the neighborhood, and it’s a 15-minute walk from downtown Sydney.
&nbsp ;
  • The other youth hostels in the city: in this particular case, I can’t advise anything as it really depends on the people present in the hostel, and there are often curfews for partying, and most of the time, it ends at 10 p.m.!
