Base Sydney

Base Sydney is one of Sydney's most centrally located budget hostels. It is 2 minutes’ walk from the famous Darling Harbour, Sydney Entertainment Centre and several cafes, bars and nightlife options.

Trains and buses to Bondi Beach, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and ANZ Football Stadium stop just across the street at Town Hall Station. The historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are a 15-minute bus ride away.

The Scary Canary is Base Sydney’s local watering hole where backpackers and locals meet. It serves a good quality lunch menu and by night, the bar offers drink specials, DJs and events.

Getting to the hostel isn't a hassle, you have a range of options depending on your budget. The cheapest option will be an Airport Connect bus for AUD 14.00, you can arrange for your pick-up outside either terminal - just give us a call once you have collected your luggage and we will show you where to go. Shuttle bus will take roughly 40 minutes to an hour depending on traffice.

The next (and fastest) option will be by City Rail train for AUD 15.00 one way, just let the ticket clerk know that you want to go to Town Hall Station and they can provide the necessary information on where to change platforms etc.

Obviously the most expensive option will be by taxi - setting you back anywhere between AUD 25.00 up to AUD 75.00, again, this all depends on traffic and your arrival/departure time so be careful...

Please note that for bookings of more than 2 guests, Base Sydney will endeavour to reserve beds in the same room (subject to availability).

Minimum age for guests is 18.

Photo ID (only passport or driver's licence) is required upon check-in.
