Backpacker hostel facilities - Sydney Hostel
When you think of hostels facilities, a couple of things usually come to mind. Broken beds that dip in the middle, dingy, stuffy rooms or leaky showers that have two temperatures -extremely hot or freezing cold. The Jolly Swagman Backpackers Sydney Hostel puts an end to these ideas straight away. I've stayed here for four months and now appreciate the facilities this hostel has to offer compared to others I have stayed in.
At the Jolly Swagman Hostel in Kings Cross, not only are the beds comfortable, the rooms bright and clean and the showers the perfect thing for after working a long shift, but you get so many extras like sinks in some rooms, TV's in some rooms and fridges in every room, which I have not seen in any other hostel. It's a nice feeling to know that when you buy food from the supermarkets that it will still be there waiting for you when you get hungry and another hungry backpacker hasn't beaten you to it.
Our downstairs areas are at the quality of some hotels I have stayed in the world. Our kitchen is spacious, clean and full of equipment which to a backpacker is heaven. There's nothing worse than carrying unnesecary pots and pans on your backpack.
There are also two very social areas in this hostel; the TV room where you can meet new friends amongst comfortable bean bags, and the dining area which leads onto the forcourt is perfect to eat meals and have a few cold one's in the hot Sydney weather.
