    On my first trip to Australia in 2005 I picked this hostel at random. The staff are friendly and will bend over backwards to help you. I went back 3 times in my 6 month trip. When I went back in March 2007 the staff remembered who I was (not sure if this is a good thing) and am arriving again in early July 2007. I will be checking into the Swagman again. It is a safe, clean and happy environment. Lots to do in the near locality, plenty of great deals at the local watering holes. An overall happy experience. Don't worry if you're travelling alone because after one night here you won't feel alone.

    Everyone in the hostel gets to know each other, we all go out together and party together.. Swagman till I die!

    The most social hostel I've ever stayed at, anywhere in the world!

    This was one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in and would recommend it. I stayed in a single room and it was like staying in a hotel but with all the character and fun of a good hostel. The room was clean and fresh, and the bathrooms were lovely.

    We liked Jolly Swagman, and do recommend it. Location in Kings Cross was convenient for central city etc. Great having a fridge in the room!

    We had a lovely time here. We were upgraded to a twin room when our pick up was late. Nice and quiet room even though there was obviously going on for those who wanted to party. An excellent place to stay, if you want to see a slightly different side of Sydney.

    Everything fine. Clean, fun, quite neat rooms, good value for money. Upper class for Australia ;) I wish, other hostels before would have been like that.

  • Elise Sweden Feb 08
    Very nice atmosphere, helpful staff
  • Mark England Feb 08
    Party place - always something on, but if you don't fancy going out the whole time it's also cool. Free breakfast (with vegemite!) is good!

    Really helpful staff. They can't do enough for ya. Great location. Comfortable beds. Plenty of buzz in the place and lots going on all the time. Winner in my book!

    I enjoyed it very much and saw it is very much an student/young group type of accommodation, but makes it easy for traveling and cheap accommodation. It is also a place to meet other young people of all countries. Thanks again for the opportunity to have stayed there and would recommend it, especially for having a free breakfast, free pickup at the airport.

    I like the fact that the hostel is not located beside a heavy traffic road. Staff are nice and easy to talk to all the time. 24 hour opened. Close to the railway station

    Very very nice, the best I saw in this period of holiday in Australia.
  • Anon
    This hostel was very clean and tidy given that it accommodates quite a lot of people. The staff works hard to integrate people with various outings.
  • Anon
    Free breakfast, fridge in room is an excellent idea, and that its open 24hours!
    Central location, breakfast included, lockers in rooms, chilled out and easy going.

    This hostel had a large front courtyard area where you could relax and meet people. Inside there is a nice tv room and a comfortable eating area, with a an accommodating kitchen. Most of all the staff were very outgoing an knowledgeable about things about all my touring questions, and even what to expect at the international airport on my way home.
