Original Backpacker
Kings Cross, NSW
About
Original Backpacker sits in the heart of Kings Cross, Sydney's most vibrant inner-city neighbourhood. The location is ideal for travellers wanting easy access to Sydney's iconic attractions. Mrs Macquarie's Chair, the Coca-Cola Billboard, and Hyde Park Obelisk are all within walking distance, along with the Justice & Police Museum for those interested in Australian history. The Cahill Expressway Lookout offers sweeping views of the harbour and city skyline.
Kings Cross itself buzzes with energy, offering countless bars, cafes, and restaurants within arm's reach. The hostel appeals to independent travellers and backpackers seeking a social, central base without feeling removed from Sydney's pulse. With a solid Google rating of 4.1 from over 500 reviews, Original Backpacker has earned trust among budget-conscious visitors. The neighbourhood's public transport connections make exploring further afield straightforward, whether heading to Bondi Beach or the inner west. This is a hostel for those who want to be in the thick of things, surrounded by fellow travellers and the city's nightlife, rather than in a quieter or beachside location.
