Location
Before booking a hostel in Australia always do your research and find out exactly where the hostel is located. When it comes to staying in Sydney, location is everything. With around 4.5 million people moving around the city every day, public transport can often be a bit of a hassle. It’s therefore a wise choice to choose a hostel in Australia like the Jolly Swagman, which is conveniently located in the middle of Kings Cross. Kings Cross is the unofficial meeting place for all backpackers from around the world, it also happens to be Sydney’s party district, with over 50 nightclubs packed into one small area.
Social Atmosphere
When you are trying to decide upon a hostel in Australia always check to see if the hostel offers a social service that includes activities, a common room and information on things to do around town. For example, the Jolly Swagman boasts a fully decked out common room that no other hostel in Australia can even compete with. Its jam packed with comfy bean bags, a big screen TV, X-Box 360, vending machines and a DVD library that rivals the local video shop.
Travel Service
Every hostel in Australia should have its own travel service to aid you in planning your trip. Some hostels even have their own fully licensed internal travel agency, like the Jolly Swagman. If the hostel in Australia has a travel agency on the premises, this will save you a lot of time, money and effort, as you will have easy access to booking facilities, expert staff, discounted travel vouchers, brochures and even bus/train tickets.
