Elephant Backpacker
A Hostel providing Budget Accommodation
Elephant’s best feature is its location. It’s only a few minutes walk to the city centre and main Sydney attractions like the Opera House and harbour. We have been refurbishing the hostel and although she is an old building our rooms, showers, and communal areas are fresh and clean.
What to expect!
The hostel enjoys large accommodation rooms, roomy corridors and a heritage staircase of a by-gone era as it was built as a hotel in 1894. Set over 4 levels, the top 3 floors accommodate a variety of dormitories and private rooms with each level having communal ladies and men’s shower blocks and separate toilets. All accommodation rooms are provided with bed linen, lockers and reading lights.
The ground floor houses a communal kitchen and dining area, tv room, our reception and our breakfast room.
Woolloomooloo, the gentrified city fringe suburb of the hostel is just opposite Hyde Park and a few minute walk to the city center. It is 10 minute walk to the Sydney Opera House or 15 minutes’ bus ride from Bondi Beach. Enjoy taking the underground travelator across from our hostel to Hyde Park!
The hostel caters for domestic as well as international travellers and we offer budget priced accommodation with friendly service. We are not a party hostel and welcome guests who wish to socialise in a safe and pleasant environment.
We also welcome disable guests and have a large lift that can accommodate wheel chairs.
