Located in the heart of Sydneys Backpacker Mecca - Kings Cross - the Jolly Swagman Hostel is open 24 hours and is has been the heart and soul of the Australian Backpacker world for over 15 years. We have become famous for giving backpackers the time of their lives.
With breathtaking, scenic views of the city skyline, the spectacular Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, all highlighted by vivid sunsets, the Jolly Swagman is located in the heart of Sydney's best nightlife. All the best clubs and pubs are only a hop, skip and a jump away so there is no need for trains, buses or taxis. SAVE that money for drinking.
It doesn't matter if you're traveling alone because there's always a crowd going out with you to show you around. If going out on a blinder isn't your scene, why not pull up a chair in our cafe courtyard for a few quiet cleansing brews.
Time to kick back and relax. Pack your sun cream and your dark glasses and take a bus trip to BONDI, home of the beautiful and scantily clad for days of idling in the sun, learning to surf or just working on that tan to taunt the friends back home?
Aaahhh the life!
Being centrally located, we are only 10 minutes walk from the Opera house, the harbor and the city with all the color and fun of great restaurants, pubs, and a nightlife... all on your doorstep!
With a lively, energetic bunch of managers, who?셶e been, seen and done it all themselves, the Jolly Swagman maintains a reputation for the friendliest staff, the cleanest beds, and the best rates. There is also a TV, fan and fridge in all rooms.
