    Best hostels in Sydney for solo travellers<\/h2>\n

    Thinking of a quick solo trip? Or perhaps you\u2019re planning a long adventure around Australia? When travelling solo, staying in a hostel is the perfect way to a) save money on accommodation and (most importantly) b) meet like-minded travellers along the way. Creating new memories with the people you meet along the way, may just be one of, if not the best thing about travel.<\/p>\n

    Wake Up! Sydney Central<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

    \"Best<\/p>\n

    One thing I always look out for when going solo is the proximity of the hostel to the city centre or main transportation link. Obviously, this is greatly dependant on what my plans are for the country, but generally when I go to a new city being close (preferably walking distance) from the city centre or transport links is a huge tick in my book. Wake Up! Sydney Central is just a short 7-minute walk from Central Station (score!). This easy-going hostel also offers both mixed-sex and female-only dorms. A perfect choice for those looking to party the nights away with activities lined up for every day of the week, including beer pong tournaments, live music, pub crawls and free pizza (yep, you read that right, free pizza!). Not to mention, Wake Up! Sydney Central is the winner of multiple industry awards such as \u2018Most Popular Hostel in Sydney\u2019 for 3 years in a row. The location, standard, events and credits that this hostel has under its belt, make it a real contender when it comes to choosing a hostel for your solo adventure.<\/p>\n
