Glebe Point YHA

Newtown & the Inner West


A popular choice for working travellers, this chilled-out hostel has decent facilities, plenty of organised activities and simple rooms with sinks and ageing mattresses. Less uptight than some YHAs, there's a convivial vibe, particularly on the rooftop terrace. It's in a quiet location with Glebe's cafes and restaurants a couple of blocks away and easy transport into town.
