Nomads Sydney Backpackers Hostel

Nomads Hostel Sydney is right in the centre of the city. Just 2 minutes walk from the famous Darling Harbour, Qantas Credit Union Arena (previously known as Sydney Entertainment Centre) and several cafes, bars and nightlife options. Trains and buses to Bondi Beach, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and ANZ Football Stadium stop just across the street at Town Hall Station. The historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House are a walk away.

The Scary Canary is Nomads Sydney’s local watering hole where backpackers and locals meet. It serves a good quality lunch menu and by night, the bar offers drink specials, DJs and events.

Sydney CBD is a great choice for travellers interested in shopping, food and city walks.

Nomads Sydney acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation nation as the traditional custodians of the land of which we stay and work today.
We pay respect to elders both past and present and stand together with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leads of today and tomorrow.

I had a great experience and was extremely satisfied with my stay. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and social, which made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. A special thank you to Tom and Ben at the reception. They always took excellent care of everything, were incredibly helpful, and made sure that any questions or requests were handled quickly. They were not only professional but also genuinely kind, funny, and always in a good mood, which made the atmosphere even better.
