A TRULY REIMAGINED HOSTEL EXPERIENCE IN OUR HARBOUR CITY

At Pacific House Hostel, we believe that luxury and affordability are compatible, that the historical and contemporary are excellent bedfellows. We believe that a traveller needs to feel secure, at ease, inspired and instantly at home to have the best possible experience. With all this in mind, we set out to create the new frontier of hostel, for a new era of travel.

Situated in an unparalleled inner city location and housed in an iconic heritage-listed building dating back to 1892, Pacific House Hostel has a rich mixed history as a temperance hotel, city hospital and finally hostel accommodation. Its unique situation grants our guests unfettered access to Sydney’s cultural life, with the city, art galleries and nightlife all within easy walking distance.
