Backpacker Hotels
Backpacker Hotels offer the entry-level form of accommodation. In Australia, they are the fastest growing section of accommodation providers, as people began to realise that backpacker hotels does not necessarily translate into grimmy, places, but offer quite comfortable and clean accommodation for just a fraction of the rates offered by mainstream hotels. Those associated with Youth Hostels Association can be expected to maintain a certain degree of comfort.

If you are contemplating booking accommodation at a backpacker hotel, you need to adjust your expectations accordingly. A good way to do your homework is to view the list of Hostels in Australia. Listed here are the backpacker hotels, their facilities, and details on whether you can book a bed in a dormitory or a private room, whether there are attached bathrooms, and so on. For some of these places, you can also check comments left behind by others who have booked there. These are all useful tips before you decide.
When you make your booking, you will pay a deposit of about 10% of the total price of your accommodation. This is not a booking fee, so when you arrive at the establishment, expect to pay only the balance and not the full amount.
