Situated 10 minutes from Sydney airport this is an especially handy place to stay if you have less than 24 hours to spend in Sydney. They will even pick you up from the airport if necessary. The accommodation is definitely not luxurious but so cheap, and it includes a help-yourself continental breakfast in the shared kitchen. They will do your washing for you for $6. It has quite a nice communal feel in which to share tips with your fellow travellers.

Approximate cost: $70 for a double
