I'm going in May as well...I chose to stay at St. Christopher's Village in
London...reasonably priced, and a hot tub on the top floor balcony.
Wow, that makes three of us. Except that I'm probably much older than you
both. LOL
I can still stay in youth hostels over there, right?

Hello!
May this year I'll be visiting London. I've found some
hostels through the internet, but how do I know which ones are
trustworthy.
Is there a guide or anything like that?
I've found 2 hostels which over en suite facilities:
Bayswater International Youth House
and London House Hotel
Has anyone ever been to either and what were their thoughts about the
hostel??
Thanks in advance,
Sincerely,
Joyce

Initial googles came up with this site:
http://www.bootsnall.com/hostels/aus/syd/
Be careful searching for hostels using these sites that take online
bookings. They do not list all the hostels and they often state
something like "no online availability", which appears to suggest that a
hostel is full. This is often not the case, it can mean the hostel does
not have a relationship with the booking company, or the hostel
management hasn't allocated any beds to the booking system.
Many of these booking sites are affiliates of the same company
(hostelworld) and they therefore all use the same hostel database. They
will also list guest houses, instead of hostels, if a hostel is not
prepared to play ball and let them take commission on the bookings they
take. You could therefore look at one of these sites and think that
there is not a hostel in that town.
Much better to get your information from another source... |

One site which is useful is the www.bugaustralia.com one which doesn't
actually do bookings, but has user reviews of many hostels throughout
the Pacific and gives hostels a chance to put their own booking
information with the review. I have used and contributed to this site.
There can be advantages to sites like the bootsnall one, as it gives a
chance to find some sort of accomodation from anywhere in the world and
it can be used alongside the bugaustralia site or a guide book for some
sort of commentary.
AS for the original question, my favourite would be Glebe YHA. Others
have reported favourably on the Glebe Village Backpackers, just along
the road. |

Byron Bay is the only place it's ever happened to me. Accommodation always
seems to be tight there.
The YHA in Sydney looks good from the outside and it's in a good, central
location. You can book it online at www.yha.com.au

There are at least three YHAs in Sydney - central (across from the railway
station), Glebe (kinda funky, much more personal, fewer amenities, and a
longer walk to the CBD although more than feasible) and a seasonal one on
the water.
Yes, Byon's accom. is usually fairly full up but again I've never had a
drama. |
