Overview of The Pacific House Hostel

The Pacific House Hostel occupies a building that dates back to 1892, making it one of the older properties travellers can book in Sydney's inner-city harbourside suburb of Woolloomooloo. According to Traveloka's listing data, the building was last renovated in 2022, so guests get a nineteenth-century address combined with a more recent refresh. Its full address is 50-58 Sir John Young Crescent, Woolloomooloo, Sydney, New South Wales 2011, Australia.

Listed on Traveloka as a hostel with a 4.5-star classification, The Pacific House Hostel is a mid-sized property of 46 rooms spread over four floors, served by an elevator. That scale sits between a small backpacker house and a large city hotel: big enough to support an on-site restaurant, a bar, a cafe and a fitness centre, but compact enough that the shared lounges and recreation areas remain the social heart of the stay. The listing also describes it as a historical building, which is the property's clearest point of difference from the newer high-rise accommodation found across much of central Sydney.

The hostel is set up for travellers who want a sociable, budget-conscious base rather than full-service hotel extras. Room service is not offered and there is no on-site parking, but the property balances this with a long list of communal facilities, a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security, and a breakfast service each morning. Smoking is prohibited inside the accommodation, pets are not allowed, and guests must be at least 18 to check in.

Room Types at The Pacific House Hostel

The Pacific House Hostel has 46 rooms in total, according to Traveloka's property data. The structured room-by-room feed for this listing does not publish a fixed list of named room categories, so rather than guess at bed configurations or room sizes, this guide points you to the live room selector on the property page, which shows the exact room and bed options on sale for your dates.

What the listing confirms about the rooms

The facility data for The Pacific House Hostel lists air conditioning and non-smoking rooms, and the property's house rules state that smoking is prohibited inside the accommodation. The listed room voltage is 230V. Australian power sockets differ from the ones used in Singapore, so travellers flying in from Singapore should pack a suitable plug adapter and check the voltage rating on their own devices before plugging in.

Choosing between room options

Because The Pacific House Hostel is a hostel-format property, the options shown on Traveloka may differ in occupancy, bathroom arrangement and bed type. Before booking, open each room option and read its details carefully: confirm how many guests the rate covers, whether the bathroom is private or shared, and what the bed set-up is. In-room amenities can vary from one room option to another, so rely on the per-room description rather than assuming that every room includes the same features.

Accessible stays

The Pacific House Hostel lists a wide set of accessibility features, including wheelchair access, an accessible bathroom, a roll-in shower and Braille or raised signage, along with an elevator serving its four floors. Guests who need a specific accessible room configuration should check the room description and contact the property through the booking to confirm that the arrangement they need is available for their dates.

Facilities and Amenities

For a hostel, The Pacific House Hostel lists an unusually broad mix of shared facilities. Much of the property's character comes from its communal areas, which suit solo travellers and groups of friends who want space to relax outside their room. The facilities confirmed in Traveloka's listing data include:

  • Recreation and social spaces: a recreation room, a TV lounge, a library, a terrace and outdoor facilities
  • Games and sport: pool or snooker, karaoke, basketball and volleyball, plus entertainment for adults
  • Fitness: a fitness centre
  • Food and drink: a restaurant, a bar, a cafe and coffee shop, and a dining area
  • Connectivity: free WiFi, with WiFi available in public areas
  • Practical extras: a clothes dryer, a safety deposit box, luggage storage and bicycle storage

The services side of the listing is equally useful for travellers on the move. The Pacific House Hostel has a 24-hour receptionist and 24-hour security, express check-in and express check-out, and multilingual staff. Tours are listed among the hotel services, and car rental is listed under transportation, so the front desk is a reasonable first stop if you want help arranging a day trip out of the city.

A few things are not part of the offer. Traveloka's data shows that The Pacific House Hostel has no on-site parking, no room service and no airport transfer service. The facility list includes a smoking area, while the house rules state that smoking is prohibited inside the accommodation, so smokers should ask the front desk where smoking is permitted, if anywhere, before lighting up.

Location and Getting There

The Pacific House Hostel is located on Sir John Young Crescent in Woolloomooloo, a harbourside suburb on the eastern edge of Sydney's city centre. Woolloomooloo is one of the smaller accommodation areas in the city, and its position close to the CBD makes it a practical base for travellers who want to explore central Sydney while staying a little away from the busiest streets.

Because the listing does not publish exact walking distances to named landmarks, the most reliable way to plan your days is to drop the property's address into a map app and check live walking and public-transport times to the places you want to visit. Sydney's public transport network of trains, buses, light rail and ferries connects the inner suburbs with the rest of the city, which makes moving around without a car straightforward.

Travellers from Singapore usually arrive at Sydney Airport, the city's main international gateway, which is connected to the city centre by train, bus, taxi and rideshare. The Pacific House Hostel does not offer an airport transfer, so plan your own onward journey from the terminal. If you have not yet sorted your journey, you can search for flights from Singapore to Sydney on Traveloka and line up your arrival time with the hostel's 14:00 check-in.

There is no on-site parking at The Pacific House Hostel, so arriving by car is less convenient. If you plan to hire a car for trips outside Sydney, consider collecting it after your city stay rather than finding parking in the inner city. The listing does note bicycle storage, which is handy if you prefer to explore by bike.

For everyday needs, the listing notes several services in the vicinity, including an ATM, a supermarket and grocery shopping, laundry services, shops, a gift shop and hair and beauty salons.

Dining at The Pacific House Hostel

The Pacific House Hostel has one restaurant and one bar on site, according to Traveloka's property data, and its facility list covers breakfast, lunch and dinner service along with a cafe, a coffee shop and a dining area. This is more food-and-drink choice than many hostels provide, and it means you can start and finish the day without leaving the building.

Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 09:30, according to the property's policy. The listing describes the breakfast as continental, so expect a lighter morning spread rather than a full cooked buffet. Whether breakfast is included depends on the rate you book, so check the room option on Traveloka for the words breakfast included before you confirm.

The listing also notes that the kitchen caters to particular diets, with gluten-free meals, vegetarian meals and a dietary menu all included in the facility data. Travellers with allergies or strict dietary needs should still mention them to staff at check-in so the team can advise on what is available on the day.

Woolloomooloo and the nearby city centre also offer plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars within easy reach, so you can mix on-site meals with evenings out. To fill your days between meals, you can browse Sydney tours, attractions and activities on Traveloka and book harbour cruises, museum tickets or day trips in advance.

Why Stay at The Pacific House Hostel

The strongest reason to choose The Pacific House Hostel is the building itself. A property built in 1892 and renovated in 2022 offers a sense of place that is hard to find among Sydney's modern towers, and the listing specifically highlights its historical setting as part of the experience. For travellers who enjoy staying somewhere with character, that heritage backdrop is a real draw.

The second reason is the breadth of shared facilities. A fitness centre, a library, a TV lounge, a recreation room, pool or snooker, karaoke, a terrace and basketball and volleyball give guests plenty of ways to meet other travellers or simply unwind, while the on-site restaurant, bar and cafe cover meals from breakfast to dinner.

Finally, the location in Woolloomooloo puts guests on the doorstep of central Sydney while keeping the stay in a quieter harbourside suburb. If you would like to weigh up alternatives before you commit, you can compare other hotels and hostels in Sydney on Traveloka by area, property type and guest rating.

Tips for Booking The Pacific House Hostel on Traveloka

  1. Plan around fixed check-in and check-out times. Check-in starts at 14:00 and check-out is by 10:00. The property's policy does not allow early check-in or late check-out, so if you land in the morning, use the luggage storage and head out until your room is ready.
  2. Bring the right documents. Guests must present an ID card and a credit card at check-in, in hard copy. Travellers from Singapore should carry their passport as photo ID.
  3. Check the age rule. The minimum age to check in is 18, and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
  4. Read each room option closely. Confirm occupancy, bed type and bathroom arrangement, and look for breakfast included if you want the 07:00 to 09:30 breakfast in your rate.
  5. Leave the car behind. There is no on-site parking, so public transport or rideshare is the easier way to arrive.
  6. Arrange your own airport transfer. The property does not offer one, so plan your route from Sydney Airport in advance.
  7. Respect the house rules. Smoking is prohibited inside the accommodation and pets are not allowed.

Booking through Traveloka lets you see the live room options, the cancellation terms attached to each rate and the latest guest reviews in one place before you pay. Rates move with season and demand, especially around major Sydney events and the summer holidays, so it is worth checking a few date combinations if your plans are flexible. When you are ready to put the rest of your trip together, head to the Traveloka homepage to plan flights, stays and activities in one go.

It was not at all clear from the listing on Wotif that the room that I booked had a shared bathroom and shower facility. There were many other notes on the listing including mention of a shared kitchens, but there was nothing about there being a shared bathroom. I very rarely leave a negative review but in this case I feel compelled to. This information should have been front and center. I paid $296 for one night.

Things got stolen on two occasions. I asked the staff to check the cctv and they seemed very reluctant and then agreed to. They said where I was located was the one area they don’t have cctv. Overall I felt quite unsafe when staying there and the staff didn’t take my concerns very seriously at all, I think because they’re all travelling themselves and staying at the hostel. It doesn’t seem like there is any authority or professionalism. Other things. No towels to rent, but then saw others receiving towels from reception. No space near the bed to store things, just a tiny shelf where things felt down multiple times. Breakfast is just bread

Discriminatory reception staff. A staff member made a derogatory remark about by nationality when I was having breakfast, witnessed by the 2 people sat with me. Pathetic juvenile conduct, in breach of the Federal Racial Discrimination Act (1975) in Australia. We also had cockroaches in our ensuite bathroom.

Staff are friendly and helpful when you ask them any questions. I was only there for a weekend so didn’t get to make many friends, but the few other travelers I spoke to were nice! I stayed in the Mixed room and everyone was kind and respectful. It was just a little bit of a walk from the train station and a few minutes away from a bus stop. I felt a little older amongst the younger crowd, but it wasn’t a problem at all, it keeps the vibes fun. I was out most of the time, so this place is good for a couple of days. Do keep in mind the photos shown are of unoccupied rooms of course, occupied looks a little different of course! The Christmas in July party was already in full swing when I arrived, it looked fun!

Hostel is nice and location is good however the building is quite old. The floors creak in the bedrooms and the hallways which adds a lot of noise. The bunk beds are a weird height, if you get a bottom bunk you can’t sit up in bed which is really annoying. I enjoyed the lounge room and study area when I need some quiet time though. The beds and linen were also comfortable and I never felt cold even in winter. No towels are provided though, they’re $8

The building is beautiful. The rooms were good. I had something drop down the side of the bed and there was an old Kleenex and pop bottle there. Kinda gross. Probably doesn't get cleaned often down there . Love the vibe at breakfast. People cooking or getting toast or cereal. Lots of chatter. Great for the younger crowd.

Overall, it served the exact purpose of my stay: a clean bed in a quiet room. I only needed the bed on this trip so the bunk bed was actually comfortable. Thanks to the other three young people sharing the quiet space, I had very good rest during nights. I think your experience really depends on how you want to experience it. There were bubbly young people who enjoyed party a bit more but there were also people like myself, preferring a bit down time from busy activities in Sydney.

The location was good, the price was right and the staff was great. However, there was no AC and the bed frames were very noisy and shook quite a bit getting in and out, and if you moved at all. Also, they did not supply towels, but you could buy one for $8. As far as hostels go, I would recommend it compared to what else is out there
