I wouldn't normally post this, as most members probably aren't interested in a Hostel type accomodation. However, it might have some appeal to the younger crowd or those on a tight budget. And since we now have this forum, I thought I'd share.

A bit of background, I'm going to Sydney next week, and was trying to find some reasonably priced accomodations. I always check Travelocity, as they often have some good prices, and since I've a Travelocity Preferred member, I can get an extra $10 off each booking.

When I sorted by price, I came up with a 2 star youth hotel/hostel. It came up for a single room for only $14.29. Now, with my discount, it's only $4.29 (Use promo code HTL10). I'm not sure if this fare is a mistake, as it's a single room that is the cheapest, and not a shared 6 person room. It does have a shared bathroom, however.

Book one night at a time to get the $10 off each stay. Very minimal taxes/fees so this won't effect much.

The normal rate for a single room is $37.61. They also have a free shuttle option from the airport (but not to), with 3 nights booking. I'm not clear if a Travelocity booking would quality, though.
