Canberra YHA
Why stay in Canberra YHA:
---> I think it is the only hostel in Canberra.
---> I don't think I can find a clean, convenience for A$28 per night stay.
---> Friendly staffs.
---> You can cook because they have a full kitchen.
---> Clean and nice share bathroom.
Why not:
---> No free internet... and internet service is expensive.
---> I paid A$5.00 for a dairy luggage storage. Rates are different how many luggage you have and how long you wish to store.
Overall, I will stay here if I visit Canberra again..
If you find this tip helpful, please rate... thanks...

My 1 accomodation for Canberra
Everytime i goto Canberra I sometimes stay with my friends. if they are not in town then i stay at the YHA Canberra in Civic.
Located right in the heart of Canberra. its in walking distance to shops, bus tops, the coach terminal, Resturants, pubs & the Uni
Dorms satrt around $28 a night & privates are 70-80
Its best to book ahead cause sometimes the rooms can fill up on weekends
Theres a heated pool, Spa & sauna, Cooking faclities, a cafe & an internet room
Rooms are clean & you will be given fresh sheets.
There are lockers. to lock your stuff. =Just bring a padlock
I once let a small bag with my swimmer in an unlocked locker. When i got back it was still there
Just always carry your valuables with you
Theres a tv room up stairs & a BBQ on the roof
Unique Quality: The pool is great & so is the spa. But i must warn you. someday they can be out of action for cleaning
You can never go hungry with a vending machines on the lower level

Canberra YHA
This is possibly the worst hostel I've stayed in. The walls are paper thin which means that if the person in the adjacent room is listening to TV you can hear the program word for word. When I stayed there was also a primary school group that had booked out almost the entire hostel and thought it was acceptable to hold classes in the common areas. I would never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone that wants to get some sleep!

Canberra YHA - new city location
The YHA is no longer out in O'Connor. It's now at 7 Akuna St, in Civic. Right in the city centre.

Central
This establishment is recent and far more centrally located to the old youth hostel. The advantages are it is only a block or two away from almost anything when concerning, interstate bus terminal, supermarkets, restaurants and clubs. Canberra is very spread out so most of the city's major attractions require either bus travel or long walking tours from the Civic area.
Unique Quality: 24hour reception, internet, BBQ, indoor pool and a large modern kitchen, always a good sign and laundry facilities. There is a wide choice of accommodation options here ranging from dorns to large double rooms with balcony. The privately run cafe, off the kitchen area, does an excellent breakfast at a discounted price for YHA guests. Also there is a bar located in the basement of the building. Traffic noise on a weekend is a bit of a problem for light sleepers.

well worth the money
We stayed at the youth hostel and it was great. The place was large and well kept up, the people were nice, the rooms only held about 4 people, so they were a little more private than some hostels I've been in (in fact, my friend and I had the room to ourselves), and it was cheap.
The only negatives (and they weren't even that bad) were: 1) it was a bit out of town - about a 30 minute walk; and 2) they lock up the tv room around 11pm -- which means that the last hope for something to do that far out at 11pm is taken away. Not the worst thing in the world, certainly, but just be warned! Time to bring out the cards/books/conversation skills. ;)
Unique Quality: In addition to a beautiful balcony, it has the standard youth hostel stuff: kitchen, laundry facilities, common room, lots of travel info. I was impressed at the size and comfort of the common areas. Many hostels I've been in have small and/or uncomfortable common rooms, but this wasn't the case here.
There is a bus route within a couple blocks although buses aren't that frequent - hourly, if I remember correctly.

There is plenty of budget...
There is plenty of budget accommodation in Canberra. If you have a car then you can stay almost anywhere. The YHA is good although it is a long way out if you are using public transport. They do offer a free pick-up service from the bus terminal if you phone ahead. Check the Canberra tourism web site for current prices.
Hostel style about $20-30 per person for twin. Less for dormitory. B&B 's tend to be around $70-100 per double.
