  • 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.

  • Directions: Manuka and Kingston are both good choices because of their proximity to the sites and the choice of dining options.

    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.

    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.

  • 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. ;)

    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.
