25.01.2022 We are pleased to announce our partnership with Zambrero on Oxford street. Just flash your Downing hostel lanyard and you get a cool 10% off the food menu! Zambrero are a mexican based takeaway place that's doing it right. For every meal they sell they give one to the homeless. So head on down and show them some Downing love.

18.01.2022 Throwback to SydNYE! Sydney's beauty has once more exhibited itself on last year's New Year's Eve, with Sydney being one of the first places in the world to pass 12 at night (If only there weren't New Zealand and some small islands). It was stunning to see the fireworks live, with millions watching them on TV worldwide. Yet if you are a visitor to Sydney and perhaps missed them or don't know Sydney's fireworks are among the most impressive existing, you can watch them again... below. If you are still looking forward to your stay at The Downing Hostel in Sydney, this video will be helping you to make you look forward even more to your visit to Sydney and The Downing Hostel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnxbTT8-b7o

12.01.2022 Freebie Friday 05; Good Morning Downing Hostel! It's that time of the week where we post activities that anyone making that dollar stretch will love. That's right - it's Freebie Friday time! This week the post will contain two events; both music based and both containing FREE entry.... First is the Rooftop Fiesta that took place yesterday and also takes place today from 4:00pm to 10:00pm at the Greenwood Plaza Rooftop. There will be pop-up food stalls and bars as well as a full Latina Band. A link containing all the details will be posted below. Second is ShoreShocked which takes place this Saturday April 1st from 11:00am to 5:00pm at St.Leonard's Park in Ryde. This event is an all-ages event and is drug, alcohol and smoke free. I know for some this may be a bit of a downer, but, everyone has their cup of tea and even with the restrictions the music alone is definitely worth checking out - especially with this being held during Youth Week Celebrations. Again, a link containing all the details will be posted below. https://www.facebook.com/events/1808844132701370/ & http://www.ryde.nsw.gov.au/Events/Listing/Shoreshocked2017 We hope you enjoyed this edition of Freebie Friday; and if it has been of any use to you - please, let us know! Or, if you know of any other amazing free events, send them to us via message - staying in touch with past and current friends/guests is something we pride ourselves on! The Downing Staff.

08.01.2022 Freebie Friday 04; Hey Downing Peeps, it's time for another Freebie Friday Post, and this one you're gonna just love! Every Tuesday at Soda Factory is one of Sydney's best, and cheapest, food deals known as Dollar Dogs. Featuring, you guessed it, hot dogs for the insane price of only $1! ... The menu features some pretty fancy dogs and of course, offers FREE entry. But; next Tuesday April 4th is even more exciting. Why you ask? Well, that's because on top of their $1 hot dogs there will also be a DJ on taking ANY of your crazed music requests and those with the best and worst suggestions will win a $50 bar tab! Insane, right? We thought so too. A link to the website with all info, as well as the hot dog menu, will be listed below. Also, with this week's post we want to try something a little different - if you go on Tueaday to Soda Factory, snap a photo and send it our way, we wanna know which dog you thought was the best! See you there, The Downing Hostel http://www.sodafactory.com.au/uncategor/so-wrong-its-right/

05.01.2022 INTERESTING FACTS AND FIGURES ABOUT SYDNEY WHY NOT MAKE A TRIVIA? Here's a compilation of the most salient and interesting facts of the city of Sydney and its historical background. With this knowledge you can brag in front of your mates next time you meet them ;)... Or what about creating a trivia game that you can play with your friends, and making questions like ''Who was Sydney named after?'' and "What's another well-known name of the Harbour Bridge?" http://www.bordersofadventure.com/10-interesting-and-rando/

04.01.2022 ON HOW TO EXPLORE SYDNEY - BY BUS, ON FOOT and BY TRAIN :) 1. SYDNEY'S HOP-ON HOP-OFF BUS Travel across Sydney from $45 only!... Whether for the more active among you or those who just want to feel comfy sitting in a bus and enjoying Sydney's highlights - the HOP-ON HOP-OFF BUS is always a good choice! The HOP-ON HOP-OFF BUS is suitable for everyone of all ages, because impressions stay impressions independent of age. To book a tour, click here: http://www.sydney.com.au/hop-on-hop-off-bus-tour-sydney-bon 2. ON FOOT Of course, going on foot is the classic way of exploring Sydney if you have more than one or two days to spend in this fabulous city. It's the perfect choice for you to see the attractions near our hostel, such as the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. 3. BY BUS However, to get to more far-off yet still local places such as Glebe Markets or Bondi Beach, it is recommended to take the bus using the huge infrastructure implemented in Sydney. Buses operate very frequently and at any time of the day until late in the evening except during the night. The bus fares are usually quite low. Nevertheless, as an insiders' tip, we recommend you ride a long distance at once rather than hoping on and hoping off buses, e. g. changing buses several times, as this will turn out cheaper for you. 4. BY TRAIN If you plan to go to far-away locations outside of Sydney, e. g. to the Blue Mountains, OR as an alternative to travelling by bus within the city, opt for the train. 5. BY TAXI Ok, let's be straightforward: this is not quite a cheap way of exploring Sydney. In fact, this is the most expensive way of doing so. If you have any further questions on how to get somewhere most conveniently, just see staff. We are always happy to help. The Downing Hostel
