present evidence of their whereabouts over the past 14 days prior to check-in
to further ensure the safety of all guests and staff on the premises. Big

The hostel also boasts a large rooftop
terrace with a sun deck, perfect for relaxing on a sunny afternoon or for
socialising in the evening. At BIG we pride ourselves on making our guests feel

9am and store your bags with us until check-in. Being only a few minutes walk
from Central Station, you can arrive quickly from the airport within 20 minutes
and enjoy your day! We offer a later check-out than most hostels (11am) and
free luggage storage after checkout. Departing guests are welcome to use the
kitchen and lounge facilities for the day.
The rooms
at BIG are a selection of mixed male-only and female-only 8, 6, 2 share dormitories,
plus a large range of private rooms (singles, twins, doubles and 4 person family rooms), most with private bathrooms. The building is fully
air-conditioned throughout and each floor is serviced by both an elevator and
stairs. We take security seriously so the hostel is only accessible by key
overnight and CC TV cameras are throughout the common areas of the building. So
come and enjoy BIG, the perfect 'home away from home' for your stay in Sydney!
