Thad's Boutique Hostel

Forget dodgy backpackers’ hostels, Thad's Boutique Hostel looks more like a hipster hang than somewhere to rest your head from $44 a night in an eight-bed dorm. From free WiFi to a chill lounge space and a 60-seater casual bistro serving up more than just your regular white toast and eggs, this trendy hostel brands itself as a ‘sociatel’ and is all about helping hostel guests expand their social circle though COO Connect, a digital interest matching tool that connects like-minded travellers.
