Kensington College Backpackers
Kensington College Backpackers on Augusta Avenue at the north end of Kensington Market has got some serious competition from the nearby and newer Planet Traveler, but a renovation a few years ago makes it a viable alternative for those looking to stay near the action of Kensington Market. With 140 total beds, this is one of the larger hostels in the city, and comes with amenities like free WiFi, cable TV, and on-site laundry facilities. Prices range from $26 (dorm) to $90 (private room, two beds).
