ok, this isn't a "hostel" it's a hotel. If you're willing to pay a bit more to treat yourself it's well worth it. Really enjoyed my stay here. Stayed 9 days while exploring the area. Staff was absolutely incredible-friendly, efficient, attentive, helpful, on and on. The staff went way beyond what would be expected to help make our stay enjoyable.

I stayed in this hostel twice last year and couldn't fault any part of it. I agree with another review that it can be hard to find at first, after a long flight I decided to take a taxi from circular quay station instead of wandering around. This wasn't a problem again as it is within walking v distance of... More

Stayed for four nights at this hostel, which is located right smack in The Rocks area, and has a very good location in Circular Quay. Facilities-wise, I would say top notch for hostel standard. If you don't really value privacy (I spent the bulk of my days touring outside), go for this hostel, instead of a budget hotel...Rooms are clean... More

I stayed here for two nights with my two teens and we couldn't have been happier. The cool archeological dig atmosphere was awesome...we loved reading about the area and seeing the excavated areas. The main lounge/kitchen area is bright, well furnished and a great spot for hanging out. Fast, cheap wifi throughout, even in the rooms. Staff was terrific --... More

YHA Sydney was our first ever Hostel experience. It was the best way to ease into hoteslling! It was clean, new, trendy and perfectly located steps from Circle Quay and the Opera House. You cannot beat the location and price of YHA, and the rooftop patio was actually one of our highlights of being in Sydney. It's just a perfect... More
