10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very courteous and helpful. For the price and location of the hotel, this is a super value. The location is in the heart of the Rocks and walking distance to Sydney Harbor as well as to Circular Quay transit central. The room was clean and the rooftop view was unbeatable. The hotel provides kitchen and food sharing options. We love the idea! Will definitely recommend this hotel for any family traveling on a budget.

Katrina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

First hostel stay

I did not look up YHA before going to Sydney, Australia so I had no idea I had booked a hostel. We did have a private room and bath. Room was spacious and clean. There was no refrigerator in the room, but again; I did not know it was a hostel. Plenty of power outlets. Staff were friendly and VERY helpful. Location was great- easy walk to Sydney opera house and bridge. Beautiful views from the rooftop bar. Did not eat breakfast, but it looked very nice. Did not use the kitchen facilities or cafe. I was very pleased with the entire stay and would recommend as well as stay again.

Room set up was great. The room temperature was freezing (57 F) and it took 2 days to get the staff to turn up the temperature. A little pricey for a hostel but the place was a safe, clean and had a wonderful rooftop deck with a view.
