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.
Allison, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location, clean and comfortable room, lovely rooftop areas with beautiful views over Sydney Harbour… I would definitely recommend this place!
Megan, 4-night trip

YHA feedback

great location. Great people. Super friendly staff kudos to Oscar at the rooftop bar. I think since it’s a hostel. Best to inform other tenants to ensure that they are not making loud noises late at night. Other than that all is great

The location is excellent, walking distance of the most iconic places. The personnel was very kind and helpful. Very friendly environment for a very diverse people from families, young students and more mature ones. Very interesting concept of a shared kitchen. We were very igratefully mpressed by the ECO effort that the place practice.

Can’t beat the location price. Rooftop bar was great, had early luggage storage and had a quick shower before checkin. Definitely can get loud warm in summer.

Great location for a few days in Sydney

Great location, very close to the rocks, view of the opera house from the roof top terrace. Had a little issue with the first room (guest not obeying house rules) but was moved to a different room immediately. Friendly staff.

Clean and budget friendly place to stay!

We had a great stay! The private room we had was simple but clean. Perfect for our family of 3 to stay in comfortably. The open shared kitchen and dining area were clean and nice to utilize. The roof top view of the harbour was amazing! The location was super convenient and easy to walk to access public transportation and popular sites to see. We felt very safe in the area as well. Staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely would book again if we get the chance to return to Sydney!
