3 night solo trip
It was my first time staying in a shared dorm, so i was hesitant at first. The YHA exceeded my expectations. Staff were friendly. Facilities were great. The bed was comfy, room clean, bathroom spacious and clean also. I had friendly room mates. There is also a reading light and plugpoint next to each bed. Spacious lockers also with a charging point in them. The location is very convenient, but i found it difficult to walk to the hotel with my baggage from Wynyard station because it is uphill. So i took a short uber ride from the station to the hotel which was fine. Going back to the station was easier because it was downhill. If you are carrying big luggage, take an uber to/from the nearest station. The place itself is easy to find and access is easy.

Perfect location for a quick weekend visit
Perfect location and price for a quick weekend getaway to see the main sites of Sydney. Less than 10min walk to Circular Quay which is the gateway to access to ferries, trains and sights of the bridge and opera house. Lots of great food options around also.

Great Value for Money
Booked a King Room for our visiting grandson. He was delighted with everything. It was a perfect location and his view was infinitely superior to our own nearby 5* Hotel. We met him on arrival; staff were warm and friendly and there seemed to be every facility available for budget travellers of all ages.

Great location & views from the top bar area. Staff were friendly. However the room was very basic. I realise it’s an upscale backpackers, but the aircon was terrible. We all slept on top of the beds sweating all night. Beds are typical of cheap accommodation (uncomfortable with a joke for a pillow) you get what you pay for I guess.

Great
Pros - rooftop bar and view of bridge and opera house. - clean comfy room. - TV with Netflix etc. - great well equipped kitchen to self cook. - easy location to go anywhere in Sydney. Cons - AC can’t be controlled so was a bit cold. - lift a bit dodgy so had to use stairs but only 4 floors.
