As an older traveling couple, we had never stayed at a hostel before. This was truly a great experience for us. We actually had our own room with its own private bath. The room was simple and clean, basic bed linens, no wall decor, updated bathroom, shampoo and bodywash was provided. Water pressure at the shower was awesome. We stayed on the 3rd floor which was the rooftop. And the view from the rooftop bar was amazing: the opera house, the harbor bridge, the downtown skyline, amazing! Location was great, walkable to shops, restaurants, the bridge, the opera house, downtown. This was a convenient location especially as we had a cruise booked afterwards. The cruise terminal was a short 10 minute walk. Thank you Sydney Harbor hotel for an amazing experience. If we are back in Sydney, we hope to stay with you again.

We loved the upper patio for a beautiful location day and nite. We lived the historical aspect of this property and the nearby archeological dig ongoing. We lived the handiness of the laundry and walk to the city ferry depot. Fantastic to say the least!

Really loved our stay here. We're planning to stay here again when in Sydney. Rooms are very clean with a great view! Loved the rooftop and morning sun. The only thing to note is that if you are staying on the 3rd floor, some rooms are on the end where you'll need to take a few steps down and is a bit challenging when you have heavy luggage.

The morning buffet was very poor, kept clean but limited items on it. The place was great and easy for walking down the steps to the rocks. The upper bar on the roof was with a beautiful view of the opera house , harper bridge.

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.
