Loved YHA Sydney! My husband and our 2 kids (ages 13 and 10) had a wonderful stay. The common area with tables and booths was so awesome. Great natural light pours in. Breakfast was great. Love the community feel of this place. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Great location in The Rocks! I hope I get to return to Sydney. I would absolutely stay at YHA again.

We had a great stay here in December. The room was clean, as well as the entire facility. The continental breakfast was a great way to start the day. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed meals there, especially the wonderful Christmas Eve dinner they offered, it was such a fun evening. The location was great, and the rooftop area was such a bonus to have, it has a great view! We would highly recommend staying here.

Perfect location in the city for 1st time visitors who like to walk. Was 10-minutes from BridgeClimb, HOHO Bus, HOHO Boat, and Cruise Terminal. Room was simple but very clean, and staff very friendly. Would stay there again. NOTE: If taking the train from Airport to hotel, get off at Wynyard stop, NOT Circular Quay. There is a significant elevation change between both stops, which will be very noticeable if hauling a lot of luggage.
