The location is 5 star. Right in the historical part of The Rocks in Sydney. The view from the deck is incredible. Very relaxed all ages Hostel. We had a room with a double and single, with private bathroom. Very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, lots of fridge & pantry space. Free filtered water. Lots of places to relax. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Sydney. For me holidays are all about location and the YHA has it all. Can't wait to go again.
Stayed for first 4 nights whilst visiting Australia. Chose the hotel as it is in a decent location, ( 5 min walk to Circ Quay, plus easy for Rocks, Darling, central area for Hyde Park etc), reasonable cost and the fact they allowed early arrivals into your booked room - availability allowing. We arrived at 7am after a 26 hour flight - and our room (7th floor) was available - allowing us to grab a few hours kip. We didn’t realise that it overlooked Australia Square, which is lively & loud Mon - Fri.. Not a problem on the first night as we’re so tired. The following day we asked if we could be moved, not a problem, we were moved to a quieter room (14th floor) & upgraded at no additional cost. The room was lovely - as were the breakfast’s each morning. I cannot fault the quality of the hotel, cleanliness, friendliness and willingness to help by all the staff. Would I return? Most definitely. 😁
