It was a wonderful experience. Excellent youth hostel. The view of the Sydney opera house is unrivaled. Ive stayed in sydneys youth accommodation for the first time. Many amiable foreigners and new acquaintances were made.

My group mistakenly assumed to be kelly, kail, or kale at the rooftop bar was amazing. He is an excellent addition to this hostel and the surrounding area, was very knowledgeable about the area and went above and beyond for customer service. Made the trip more personable and made us feel welcome in a country we hadnt visited before!.

This is the best youth hostel in sydney, and it offers affordable lodging. Situated in the rocks area, it provides easy access to various attractions, as well as the opera house can be seen from the balcony.

I was looking for a place to stay in the city, but this hotel is not suitable for my needs. The receptionist gave me 0 stars. They have eobseoul facilities and staff. I cant speak english well.

The location is great, all landmarks in the rocks are within walking distance. But breakfast is more suitable for europeans and americans - cold food. Except for the price is a bit expensive and the front desk is warm to foreigners and cold to china, everything else is good.

A fantastic youth hostel. I decided to stay here for one night on the spur of the moment while visiting Sydney. The view is breathtaking, with views of both the harbor bridge and the opera house in Sydney from the terrace. It is well worth the night to enjoy this vista.

I adored this location! My mother had never been to a hostel before, and she loved it. It was spotless, roomy, with incredibly nice common area. Most importantly, the personnel was outstanding! Tomas from china and ut from Thailand stand out to me in particular. They made the hostel feel like home. I appreciated their friendliness, as did their compassion for us. Additionally, i would like to point out that seeing dozens of employees made me happy. Tomata was able to connect with because my mother only speaks english. He was like being at home at the hotel. We needed his vibrant personality and welcoming latin energy. While on vacation, it was nice to feel secure and caring place to call home thanks to his lively personality. Finding this hostel made our first trip to australia enjoyable.

I stayed in a shared room with four women in bunk beds for four nights. I would stay there again. Excellent location, lots of interesting things within walking distance, as well as some green spaces that i need to access in cities. As it is flat and has no stairs and is oriented straight up york before cumberland sits, ive advised taking yonyard station. If you want to explore the rocks locally, be aware that there are many stairs to climb, but its worth it. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the facilities are wellorganized. Rooftop space is ideal for outdoor living. Taco and bbq nights are excellent social gathering spots for solo travelers. Wellorganized kitchen amenities. Aboriginal city tour is recommended.

The private rooms are really nice, the air conditioning works well, and the prices are reasonable. However, be aware that if you pay extra for views of the harbor, cruise ships in port may block the opera house during the day.

The location was ideal. Great harbor view, close to shops, and fairly close proximity to attractions. Not to mention, the rooftop offered a great photo opportunity. The service was excellent, not much else to say here. This place was the jam for yha central for backpackers. I visited here ten years ago while attending sabbatical for the same reason as the Yha center. It was incredibly enjoyable. Although the rooms were small, they were comfortable beds and the bathroom was decent. There was only one issue the water was somewhat cold and there was flooding in the toilet, but other than that, everything was fine.

The hotel is spotless, and the kitchen provided is immaculate. Depending on your preference for a traditional breakfast, the breakfast offers good value for the money. Its quite handy to have en suite bathrooms. Unfortunately, to purchase fresh ingredients, you must visit chinatown or the hay market.

This hostel has the ambiance of a luxury hotel! The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. It boasts idly designed taverns and bridges, as well as dazzling cafes with spacious kitchens or dining areas. The rooftop patio offers views of the opera house and pontifical bridge as an added bonus. We felt quite comfortable here because people of all ages stay here.

The lounge is spacious and comfortable, which is the main advantage. After checking out, you can store your luggage. The location is excellent, however, it can be a little risky late at night due to its alley location.

The hostel boasts a prime location and is impeccably clean, with exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff. The lobby and kitchen area are spacious, making it easy to make new friends. Both the bathrooms and the air conditioning in the room were impervious to maintenance. I particularly appreciated the large lockers in each room and how frequently housekeeping checked in. Additionally, the rooftop bar area was ideal for socializing and practicing morning yoga. Without limiting my experience, i highly recommend staying here!.

I heartily endorse this hostel to anyone seeking a pleasant location in the area. The exceptional experience i had during my threenight stay in secluded accommodation at this hotel was delightfully surprised. I had no idea what to anticipate as he was attempting to find etiquette for my first visit, but this place far exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was the room clean and comfortable, it was also incredibly quiet, allowing for reslumber. You can see the fireworks display from your room, which has sweeping views of the opera house. From the comfort of your apartment, you can view the fireworks display. It is possible to say with confidence that the view from the hostels rooftop is nothing short of breathtaking. Additionally, the staff was extremely friendly and always willing to assist, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The rooftop bar and terrace overlooking circular quay are fantastic. And then, the location is perfect, very clean. After that, they served delicious food and coffee. Subsequently, their bed was comfortable.

This is a fantastic youth hostel with hotelquality lodging in excellent en suite rooms. Excellent bathrooms and comfortable beds. The view, though. Straight across the harbor to Sydney opera house. Amazing. There is also supper on the evenings and bbq on top of the wonderful roof terrace with breathtaking views.

The price is very affordable for a place to stay in the rock area of sydney. The room was clean and fresh with i great views of the opera house. Also, the continental breakfast was cheap and had tasty options. If you are interested in history as well, this is the perfect place.
