Friends stayed&recommended here for obvious reasons - central location and comes with YHA minimum standards. We stayed in a double ensuite room for one week and found the room to be of a poor standard in comparison to ever other YHA hostel we stayed in,during our trip to Oz. It may be the case that we had the bad luck... more

Great kitchen with abundent supplies and fridge room. The rooms and bathrooms are also very clean. Rigth by the central station so you can get anywhere in town easily by metro. I really liked this experience. more

I stayed at this hostel for two weeks while I was completing an internship in Surry Hills - initially I chose it because it was a 20min walk to the office!

My second visit to Sydney, we travelled here from Melbourne by train this time round. It took us barely 5min to walk here from the Railway station. We opted for a 4-male shared bunk, which cost AUD35/person/night. It feels safe here as security measures are well taken care of. The bathrooms are sparkling clean. There’s also a swimming pool on... more

YHA is a good place for backpacker but you shouldn't choose it for a couple/ family traveling together. I just had a 12 day trip in Australia and stayed in YHA Sydeny central, YHA Perth in double private rooms. Most of the double private rooms are in front of Male/ Female toilet rooms and they are not sound proof so... more
