Great location for access to walk all of The Rocks.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hostel is in the best location imaginable with walking distance to the Opera house, train station that can take you all the way from/to the airport, harbor with big cruise and small local ships and stunning views from the rooftop bar/eating area. It also has a historical value with the archaeological ruins underneath with see through floor to explore. Next door is archaeological educational center as well. Nice common kitchen with everything you need to cook, store, and keep cold. Big common dinning area with booths to work on a computer too.

Clean and budget friendly place to stay!
We had a great stay! The private room we had was simple but clean. Perfect for our family of 3 to stay in comfortably. The open shared kitchen and dining area were clean and nice to utilize. The roof top view of the harbour was amazing! The location was super convenient and easy to walk to access public transportation and popular sites to see. We felt very safe in the area as well. Staff were friendly and helpful! Definitely would book again if we get the chance to return to Sydney!

10/10 Exceptional

Clean but minimalist.
The room was very well maintained. I could have used a luggage stand for my large suit case. I could have used a small towel for showering and wash my face.

Great location for a few days in Sydney
Great location, very close to the rocks, view of the opera house from the roof top terrace. Had a little issue with the first room (guest not obeying house rules) but was moved to a different room immediately. Friendly staff.

The Rocks YHA in particular, is fantastic, with very helpful staff (highly knowledgeable about things to do, costs and timetables of transit), great options, great views and clean, comfortable, straightforward accommodations! The YHA system in Australia is second to none! Well done Australia!

The hotel was built on an archeological site visible through the passage to the reception, cafeteria, and the rooms. The hotel modern, simply clean and functional, having a terrace with fantastic view to the Opera House and the surrounding downtown skyscrapers.

Pricey for a basic room - obvs paying for location in The Rocks. Lots of stairs to navigate in the area, but with that in mind it is close to ferries, Opera House.
Lois, 5-night trip

Close to Tower Clock parking and walkable distance to Opera House. 24 hour coffee shop albeit I did have to wait about 20 minutes to be served 😊

Jessica, 1-night trip

Location and view from rooftop were outstanding! Top bunk bed was difficult to navigate, so we ended up putting it on the floor. Staff was very accommodating. Highly recommend.
Cindi, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is relatively new and clean. The staff were friendly. There are no toiletries apart from a bath soap. Although the facilities were clean, the only reason I gave three stars was because there were some school kids who were part of a camp who stayed above and below our room and there was absolutely no peace and quiet
