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.

The staff were very courteous and helpful. For the price and location of the hotel, this is a super value. The location is in the heart of the Rocks and walking distance to Sydney Harbor as well as to Circular Quay transit central. The room was clean and the rooftop view was unbeatable. The hotel provides kitchen and food sharing options. We love the idea! Will definitely recommend this hotel for any family traveling on a budget.

Absolutely loved my stay at YHA Sydney Harbour! The location couldn’t be better — right in The Rocks, just a short walk to trains, buses, and trams, and so close to the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The place is spotless, with super clean rooms and common areas. The staff are friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. I really liked the kitchens — fully equipped and perfect for cooking whatever you want, which made it feel just like home. And the rooftop view… wow! It’s simply breathtaking, with the Harbour Bridge and Opera House right in front of you. I’ll definitely be coming back here next time I’m in Sydney. Highly recommend it!

The room was small and utilitarian, but clean and safe. The breakfast was pretty great. The location was wonderful, although lots of stairs up and down to thw Circular Quat area where the ferrys run. We loved our stay at the YHA (Youth Hostile Association?) Due to how close it was to everything. The roof top bar had a great view of the Sydney Operah House (except when the cruise ship was at port and blocked the view), thw harbor, and the bridge. The ataff was super nice and helpful. The hotel (hostel) is built on an archeological dig, which is pretty cool. There is a "free" (they ask for tips which were well worth it and no pressure) ghost tour every evening that was really enjoyable. We.would definitely come back. The proce is pretty outrageous for a hostile, but for the location it was worth it compared to other hotels in the area. 8 of us stayed in 2 rooms pretty comfortably. They even have a kitchen and fridges that you can store and prepare your own food if you want. They also had a free baggage storage service after we checked out for thw afternoon before we left.
