Loved YHA Sydney! My husband and our 2 kids (ages 13 and 10) had a wonderful stay. The common area with tables and booths was so awesome. Great natural light pours in. Breakfast was great. Love the community feel of this place. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Great location in The Rocks! I hope I get to return to Sydney. I would absolutely stay at YHA again.
