The place is OKAY for the price (about AU$30 per night for a dorm). The location is in the center of town; which is a plus. However, for the same price (or LESS) you are best to stay at the YHA Harbour location (its brand new...and way better). If you go to the book in YHA Harbour location be sure... More

The bed was comfortable so I was able to get a good night sleep. The ladies bathroom was just across the hallway and... More

Sydney Central YHA is a good quality hostel with few things to complain about. The only bad thing is that food tends to get stolen, but that's not really the hostels fault in any way. The rooms big enough and mostly very clean. There are two kitchens which are in pretty good conditions (always lots of fridge space!!). The location... More

If you're on a budget and not keen to share, this is probably the cheapest option in central Sydney! you can save up to 50% compared to standard hotels within the same area. I booked mine for AUD 110/night (please check website for latest rates) Next to the Sydney central station - it provides you access to everything and everywhere... More

Stayed here for 3 nights, in a 4 bed dorm (all male). - Fantastic location, right next to the station and a pleasant walk to the CBD/Opera House etc. - Staff were efficient and courteous, they're busy but I observed them answering lots of questions well :) - Both dorm and all common rooms were clean, tidy and well decorated....

Nice hostel but pricy for backpackers trying to save money. Comfortable couches and beds, clean, big kitchens, tv rooms and a cinema, expensive wifi but free in cafe next door. Helpful enough staff and great organized activities. More
