While the staff were very kind, the quality of our stay was quite low. Unfortunately there were quite a few issues with our hotel. Issues were as follows: Toilet smelt terrible and made whole bathroom smell quite rotten. It smelt like a public toilet that hadnt been cleaned in a long time. Toilet brush was broken so couldn’t be used. Shower head was broken and sprayed across the whole bathroom. Shower curtian was either mouldy or still dirty, was hard to tell as there were brown splatters across it. No cooling in the room so got very hot and had to leave the window open which let in mosquitoes and a lot of the city noise. Room was lacking, one chair, small table, no mini fridge or anything. Wasnt really 2 user friendly. All in all it was a disappointing stay, especial for the money we paid.

Excellent stay
This was an excellent choice for my first time in a shared accommodation setting as a solo female traveler. Everything was clean and the staff was always friendly. The only thing that could be improved on is the breakfast bar. The value, options, and variety were good, but there was no protein options at all. Something simple like scrambled eggs would be a great addition.

YHA Sydney was a great place to stay. We didn’t really have any expectations but were pleasantly surprised to find we had a full view of the Sydney Opera House from our room window! The rooftop is spectacular with views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Sydney’s center. The breakfast was good. The staff helped in every area. The room itself was clean and comfortable. We definitely recommend this hotel John and Candace

Great, easy accommodation for what we needed. Breakfast available if needed that to, but close to everything so easy to walk or catch public transport. Only thing it was not easy to park my car, having to pay daily, which was not ideal. So if you don't have a car, it's perfect for you.
