Room was clean and comfortable enough, but pretty basic, and the television seemed to have only four working channels. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was small but in good condition. Really convenient location, but a bit noisy inside and outside. OK, for a quick stay.

Everything, the location, right next to central station, easy to walk everywhere in CBD, to Circular Key, Darling Harbour Star City Casino, Lyric and Entertainment theatres/centers etc. Love the lockers in room and also behind reception before and after your stay on checkin/out day to store your bags, so you can walk around without bags. Have stayed at Sydney YHA many times.

Found several cockroaches during my 5 days stay and room trash didn’t get cleaned out for days. The fan did help cause the air conditioning wasn’t on but the location and staff were amasing.

Pleasant stay

Efficient and friendly check in, room was quiet, clean, and modern. Bathrooms at time of use were clean, shower pressure could be more powerful, but not a dealbreaker, enjoyed my stay.

Centrally located to Chinatown and lots of attractions in downtown Sydney. We loved the location. Bed linens where very clean, carpet and hallways could’ve used a little touchup. Great experience staying here.
