This a great budget place to stay right near central station. Yes, its not luxurious but its all you need. They provided free breakfast too which was nice, although we were out too early to enjoy it. I would recommend for a budget stay.

I stayed 3 days in a small room in backpacker hostel, shared bathroom, 2 bunks. It's pretty much what it says on the label. It's a hostel, so bring your own soap - and towel (or they'll rent you one). It has - Great AC Free breakfast. Free wifi. That good hostel vibe 15 minutes walk from ICC Darling Harbour, through interesting streets - Chinatown etc. It was quiet except for the rumble of trams. One thing - the address (790 George) is out side a convenience store who have no idea where the hostel is. Your have to go around the corner to Haymarket st to get in. Would I go back? Probably.
