First hostel stay

I did not look up YHA before going to Sydney, Australia so I had no idea I had booked a hostel. We did have a private room and bath. Room was spacious and clean. There was no refrigerator in the room, but again; I did not know it was a hostel. Plenty of power outlets. Staff were friendly and VERY helpful. Location was great- easy walk to Sydney opera house and bridge. Beautiful views from the rooftop bar. Did not eat breakfast, but it looked very nice. Did not use the kitchen facilities or cafe. I was very pleased with the entire stay and would recommend as well as stay again.

Visited with 2 young children. Staff were friendly, the place was clean and convenient. Easy walk to circular quay/opera house as well as darling harbour area. Beautiful and fantastic location. The breakfast was simple but there was lots to eat, although no protein options other than yogurt.

Room set up was great. The room temperature was freezing (57 F) and it took 2 days to get the staff to turn up the temperature. A little pricey for a hostel but the place was a safe, clean and had a wonderful rooftop deck with a view.

great location. Great people. Super friendly staff kudos to Oscar at the rooftop bar. I think since it’s a hostel. Best to inform other tenants to ensure that they are not making loud noises late at night. Other than that all is great
