Yha Sydney Central

Unclaimed

The YHA central has a great location, right next to light rail, bus stops, and central station. You get what you pay for, rooms aren’t special depending on what you pick. I had a 4 person bunk dorm. It was good enough. Toilets are a bit small, showers are decent. Again, you get what you pay for. The best part is definitely the location, you can get to anywhere and walking around the area is fun too. Though the breakfast that you can pay a bit extra for is limited, it’s not the most expensive either.

My son and I have stayed here twice now. We get the king room with ensuit. The room is huge and very clean. The bed is nice and big and very comfy. The bathroom is plenty big enough and also very clean. The view from the roof is pretty, especially of a night time. All the staff have always been very friendly and helpful. It's right across the road from Central Station. and the light rail is right out the front. Easy access to all types of public transport, cafes, shops, and restaurants are all at your fingertips. It's a great place to stay. I have felt safe both times staying there. I have a third booking to stay there again already. Great place.

It is definitely a hostel with a higher standard than the standard hostels found in the world. The beds are solid and you can't feel the person moving above/below. There are a lot of common areas, it is also clean and the service is nice. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for the entire period (1 week) of my stay, so I don't know if they open it at all. It's a bit of a shame, because that was what convinced me to stay here. Another minus is the quite long waiting time for the elevator - theoretically there are fire stairs, but you can't use them to go to every floor, which is a bit pointless, because making the stairs available would probably ease the crowds in the elevators. Apart from that, everything was great and I absolutely recommend it! PS. The breakfast is totally not worth the 14 dollars. The only plus is the delicious yogurt, but apart from that there are cereals, toast and croissants. Very basic and it's probably better to spend it on a real breakfast in town.

Great location for travellers wanting to explore Sydney without the hefty price tag. The building has a fun, youthful vibe with plenty of shared spaces and activities. Rooms are basic but clean and comfortable and the rooftop area is a nice bonus. Staff were helpful and welcoming. A solid choice for budget-conscious travellers.
