Wow, both the Harbour Bridge and Opera House in view from our window! Fabulous location, rooftop bar was a great venue to catch up with friends or to enjoy heap eats. Staff were excellent, friendly and professional. Will stay next time in Sydney Anne will recommend to friends and family.

Top notch hostel. Modern, clean, linens all included, lovely staff. On the quieter side. Not a party hostel and fewer hostel organized activities, but still social enough if you want. Really lovely rooftop bar/patio.

I was refused check-in despite having physical ID card from the UK. I had to scramble to find a place to stay at 1am at night. I had travelled domestically from Gold Coast to Sydney. So I had not carried my passport as it's not asked in domestic flights either. The hostel manager remained adamant that he will only accept passport and no other ID card. I called central YHA helpline and they told me that they do accept physical ID cards from other countries. But the manager still refused entry.

An incredible place, truly close to everything, right in the heart of The Rocks, with a stunning view of the Opera House. The rooftop bar is amazing, and there was live music on both Friday and Saturday.
