I liked the view from the room, the dinners and the bars tour. The employees were friendly and very helpful. It is safe and perfectly located.

This is probably the best YHA location in the world! You could not be better placed in Sydney to access public transport of any type. Great staff, brilliant views - BOOK EARLY.

Greg

Australia

The location and the fact that the facility is used to educate young Australians about their history, It is built over an exposed archaeological dig, and many artifacts recovered are displayed on premise. Four really nice kitchens, but the small grocery next door doesn't really have provisions, per se. The roof-top lounge is huge, with great views and comfortable patio furniture and even a gas grill.

Not a good architectural interior planning as there are no windows in the corridor and it was cold During the nights with winds blowing in all directions in corridors... also very big noise from construction 🚧 next door. However staff was able to change my room to another side where noise was low.
Nice staff, great design, great location!

I've totally enjoyed my stay here. When I visited it wasn't terribly social but there are things that made up for it. One of course is the amazing rooftop view! Simply one of the best view in all of the city. Another one is their environmental awareness. Kudos to them for promoting it! Tips: Bring your own lock and I've only figured on my second day that you have to turn both shower handles to get the right temperature. lol
