Hostel style hotel with private rooms as well. Really interesting place to stay with an archeology dig within and below the building. The hotel is in a good location for accessing all the Harbour front activities. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay here in December. The room was clean, as well as the entire facility. The continental breakfast was a great way to start the day. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed meals there, especially the wonderful Christmas Eve dinner they offered, it was such a fun evening. The location was great, and the rooftop area was such a bonus to have, it has a great view! We would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful place to stay in Sydney! We had a queen room, smaller than most hotel rooms but equipped with all that we needed, bed, bathroom, place to put clothes. Downstairs is a communal area with access to kitchens if you want to prep your own food, but they also have coffee bar and serve food. The roof top area is amazing with great views of Sydney Harbor and the Opera House, there is also a bar up there that serves till about 8:30pm? It a walk uphill to the top of the rocks, but you are located right next to the bridge and YHA is raised and built over an archeological site. Would not hesitate to stay again. Front desk staff are very friendly and helpful.

The staff were very courteous and helpful. For the price and location of the hotel, this is a super value. The location is in the heart of the Rocks and walking distance to Sydney Harbor as well as to Circular Quay transit central. The room was clean and the rooftop view was unbeatable. The hotel provides kitchen and food sharing options. We love the idea! Will definitely recommend this hotel for any family traveling on a budget.
