Really loved our stay here. We're planning to stay here again when in Sydney. Rooms are very clean with a great view! Loved the rooftop and morning sun. The only thing to note is that if you are staying on the 3rd floor, some rooms are on the end where you'll need to take a few steps down and is a bit challenging when you have heavy luggage.

The morning buffet was very poor, kept clean but limited items on it. The place was great and easy for walking down the steps to the rocks. The upper bar on the roof was with a beautiful view of the opera house , harper bridge.

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.

As an older traveling couple, we had never stayed at a hostel before. This was truly a great experience for us. We actually had our own room with its own private bath. The room was simple and clean, basic bed linens, no wall decor, updated bathroom, shampoo and bodywash was provided. Water pressure at the shower was awesome. We stayed on the 3rd floor which was the rooftop. And the view from the rooftop bar was amazing: the opera house, the harbor bridge, the downtown skyline, amazing! Location was great, walkable to shops, restaurants, the bridge, the opera house, downtown. This was a convenient location especially as we had a cruise booked afterwards. The cruise terminal was a short 10 minute walk. Thank you Sydney Harbor hotel for an amazing experience. If we are back in Sydney, we hope to stay with you again.
