YHA Sydney Central Reviews

Perfect location and clean hostel. The beds are comfortable and clean. They have personal luggage storage in the shared room just bring your padlock . Toilets are great with hot and cold showers. However, they don't have bidet, so if you're someone who uses bidet, then this place is not for you. They also have a good kitchen to cook your favorite dishes. The staff are good they are friendly and accommodating. I just don't like their strict check out policy. I was at the toilet and exceeded 5min before checking out, but when I tried to open the shared room to get my luggage, I could not open it anymore they deactivated the keycard already which is really rude. Maybe you can give consideration when it comes to checkout time.

Good Clean Friendly Conveniently Location good nearly Thai town

It’s my 2nd time to come here and I’m just happy to stay here comfortably and even more relaxed with clean and comfy beddings. It’s warm in the room and my stuff is safe with the lockers. The staff are absolutely very friendly and welcoming. The food and the pantry are okay too. I will definitely come back.

The location is very convenience , clean, and accommodation is very comfortable highly recommended to everyone We Love this place So many fun activity Thank you so much for everyone

Love having dark curtains and USB ports at the bunk bed.  Being able to cook is also a huge plus.  The only wish is to have scissors in the kitchen

One of the best hostels we’ve ever been to! Located less than a 5min walk away from Sydney Central station, you can’t expect a better location than this especially if you’re traveling. There’s also a light rail station right in front of the door of the building. About the hostel itself, it has everything you can possibly dream of: a bar, a restaurant, and even a pool! Alongside the usual commodities such as a laundry room, a kitchen, etc. The staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is also really clean and welcoming; it doesn’t feel creepy at all (some cheap hostels sometimes do). The room we stayed in was a 4-bed mixed dorm, it was so spacious, had a huge window, one locker per bed and even a small table and stall! One detail we absolutely loved was the curtains surrounding the beds that you can close for more privacy. If we had to find a downside, it’d probably be that breakfast isn’t included (14 added AUD) but other than that, it’s a very convenient place that‘s a great value for money.

Musta improve the key access, in my stay i need to go back twice at the lobby to concern my key access, i cant access girls toilet a lot using my access card.

I traveled solo, so I chose the hostel for staying in Sydney for 4 days. The location is great!!! 20 mins away by a train from the airport, a lot of train stops and bus stops around. Breakfast is not great, yogurt, cereal, croissants, muffins, toasts, some can fruits, tea, coffee (12$). In this hostel something happened that never happened to me before. I left some of my clothes on the bed, keep housing changed my bedsheets and took my clothes away. Even though I still had 2 nights left. The best decision (that’s what they said) is they gave my a voucher for breakfast lmao!!!! I kept coming and asking if they found my clothes but they didn’t and the last day when I already was leaving they said okay, we can call the police if I want to solve this problem. That’s ridiculous! For 2 days they didn’t do anything, every time when I came to the front desk there were different workers and it was quite hard to find a manager! So if you decide to stay here, keep all your stuff in the locker. The padlock is 6$. There are washing machines and dryers, I didn’t use but as far as I remember around 8$. The cockroach was on the kitchen level, huge as my thumb.

The hostel is in a perfect location right near central station and the tram stop. Staff were friendly and helpful the place was clean and quiet at night,just refurbished looking great I'd recommend anyone to stay here

Learned about YHA from a travel blog. I booked a queen room with an ensuite for myself (traveled solo), so it felt more like a usual hotel stay rather than the more social/fun rooming with other people. THe price was reasonable. The best part about this hostel is its location--literally in the Center of everything. There's a tram and the train station right outside of the hostel. The next thing that was great about it was the hospitality of the staff. I didn't do much at the hostel or places right outside the building (I bet there was so much to do), so there's not much to add; the pool area at the rooftop was under renovation, so that bummed me a little. Overall, it was a great place to stay for two nights. Would return. Would recommend.

Perfect location and room is spacious but it is quite bothersome to need to tap cards into the toilet/bathroom

I arrived early intending to just drop off my bag, but was told that I could go up to my room, which meant that I was able to secure a lower bunk as I do have difficulty climbing in and out of the upper bunk. The only down side was that 2 of the 3 toilets were out of order.

Good and kind

Overall was great experienced . But the amenities abit round down and the room is stuffy during summer . No fans available and window can’t open. Towel have to request upon asking , the reception won’t give it to you if you not asking. Hair dryer in the male toilet was broken. Location was great just right infront of the Haymarket tram.
