Hostelworld says

Sydney Central YHA is a super clean, spacious hostel that continues to receive high ratings, especially for its location. It's set next to the trams, close to trains at Central Station and is a short walk from Paddy's Market and Chinatown. Hostelworld reviewers tell us that this is a fantastic place buzzing with international traveller's, things to do and ways to meet other people. We particularly like their two big kitchens, ensuring that there's still enough space for everyone to cook in this large hostel.

YHA Sydney central is a reliable hostel with clean spacious rooms and great kitchen facilities. I enjoyed my stay here but it’s not a sociable hostel for backpackers and there’s a lot of older people (I am currently working so this suits me perfectly). They charge $12 if you want the breakfast spread but it’s only cereal and juice and other hostels would offer this for free.

HA Sydney Central has potential, but my stay was underwhelming. Positives: responsive management and good location. Negatives: lackluster welcome, cleanliness issues, and limited amenities like power outlets. The inaccessibility of the rooftop was disappointing. Appreciate the planned improvements, but my experience fell short of expectations.
