Hostelworld says

The Original Backpackers Hostel is in a leafy, green area of King?s Cross, within walking distance of Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Darling Harbour and more. This hostel is in a Victorian building which our guests tell us has ?a vintage feel? and ?heaps of character?. We like this hostel?s blend of friendly parties and quiet nights; as one Hostelworld reviewers said, it has ?a buzzing atmosphere....but [is] still quiet enough at night for a good night?s sleep?. The highly praised, friendly staff host events nearly every night.
