YHA hostels are very clean and nice to stay at, but I can’t believe that a big hostelchain like that charges for using internet. And it’s not cheap either. More

This hostel was my first stay in Sydney. Effie & Sasha made me feel right at home when I arrived. My backpack got lost in Munich, so I didn't have any clothes or towel, so I borrowed a towel :-) They try to make everyone feel good and they are very friendly. But its bit to expensive for More

Best hostel I have ever stayed in, worth the extra money and even though location is not central - very easy to catch the train/bus as it is just across from the station. More

Loved this place! Staff were super friendly and helpful and offered great free city tours with a free beer at the end! The downstairs bar is a lot of fun too with a good happy hour. Good location too, right by central station More

WE had a good experience at Jackaroo. The hostel is not in a great area, but it is walking distance to the main things to see in Sydney. Also, the free internet and breakfast are a big bonus! More

Did not like the way mugs were stored in the kitchen. Top down on a cloth. A good breeding ground for bacteria. Also, I suffer from vertigo and the arrangement of mirrors in the elevator made me feel very dizzy Most backpackers these days provide free wi-fi, but at least your charges are More

While some staff were very lovely and friendly, others took unhelpfulness to new levels. And we were given dirty sheets to use. A private room offering a reasonably quiet night's sleep. Not the worst hostel we've stayed at by a long shot but far from the best. More

Spend the extra $4-8 and stay here. The 10 bedroom dorm was super clean, as well as the toilets and kitchen. Staff was friendly and the location made it easy to save money by walking to most places, but also having easy access to transit. Rooftop patio was a bonus, multiple bbqs and More

Good location but it is located on top of a nightclub so if you value your sleep stay elsewhere. The kitchen is of decent size and contains most of your cutlery needs. More

It was good because it was right in the middle of everything, easy access to everything. BUT, don't stay here unless you want to be awake until 2am with the club that is one floor below you. Also, ask not to stay on the level with the kitchen, blazing hot! More
