Hostelworld says

Sydney Harbour YHA was named the best in Australia and Oceania at the 2010 Hoscars and it?s not hard to see why ? this clean, modern hostel has a stunning view over Sydney Harbour and Sydney Opera House. Hostelworld reviewers say they highly recommend this hostel to other travellers, citing the ?large, clean ensuite rooms? and ?clean safe, family atmosphere?. We like ?the Big Dig??archaeological digs in the ground floor which can be viewed from the walkways on all levels of the hostel.

The Rocks was a prime location for my first stay in Sydney, great proximity to the Quay for ferries, the opera house, and right under the bridge. Also close to public transit! The building is very cool and the common areas are very nice. My only reasons for not giving a 10 is that it’s so big that it was really hard to meet people outside of your room, it’s definitely a family friendly hostel and there were a ton of kids around, and our bathrooms in the room were kind of gross. Otherwise great!
