Hostelworld says

Railway Square YHA is in the central train station, serving all the metro lines going across the city and to the airport. It?s also ideal for those coming by train from elsewhere in Australia. Hostelworld travellers tell us they appreciate that there?s ?plenty of room in [the] kitchen, [with] all cooking utensils available, large fridges for all [and] plenty of cook tops?. We like that some of the rooms are in train carriages, a unique but comfy setting.

Property Description

Winner of Australia National Tourism Award - Best Backpacker Accommodation 2014

Stay at Sydney's most laid back hostel complete with great railway carriage rooms next to Central Station.

Spoilt for choice in Sydney? Want somewhere different? Railway Square YHA is an original - Australia's only hostel in a railway station where you can stay on the train that's not going anywhere.

This unique YHA is in the heart of Sydney's backpacker district around Central. Sleep in one of the funky red train carriages on Central Station's original Platform Zero. Or go for one of the comfy rooms in the converted historic main building. Sydney's grooviest hostel, Railway Square YHA includes a great lounge and cafe, deck area, travel desk, pool table and now has free, fast Wi-Fi all throughout the property. Regular hostel activities including Aboriginal cruises on Sydney Harbour and great value trips to AFL football games.

Walk to most of Sydney's major attractions, or shop till you drop and go bar hopping in the city and nearby trendy Surry Hills. Explore Chinatown for great food and Paddy's Markets.

It was so quiet, very strange atmosphere. Mostly clean but things like loads of hair on the shower floor (wear shoes). People always used to hang out the back of our room down in the street and drink, was weird
