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.

Showers could be a bit cleaner. Rooms clean and tidy, quite muggy in the summer though. Location is great. Facilities are big and useful even including a work space. Easy check in and out. Price could be better.

This hostel has a great location with great facilities. It was fairly clean, although someone’s chewing gum was stuck to my bed which does make me think it’s not cleaned as thoroughly as I’d like. The bathrooms were also clean at the start of my stay, but didn’t seem to be cleaned regularly as there was a build up of gunk on shower floors. Level 9 is a hidden gem though! I would stay again. Bonus points for cute Spanish man at the front desk 😇
