Hostelworld says

Sydney Central YHA was voted the best in Australia and the second-best in Oceania in 2009, and this clean, spacious hostel continues to receive high ratings, especially for its location. It?s set next to the buses and 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 travellers, 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.

Excellent location really helpful staff. Great amenities. I would stay there again. But... The building is old and needs repair in places , while i was there one laundry room was closed leaving only 2 washers for the whole places and the toilets are down the hall rather than in the room.
