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.

What an amazing location. Right in the middle of the Rocks in between the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The facilities were good and the kitchen had multiple working stations which I prefer personally. You can tell everything is organised very well and they're really trying hard to be as eco-conscious as they can be informing and encouraging guests about recycling. I did miss organised activities a little bit for solo travellers, but other than that it's a great place for solo travellers!

Do not hesitate to stay here! The location is amazing! Close to the Harbor Bridge, Opera House, ferries, train stations and link station. I went through some of the other neighborhoods where other hostels are and I think this location seems way more convenient. There is an excitation project that’s part of the space, so interesting.
