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.

This hostel is the very BEST one I’ve ever experienced. Spotlessly clean, beautiful breakfast, excellent kitchen facilities with ample food storage areas, super rooftop bar and bbq area with the greatest view of the Harbour and opera house. The staff is friendly, efficient and professional, and they put on yoga class and a BBQ during my stay up on the rooftop. There’s a million steps you must climb to get up the hill from the harbo,— You could take a $15 Uber, but it’s well worth the climb !!

The hostel was way nicer than I expected and the staff were so kind. I arrived early and they let me shower and change while also storing my luggage until check in. Felt safe the entire time. Property was extremely chic as well and the cultural artifacts on display were super cool! Definitely reccomend.
