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.

Good location in the Rocks but bear in mind you do need to walk up several hills/stairs. The atmosphere is very chill- diverse age ranges, nationalities, solo travellers and families. Kitchens are large and well equipped with plenty of storage space. Overall great hostel, would recommend.

It was my first hostel experience and it was pretty good! The showers and beds are comfortable. My only slight complaint is it's loud; meaning you can hear ever door opening and closing through the walls.

Very safe and clean hostel to stay in. The staff were friendly enough though some were nicer than others. Pretty good location near the harbour. Not a good social atmosphere and the events advertised were often cancelled.
