Hostelworld says
The Original Backpackers Hostel is in a leafy, green area of King?s Cross, within walking distance of Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Darling Harbour and more. This hostel is in a Victorian building which our guests tell us has ?a vintage feel? and ?heaps of character?. We like this hostel?s blend of friendly parties and quiet nights; as one Hostelworld reviewers said, it has ?a buzzing atmosphere....but [is] still quiet enough at night for a good night?s sleep?. The highly praised, friendly staff host events nearly every night.

I had a private room and it was ok but not as nice as the photos and the bed was really uncomfortable. It had a good shower. It was very expensive for a private room, more than a normal hotel, so I’d hoped it would have been nicer overall. Very close to King’s Cross station so easy to get around, and 30 mins walk to Sydney harbour / opera house. Staff were super friendly although when I called the out of office number twice no one answered or even got back to me.
