Sydney Hostels

YHA on the Rocks possibly the best hostel I ever been around the world.  Top notch welcoming staff once I stepped in the hostel.  icing on the cake is a free band event on the rooftop.  overlooking 270 degrees of Sydney Harbour with Sydney bridge just next to you, second to none experience.  Very clean and tidy kitchen and re-charging area.  thanks god that lift facility is available (my sore knee said thank you).  will I be back again?  absolutely.  from a very happy visitor from Newcastle.  checking out here.

Hotel = A nice, small boutique hotel (2 floors) near Bondi area, Minimalist style/ Clean & Comfy with Good relaxing scent in all rooms. Shared bathroom isn’t a big deal as there are 3-4 rooms per floor. Amenities is just bare enough. What could be better is to installing a hanging/wall rack (in room) for reuse towels. Also, Pantry room on 1st floor should be available early than 8am. Location = Easy access to main street & public transit (bus), A bit too far to walk to beach (Bondi). A decent cafe&restaurant nearby.

Room and amenities clean. Close to hospital which is why we were there. Also close to train station so you could get to other places easily. Affordable. Parking is good and reasonable rate. Will be staying there again.

OK for one night. The hotel is above the pub, which is also very busy in the afternoon. There is also live music there on Sundays until around 9 p.m. Everything is perfectly fine, unless you have room 10 next to the washing machine/dryer and sleep next to the ventilation. Even though drying and washing is not allowed after 9 p.m., it was very annoying. The hotel rooms face the back, so in the morning you also have the noise from the loading area of ​​the supermarket. On the positive side, the room was in a modern condition and the staff were all very nice. The beach is a ten-minute walk away.

This hostel in downtown Sydney exceeded my expectations. The overall cleanliness was excellent, and both the common areas and rooms were well-maintained. It offers exceptional value for money, especially for a city center location. The biggest highlight is its prime geographical position: the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, museums, and the State Library are all within easy reach. You can simply step out and start exploring the city on foot, saving a lot of commuting time. It's also very convenient for getting around and dining. Overall, I had a comfortable stay and will definitely prioritize choosing this place again on my next visit to Sydney.

Very good hostel. Room was small, but clean and cozy. Clean toilets and showers. Very cool lounge on the roof with beautiful ocean view. Highly recommend!

Check-in is until 10:30 PM. I arrived at Sydney Airport at 9 PM and then had to pick up my rental car. I got to the hotel around 11 PM. I had previously contacted the hotel via Trip.com to let them know I would be arriving late, and it was no problem at all! The friendly lady warmly welcomed me. She just asked for my ID, then gave me my key card. Parking is free. When you check in, you can park your car for a few minutes to the left, opposite the office. Once you've checked in, you can use your key card to open a gate to park your car. It closes again for security. So, to enter, just hold your card to the right of the office, and the gate will open. To exit, there's a control panel on the right; just press it, and the gate will open. Parking spaces are fine, even for Suzukis. Right next to the parking spots, there's a staircase that leads to your room. On the downside: no elevator. Room amenities: 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners. Fresh towels. The bathroom takes a bit of getting used to. The tiles are in a dismal state, and if the bathroom door is left open, there's a constant light from outside. There's a sink with hot water, but the mirror is to the left of it. A hairdryer is provided. The bed is comfortable and large, easily fitting two people. There's also an additional bed to the left of the window, though its purpose isn't entirely clear to me. The walls resemble a prison. A TV is available. There's a kettle, instant coffee, and tea, along with spoons and cups. Opposite the bed is a large mirror. The air conditioning only works sporadically. Pros: Close to the airport. Free parking, affordable prices. Private bathroom. Aldi is a 20-minute walk away. A few huge spiders (by European standards) visited me in the room ;D Verdict: Perfectly fine for one or two days.

The room size is worth the price, the facilities are decent, and the main advantage is the excellent location of the hostel, which allows you to get to almost all the attractions within about 40 minutes.

For a hostel, the cleanliness and facilities weren't bad. However, as it's still a hostel, it's best not to have sky-high expectations. The most surprising part was the complimentary breakfast and dinner. Considering this, it's arguably the best value-for-money hostel in Sydney.

I would tell the toilet is as per review, yes it is small and narrow but it’s simply worth the price especially when you consider the location (2mins walk to Chinatown station and Haymarket (most cheapest market in Sydney), and measured few stations to Circular Quay and one station to Sydney Central Station! Well the room (pod) condition also nice, even though you can expect the space pod is small but it’s clean and the A/C, electricity and locker works perfectly fine. Will definitely book this hotel again next time if I were a budget traveller.
