I had a great stay at YHA Sydney Harbour from June 26-28, 2026 in the Queen Opera Harbour View room. The location is perfect, very close to everything and the harbour view was amazing. The room was clean, comfortable, and the ensuite was very convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful. I also tried the food and it was good. Overall a really good experience and great value for money!

One of the best place to stay for solo traveller. Located at the rocks area, from circular quay just walk about 10 minutes, or from wynyard need about 7 minutes. I stayed in 220 with bunkbed for 4 people. They have hot and cold water, enough space for luggage. You can buy/bring your own food then cook in the kitchen. The utensils quite complete. Easy check in/out and can go earlier check in like I did.

Great location, wonderful rooftop view, community kitchen was a huge plus. Our room was very quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. The common space was cleaned well daily. The bunk beds have curtains - great for giving our teens privacy while on their devices and we were resting. This was our family’s first stay at a hostel and I would love to stay here again. I also liked the history lessons around the property.

My first back packers place. Loved the whole vibe of the place, so relaxed, casual and inclusive (family and all ages). Loved the rooftop view and hanging out there with our pajamas, etc. The community pantry was also great although I did not use it as I played ahead for breakfast. I only took one star out because the breakfast did not have protein options like eggs, or bacon or sausages.
