Sydney Central YHA

Big shout out to Karl and Alex working at YHA Sydney central! They made our stay really comfortable and safe ❤️ When we checked in, we were slightly skeptical but Alex and Karl provided so much assurance to us and we’re extremely helpful in clarifying any doubts we had ❤️ Initially, We weren’t comfortable in the first room we were put in, hence we requested for a shift in rooms after and it was done immediately without any fuss. In terms of cleanliness, I feel like the bedsheets/duvet should be changed after checking out as I noticed housekeeping not changing the duvets. Also weren’t comfortable on how the male housekeepers could come in freely into the all women bedrooms as there were instances where we would be changing etc. The toilets were cleaner than I expected but don’t expect hotel level of standard. Overall, it was a good stay and loved loved LOVED the events at the bar downstairs! And LOVED the convenience of the location, everything is nearby (Central station, Chinatown, etc.)

A great place to stay at. For me, this was a last minute decision close to midnight. Plenty of options were available. Decided on a private room and had a great sleep!

The hostel is in a really great location and the staff are helpful and friendly. There are lots of facilities to use during your stay, a cinema room, a pool and a co-working space, laundry etc. The room I was staying in was REALLY dark, the light was super dim and my bedside light didn’t work. Overall it’s a good place to stay for the amount it costs.

Good value hostel. It's very big so don't expect a super social experience. There is still a nice atmosphere though. Some of the facilities like the movie room and quotes sauna were closed and the pool is cold, but otherwise the facilities were nice.

Great hostel with a lot of shared facilities that offer a lot of possibilities such as shared huge fridges, co-working spaces, a pool, chill areas, nice lookout on the city etc. Our room was minimalistic but more than enough for the cheap price. The staff is friendly and all shared rooms are properly cleaned on a daily basis. We would definitely choose this amazing hostel again!

Perfect hostel for staying in Sydney city centre. The room was clean and bed was comfy. The bathrooms aren’t spotless but weren’t unusable either. Really spacious kitchen and common area that was well maintained during our stay.

Communal spaces are fantastic. Massive kitchens with plenty of space to fit your food, both in the fridge and in cubby holes. Heaps of places to sit in the dining room area and lounge area.

Rooms are large, but no plugs by your bed, only in the very back of the lockers. Bathrooms are pretty grim too, which is a shame compared to the rest of the hostel.

Not the best place if you are just landing in Sydney as there isn’t any social events and people do keep to themselves.

Staff are really lovely too.
