8/10 Very Good

Very interesting area
We stayed in a private “Opera Harbour View” room. Check in went well, but when we got to our room we noticed the garbage pails hadn’t been emptied, there was a questionable brown streak on the wall and the next morning we found a small spot of blood on the bed sheets. We alerted the staff who promised to do a deep clean of the room while we were out for the day. When we got back the room had indeed been well cleaned. The brown streak was gone as were other scuff marks that had been on the wall, the sheets had been changed and the garbages emptied. The hostel is part of the Big Dig and there are lots of fascinating artifacts to see, sign boards to read, not to mention it’s located above an excavated site which they’ve left stairwells open so you can easily see the excavated area below. We’d stayed at the hostel last year because the price was amazing but they’ve since done renovations and the price has gone up. Although still cheaper than other places, I didn’t feel like we’d received as much value for our money this time as we did the year before. Also a caution about the Opera Harbour View rooms: the view is nice…as long as a cruise ship isn’t in port. Then your Opera Harbour View becomes a Cruise Ship View. Usually not a problem because the ship is only there during the day, but they will sometimes be there overnight.

4/10 Fair

While the staff were very kind, the quality of our stay was quite low. Unfortunately there were quite a few issues with our hotel. Issues were as follows: Toilet smelt terrible and made whole bathroom smell quite rotten. It smelt like a public toilet that hadnt been cleaned in a long time. Toilet brush was broken so couldn’t be used. Shower head was broken and sprayed across the whole bathroom. Shower curtian was either mouldy or still dirty, was hard to tell as there were brown splatters across it. No cooling in the room so got very hot and had to leave the window open which let in mosquitoes and a lot of the city noise. Room was lacking, one chair, small table, no mini fridge or anything. Wasnt really 2 user friendly. All in all it was a disappointing stay, especial for the money we paid.

Excellent stay
This was an excellent choice for my first time in a shared accommodation setting as a solo female traveler. Everything was clean and the staff was always friendly. The only thing that could be improved on is the breakfast bar. The value, options, and variety were good, but there was no protein options at all. Something simple like scrambled eggs would be a great addition.

YHA Sydney was a great place to stay. We didn’t really have any expectations but were pleasantly surprised to find we had a full view of the Sydney Opera House from our room window! The rooftop is spectacular with views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and Sydney’s center. The breakfast was good. The staff helped in every area. The room itself was clean and comfortable. We definitely recommend this hotel John and Candace
