Really loved our stay here. We're planning to stay here again when in Sydney. Rooms are very clean with a great view! Loved the rooftop and morning sun. The only thing to note is that if you are staying on the 3rd floor, some rooms are on the end where you'll need to take a few steps down and is a bit challenging when you have heavy luggage.

The room was small and utilitarian, but clean and safe. The breakfast was pretty great. The location was wonderful, although lots of stairs up and down to thw Circular Quat area where the ferrys run. We loved our stay at the YHA (Youth Hostile Association?) Due to how close it was to everything. The roof top bar had a great view of the Sydney Operah House (except when the cruise ship was at port and blocked the view), thw harbor, and the bridge. The ataff was super nice and helpful. The hotel (hostel) is built on an archeological dig, which is pretty cool. There is a "free" (they ask for tips which were well worth it and no pressure) ghost tour every evening that was really enjoyable. We.would definitely come back. The proce is pretty outrageous for a hostile, but for the location it was worth it compared to other hotels in the area. 8 of us stayed in 2 rooms pretty comfortably. They even have a kitchen and fridges that you can store and prepare your own food if you want. They also had a free baggage storage service after we checked out for thw afternoon before we left.
