Reviews of YHA Sydney Harbour

  • "Loved the location of Rocks YHA and the friendly helpful staff. Rocks YHA is in the best part of Sydney where you can walk or easily get public transport to lots that Sydney has to offer. The Hostel is bright and colourful and an interesting building in itself capturing the history behind the archaeological site it is built on. The double Opera House room was clean and basic but had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We couldn’t believe how quiet it was given we were in the heart of the city close to great pubs, markets, cafes, restaurants etc. We loved our stay and will definitely return. It is great for families and people of all ages. Thanks to staff for their friendliness and willingness to assist us with even the smallest matter." - Emilio & Tracey
  • "My second time to stay here. An excellent place to begin a trip to Sydney/Australia. Love the historical aspects. Most efficient, user-friendly hostel I’ve stayed in anywhere." - Dean
