Lonely Planet Review

There are a few YHA hostels in Sydney, but this is the one that really captured our attention and held it - its location is so central it's almost a part of Central station and its facilities are far better than you'd generally expect with a budget price tag. Another bonus? It's reliably run and a social place.

Double rooms here have large bunks (with a double bed) and can sleep three people - so fork out the extra bucks for a bathroom of your own and you need never know that you're in a hostel. While the decor leans more to the functional side of things than the fancy - everything is in good working order and has a fair bit of pizzazz. We love the fact that some of the dorm accommodation is in a few New South Wales' old 'red rattler' train carriages. All the rooms here have windows too - a nice touch in a city that has far too many airless boxes masquerading as budget accommodation. All up, you'll find 280 spots to sleep here, but also a lot of people keen to do so, so book ahead.
