Super convenient location for overnight in Sydney when transiting through the airport, priced well. Facilities dated and run down. Bathrooms mouldy and not clean, quite gross. Other guests behaved poorly, slamming doors, screaming and chatting in the hallways in the middle of the night.

Great location, close to cafes and transport. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, kitchens and dining room on level 1 were clean and spacious. Probably could do with more fridge space. Ladies Bathroom on level 3 used to slam shut which kept us awake at night but this was fixed after the problem was reported. Storage cupboards in the bunker rooms need to be repaired - 3 were broken in room 305. Excellent place to stay, highly recommended.

Proximity to Central Station and Light rail, right at the door, made this YHA very convenient. Three large school groups staying overnight made for an interesting time, especially the first night, when the teenagers on our floor were quite noisy. They were apologetic the next morning and were quiet the next night. The In cafe had brilliant food and drinks, the staff at the cafe and the registration desk were very helpful and friendly. I would recommend to people looking for affordable accommodation, just don't expect 5 star quality.
