The location is right by the pier, and sitting on the balcony watching the Opera House feels absolutely wonderful! The decor is quite new, and the facilities are good. Breakfast offers a wide variety of food. There's also a clean, spacious kitchen. I'd be happy to stay here again.

Extremely satisfied! I stayed in the family room with my parents. It was quiet all night, and the location is superb, very close to both the pier and the bridge. It was clean and hygienic, and the à la carte food on the first floor was also very nice.

Nice hotel overall, enjoyed walking around the Rocks. But it’s very hilly and the Wynyard station is WAY MORE ACCESSIBLE than Circular Quay. Still, had to walk ~10min. There’s a nice rooftop view and bar. My room was right next to the bar where people talked loudly and played music, but the soundproofing is great, so it didn’t bother me. My roommates didn’t want to open windows at night and it was impossible to use the AC, so it felt extremely stuffy inside. I also previously stayed in a Japanese hostel, and I really liked the idea of separating storage and bathroom from a sleeping area there. In this hostel, if neighbours want to find something in their suitcase, it’s very noisy. Doors are noisy too and it’s impossible to close them quietly. Nice restaurant area, very spacious and there’s also the kitchen where you can cook/store food in a fridge. The door key can be added to Apple Wallet so it was very convenient.

The terrace view and kitchen facilities were great, and they organized many free activities. However, I couldn't control the behavior of other guests. I had a roommate who talked in their sleep, which affected my sleep quality at night. Also, the common area carpet wasn't cleaned during check-out.

Nice hostel at the Rocks. Location is ok but up in a hill so can be challenging to get there. Rooms are nice and clean. View from the rooftop bar is amazing

I REALLY like this YHA hostel, brand new facilities and very close to the train station, but need to climb up and down a little bit to access to the hostel, if you bring large case, please be aware that you might need to put more effort. the view of the roof bar was great and it is also a good place to socialise with other new friends from different parts of the world.

The location is great, very convenient for transportation, and there's a large kitchen if you want to cook for yourself. The room met my expectations. You can drink beer and enjoy the view from the rooftop. Someone else had reserved my seat, and the staff member was very apologetic and offered me a free beer.
