Hostels in New South Wales, Australia

Learned about YHA from a travel blog. I booked a queen room with an ensuite for myself (traveled solo), so it felt more like a usual hotel stay rather than the more social/fun rooming with other people. THe price was reasonable. The best part about this hostel is its location--literally in the Center of everything. There's a tram and the train station right outside of the hostel. The next thing that was great about it was the hospitality of the staff. I didn't do much at the hostel or places right outside the building (I bet there was so much to do), so there's not much to add; the pool area at the rooftop was under renovation, so that bummed me a little. Overall, it was a great place to stay for two nights. Would return. Would recommend.

Located in The Rocks, walking distance to Circular Quay. Need to be a mountain goat to walk here, especially with luggage. Once dropped off, explore the beautiful Rocks area. I caught the train to Circular Quay, where the Opera House and Harbour Bridge is. Then walked up many, many stairs to get here. Well worth it. Very modern, even though it's built over an archaeological site of part of the old Rocks area. Beautifully done and preserved. Room was very modern and clean, albeit expensive for a double ensuite room. But i did not mind paying for the location and cleanliness. Bathroom modern and clean. Lockers available for long term hire. I can not rate it highly enough The rooftop of this hostel!!?? Absolutely second to none. Perfect views of the Opera House, Bridge and harbour

I had previously read the comments before booking at the capsule hotel as I usually do to avoid disappointment of available amenities, staff etc… when checking in I found the location in the heart of the CBD perfect with food vendors straight across from the hotel and a 2 minute walk from the light rail that takes you straight to the main shopping district and the rocks for all your art and entertainment. Staff were very kind and approachable even the guard at the bottom floor bar exit door was friendly to me when exiting at night. I found noise never to be an issue in the pods, although I did wear headphones at night time to listen to music but the room is practically always quiet. I was worried about how the air flow would be in the pods and about the mattress comfort from previous reviews thinking I may have got a one way ticket to a hot box scenario but I found it to be very comfortable with great airflow, I had the air flow on 1-2 levels at different times of the day and they still had an option for a third stronger airflow that I found unnecessary. I loved coming back to the pod for some RNR between my busy schedule over the three days I stayed here, the mattress for me was so comfortable and reminded me of the tatami mats in Japanese culture that they sleep on so as a westerner it actually opened my perspective to understanding Japanese culture better. I found that the shared bathrooms were always clean and never to crowded at both night and day. The last thing I can comment about is the storage was a great size I like that they had a hanger in your card accessed locker to dry your towel out through the day and still stay seperate from my belongings. Overall as a solo female traveller I would highly recommend the capsule hotel Sydney. I have stayed at hostels in Sydney close by to this hotel but that extra privacy allowed me to not feel like I wanted to stay out all day till bedtime. This was a last minute trip and if I ever had to book another last minute stay in the city I will book here.

Clean hostel with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious with large lockers for each occupant and personal plugs and bed side lights in a great position. Showers/toilets on each floor and I never had to wait to use them. Downside is that you can hear the music from their basement club even on the 6th floor until late into the night. Didn’t bother me as I was only there a few nights and I managed to get enough sleep. Kitchen is WAY too small for amount of guests in the hostel. The social events put on by the hostel were a good way to meet people as a solo female traveller.

It’s basic but has everything you need including lots of drawers and storage space and microwave. Not spotlessly clean but far from dirty. Nothing special or exciting but perfectly liveable. The only issue is maintenance like toilet leaking and bed frame wobbley and even the soap holder fell off the wall. The two male staff members were always so friendly and welcoming but the lady working on the Saturday had a cold personality and she would not lend me 10cents so I could use the laundry without having to walk all the way to the bank to get more coins even tho I had 2 more nights already paid for and would have gave them the 10cents back the next day.

Hostel in central 30 min walk to major clubs and bars. Convientent location for the train. Its literally 1 minute walk away from train station. Room was small but they have bigger rooms. Tight narrow space. Works for the night. Very busy always packed. Cheapest hostel possibly in sydney

I've stay there quite a long time during the 2021 year and I was feeling like I was at home. The number of guest was very low because of the Covid. The staff is nice and the small size of the hotel makes it feels as a second home. I've got good memories from this place

A friend and I stayed here over the weekend for one night, before a concert in another location. We had both flown in around 2pm into SYD airport, and arrived at approx 1500H. Upon entering the property, the bottom floor smelt of a deep muskiness that was intensely strong. Check in is from 1100H. So thinking that everything would be ready by 1500H, we were unfortunately wrong. We went to our pods and the cleaner was there, doing our beds as we stood there. It was slightly uncomfortable. The pod itself was clean and spacious. They actually met out expectations from the photos. But holy hell, these pods get hot as hell. Couldn't imagine staying here in Summer. Waking up at 7am and the pod itself being over 28 degrees. With the fun on high. There needs to be a better fan system or even air-conditioning. The hotel though was beyond filthy. The stairwell was sticky, the bathrooms were not clean, and the women's toilets had the ceiling missing. Oh and fun fact. If your pod is locked and you're inside it, anyone can come up and just PUSH them open. Had it occur multiple times during our stay. So no, the pods are not secure and I believe anyone staying here should not leave any valuables inside the pods thinking they are secure. Location is ideal though. Walking distance from Central station, and tram line less than 200m away. Value for money - but NOT secure sleeping pods.

It was comfortable because it was newly built. First of all, the kitchen facilities are cleaned, but due to the nature of the hostel, they are not very clean. There is only one refrigerator and it is very small. There is no space to do laundry. I understood it because it was a recently built space. There was no air conditioning in the room so I almost died from the heat. I finally started playing through inquiries. I don't know if they make the bed in the room or not. Even before it's organized, people come in to check in and use the space they used right away. Hygiene seemed to be okay though. It smelled a bit like paint. And they said the key deposit in the beginning I received an additional $45 on top of the original amount. I was shocked to hear that I had to write a review to get it back. I wrote a review but Even though it's been 2 days since I returned home after checking out. That $45 hasn't arrived yet. So, I am editing the review and uploading it again. Even though $45 may seem small, I think everyone knows that it is not a small amount. I think it would be good if you understand this and come here.

The hostel is definitely worth booking. I paid cheap cost to live near to the center of the city. The common areas are big enough and people are nice. But it is a bit disappointed that they don’t have a hair dryer.

Was at Maze hostel from the 13th August for about 1 month and absolutely loved my time there and was so sad to leave. Became great friends with Joni within the first few days of being there and she made me feel so comfortable to approach her with anything I needed. Thanks to all 3 event managers Joni, Matteo and Lautaro for making it so much fun every single day. I recommend this hostel to anyone while this event team is here!

I was trying to find a comfortable bed at George 790 and I slept. George 790 is two minutes away from Sydney Central Station. The hotel is clean and tidy, as is the shared shower and toilet! Air conditioning is on (20 degrees Celsius) and I met two lovely tourists in the 4-person girls' dorm - one from Boston and the other from Denmark - who won bronze in the Adelaide Surf Life Saving competition! Also, I found a Chinese restaurant with a halal meat service just below it!!! Unfortunately, I couldn’t connect to their free wi-fi at night.

The double room is bigger than the imagination. Bunk bed, small and large. There is a desk, wardrobe and small fridge. It was still a bit cold in mid-September, but only a blanket was given, and it was still warm enough to sleep with the clothes at night. Although the washroom is public, it is still clean. Hotel location is very good, legs and feet are diligent, most of the attractions can come. The street where you are located is also very lively. There are coles in a few steps. However, there seems to be a live concert or something opposite the hotel. There is music at a certain time in the evening, but it is not the extent that it can not sleep. In general, the next time you go to Sydney, you may still book this, and the price conditions are good. (The problem of the quilt can be solved better...) PS: The little buddies who come out to the front desk downstairs will say hello to you, very cheerful, let you have a good mood ( ́▽`)
