This hostel is in the best location imaginable with walking distance to the Opera house, train station that can take you all the way from/to the airport, harbor with big cruise and small local ships and stunning views from the rooftop bar/eating area. It also has a historical value with the archaeological ruins underneath with see through floor to explore. Next door is archaeological educational center as well. Nice common kitchen with everything you need to cook, store, and keep cold. Big common dinning area with booths to work on a computer too.

The location, in The Rocks, cannot be surpassed. It is within easy reach of the ferries, city centre, the Opera House, Botanical Gardens, various galleries and museums and ease of access to public transport that easily connects with the broader public transport system within Sydney. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The accommodation is not luxurious, however, it is modern, well appointed, clean and well maintained with heating and air conditioning. One must be mindful that this a youth hostel. It was wonderful to be amongst people of all ages. To add to the historical aspect of The Rocks, there is a substantial archeological dig has been incorporated into the design of the youth hostel.
