I would have loved to have curtains on the beds. But apart from that the rooms are very spacious and the best weren't too close to eachother.

I loved the fact that this accommodation has such a big kitchen, there were like 4/5 stoves and sinks. So a lot of people can cook at the same time. Also view on the rooftop was amazing!!! You can see the CBD, Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. Amazing sunrises!

Only one lift- but this is a minor gripe as the stairs worked just fine! Also I tried the online check- in at the kiosks but it was a really long winded process so ended up going to the desk anyway.

A great 'hostel'. Much more like a hotel except for having to do your own washing up! Continental breakfast was nice- fairly basic (cereals, toast, croissants, yogurt, fruit etc) but plenty of it. Our room was great- nice space for our teenage kids who appreciated having their own curtained off space on their bed. The roof terrace was also fab, drinks good value for money but the view of the opera house was often restricted by a cruise ship. The location was great- walking distance of the harbour and just 300m from the Bridgeclimb.

It has to be the least social hostel I have stayed in. Due to their being a variety of solo, groups, school trips and families it is hard to mix. That is my only negative about this place.

It was the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. The rooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms and roof top were always so clean. The staff were lovely too. It has all you could need and amazing price for the perfect location.

Hard to get to on foot! Uphill, up so many steps. Not recommended to walk with luggage from train station.

Location to cruise terminal and circular quay perfect! Basic accommodation, comfortable bed, great shower and adequate breakfast!

Great facilities with a private room for our family of 5; clean and perfectly located to get around by foot or take a tram or a ferry. Rooftop is awesome and everything made to get things easily.

The steps to the top bunk were painful.

The rooms were cleaned regularly, the lockers were massive - fit a 23kg suitcase in it. Location was handy - walkable distance to a lot of things. The rooftop bar was AMAZING. That veiw with such affordable accommodation was unexpected. First time in a youth hostel wasn't sure what to expect, but very pleasantly surprised

Beautiful rooftop bar. Room was clean. Nice barista coffee cafe on site

As above getting to and from YHA with a heavy suitcase and the Cruise Ships. Neither of these situations are in the control of YHA. I have no complaints (in fact only praise) for the actual accommodation - a fabulous location, but it is quite pricey for a room with a view when that view is blocked.

The view from the room was great at night. However, when the Cruise ships were in during the day, the view was completely blocked. From about May onwards the Cruise ships would not be in. The location was fabulous during my stay. The only problem was getting to YHA with a heavy suitcase. I had to walk a considerable distance because I could not manage to carry the case down all the steps that led to Circular Quay - no problem wandering around during the day with just a bag. Breakfast was great, very plentiful

Nothing actually - it was a great stay

Great location and area! Staff are lovely. There is lots of space in the rooms, bathroom, kitchen, rooftop etc. Bar upstairs is nice to sit and have a wine with a view of the opera house! Saw some fireworks off the roof. Nice mix of people very laid back. Coffee shop / sandwiches and snacks are really tasty.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location.

You could hear footstep noise from the room above. Also, you should bring your own shampoo, toothbrush, etc.

The staffs were nice, and their events held in the rooftop bar were fantastic. Most of all, it was built right over a historic site so you could see them whenever you walk by the corridor.

My room was a little hot one night but was able to ask for the air-con to be turned on in the room so it was better the next night. The water pressure in the shower wasn't very good and kept changing temperature and pressure constantly.

Great Location and wonderful views from the top floor. Love the archeological display on the ground floor as well as the photos located throughout the building. I enjoyed spending some time reading about the history of the Rocks. I wasn't sure about the idea of an app on my phone as a key to the room but it was actually surprisingly good and easy to use.

The bathroom could do with a clear out- there were so manh built up random bottles left from people!

The location and communal areas were awesome. Really wonderful being so close to the harbour bridge and opera house! Staff were friendly and helpful, good breakfast options and free towel use!
