85%Railway Square YHA

Extremely noisy in the morning, as announcements in the train station start at around 5 am!! having said that great location and very clean. If getting a good night sleep ISNT important id recommend staying here!

A little clinical, but the facilities are fantastic. It would be nice if they offered a luggage store room rather than having to pay for lockers!!

Enjoyed my stay here. Just be careful if you're in the railway carriages because it can get noisy in the morning

Nice theme with the rooms being old railway carriages. Staff generally helpful but unable to smile. The rooms are VERY basic and FREEZING cold- I had three layers! Beds not so comfy either but the facilities in the communal area are good. Good location too, about a 30 minute walk to the bridge... more Nice theme with the rooms being old railway carriages.

This hostel is very great. Especially clean. and each bed has a lamp, so, you can read a book in your bed without bordering other traveller at night. Staff looks kind.

I couldn't put my finger on it, but my combo lock was reset to 000 multiple times as if someone tried to get into my locker...bring a lock. Otherwise pretty cool place.

i have booked in here for an additional week at the very least. The hostel has everything that you would need for Sydney. Close too all the major sights and George st for bars, and eating out. Would recommend this place to any one wanting to spend some time in Sydney

YHA is known for it's good facilities. The internet they offered isn't free but it's cheap and fast. I was by myself and had things I already planned to do in Sydney so I really wasn't trying to meet people, however, if you are then there are always a bunch of people hanging out having drinks... more YHA is known for it's good facilities.

Great place, I would stay there again. Oh yeah, amazing location, right next to Central Station which can get you just about anywhere.close

Never before have I stayed in a hostel where I have felt that I would rather eat out than cook in the kitchen there. Also, dorms which are next to train station are pretty noisy when trains are coming and going and you can hear the platform announcements! Hated my stay there, due to rarely being able to get a decent sleep and the kitchen being disgusting, and wouldn't recommend it.close

It was fun to stay in a railway carriage and not noisy either even though it is right next to the train station.

I have stayed here before and chose it immediately when I saw it was available. I like the railway motifs. Location is better too, a lot better than Kings Cross. I will definately stay here again!

Very good! The dudes who worked there were very entertaining, some of the female staff could learn from them. If i knew their names i would have told you, otherwise though, i thoroughly enjoyed it, and wanted to stay longer really.
