My wife and myself stayed here for six nights during a recent visit to Sydney April/May 2008. We found the staff very friendly and the facilities within the hostel excellent. We stayed in a double on-suite room that could actually have taken three people, the room was pretty small but then again all we did was sleep in it. The... more

this YHA is more for the flashpacker, at $40 dollars a night it is expensive for a 6 dorm. however, as with all YHA's you know that you will get a good stay. the kitchen facilities were very good, and there were plenty of comfortable communal areas. a swimming pool was also a bonus. if you are happy to pay... more

The hostel is in a great location, the facilities are good, it is very clean and the communal areas are excellent (although the 'pool' in TINY!). But the staff are either unfriendly or just plan rude. I was really put off asking them for any advice because even the simple query seemed like you were putting them out. it is... more

I had a private room with ensuite bathroom which for the... more

Stayed at the Railway Square with seven other friends/family over the New Year (30th Dec 06 - 5th Jan 07) - it was great! I'm not usually a big fan of huge hostels, but i loved this one! It was modern, clean, clean toilets/showers etc, clean kitchen, clean communal area, nice social hostel, front desk staff pretty ok too, i... more

A good, clean hostel (a little cheaper than the YHA central). Has a small outdoor pool but it was a little chilly to use when we were there! The rooms, bathrooms and kitchens are clean and still look fairly new. Excellent base for exploring the city and not noisy - handy for the Central station (next door!) and a wide... more
