Sitting comfortably in the centre of one of Sydney's most famous precincts, with a sprawling terrace overlooking the Opera House, YHA Sydney Harbour is pretty spectacular, as hostels go. And though it’s a YHA (Youth Hostels Association) property, YHA Sydney Harbour doesn’t self-identify as a hostel, and for good reason. As well as the more affordable shared accommodation options, you’ll find private rooms with views that rival some of Sydney’s best luxury hotels, at a fraction of the price. The communal vibe and YHA's social-impact approach make this an excellent feel-good stay in the beating heart of the Harbour City.
