2-Star Hotels in Haymarket

Clean hostel with friendly staff. Rooms were spacious with large lockers for each occupant and personal plugs and bed side lights in a great position. Showers/toilets on each floor and I never had to wait to use them. Downside is that you can hear the music from their basement club even on the 6th floor until late into the night. Didn’t bother me as I was only there a few nights and I managed to get enough sleep. Kitchen is WAY too small for amount of guests in the hostel. The social events put on by the hostel were a good way to meet people as a solo female traveller.

Great hostel in a perfect location close to everything (transports, attractions, supermarket, restaurants). The dorms are spacious with huge lockers, the beds are very confortable and give you privacy with the curtains. The kitchen / lounge / laundry area is well equiped and very nice and modern. The numbers of showers / toilets is enough for the size of the hostel. And the most important : everything is super clean and tidy ! The staff is really nice, helpful and friendly and keep the place absolutely spotless. I've rarely seen an hostel this clean, comfy and well organised! Clearly it's a great place to stay in Sydney either for a few days to visit or even for a longer stay while working. I 100% recommend the Pod Sydney !

I stayed here for two nights and found it to be decent for a short stay in a great location transport wise. While hostels generally aren’t my usual choice, YHA Sydney Central fit my needs for a clean bed and bathroom. I liked that the toilets were outside the room - like a dorm! The regular cleaning of the bathrooms was particularly reassuring for someone like me who values cleanliness. The atmosphere was friendly, and the staff and fellow travellers were also lovely. There are a bunch of social activities that I couldn't attend but seemed good for any solo backpackers! There is also a pool and a paid locker service which was convenient. I didn’t use the kitchen, so I can’t comment on that aspect, but overall, this hostel is a practical choice for budget and solo travellers looking for a no-frills stay.

A friend and I stayed here over the weekend for one night, before a concert in another location. We had both flown in around 2pm into SYD airport, and arrived at approx 1500H. Upon entering the property, the bottom floor smelt of a deep muskiness that was intensely strong. Check in is from 1100H. So thinking that everything would be ready by 1500H, we were unfortunately wrong. We went to our pods and the cleaner was there, doing our beds as we stood there. It was slightly uncomfortable. The pod itself was clean and spacious. They actually met out expectations from the photos. But holy hell, these pods get hot as hell. Couldn't imagine staying here in Summer. Waking up at 7am and the pod itself being over 28 degrees. With the fun on high. There needs to be a better fan system or even air-conditioning. The hotel though was beyond filthy. The stairwell was sticky, the bathrooms were not clean, and the women's toilets had the ceiling missing. Oh and fun fact. If your pod is locked and you're inside it, anyone can come up and just PUSH them open. Had it occur multiple times during our stay. So no, the pods are not secure and I believe anyone staying here should not leave any valuables inside the pods thinking they are secure. Location is ideal though. Walking distance from Central station, and tram line less than 200m away. Value for money - but NOT secure sleeping pods.

It's OK, it is passable, it does the job but is nothing special. It is in an excellent location, a few doors down from the Central station and opposite a tram stop that is highly convenient. It is a little shabby in places, cleanliness is OK. The internet did not work at all, it would never connect. Luckily I could use the free internet from the hostel next door, but only when in the room which was on that side of the building. Before arriving we wanted to change our dates and shorten our stay by one day, but they would not do it, they made us cancel our booking and make a new one, but they charged the new booking at a higher price as it was much closer to the arrival date. So, it worked out more expensive to stay for one day less.

Not bad, quite affordable. Although small, it is clean and tidy.

Good venue in heart of town. Easy access from rail and train, restaurants and supermarkets. Thank you for upgrading us to a family room! The only downside is the sockets are not well positioned for easy charging

we were able to'take an amazing photo of the harbor when we were living in the hotel, and I the breakfast there was delicious as well.

Our previous trip staying in Novotel Sydney for 9 days was unpleasant as the room cleaning was always not done and have to constantly calling the housekeeper to send the staffs to clean it. This trip during the Hotel Check in , I’ve brought it up to the counter staff, and we don’t face the same issues like last trip. During our 7 days staying, 1st day hotel sent the complementary fruits/cheese platter to our rooms. And the most important that our both room was cleaned, towel changed, etc. out 1st nite, we have a splendid dinner at St Thomas Kitchen in the hotel. The steaks was nicely done, the side dishes and desserts was great ! Have ordered room service for burger and salad, tast good and food delivery was fast. Will stays there again for our next trip.

The location was great. Pitt St is right next door, but the alley where the hotel is located is quiet. There is an Indonesian supermarket right next door that stocks some Korean products. There was a Korean staff member at the hotel, so communication was very easy, and since I arrived at 7 a.m., I needed to store my luggage, and they kindly helped me. However, you have to wait a long time at check-in/check-out time. There are a lot of people, but there are only 1-2 employees... The facilities are a bit old, but there is no problem at all with your stay. Many tools such as toasters and kitchen utensils are provided. Even a microwave.
