Posted by Sydney’s most laid back hostel, Railway Square YHA, adjoins Central Station and is within minutes to the best pubs and restaurants in Sydney, Chinatown and Darling Harbour. Here are the top 4 items we love about Railway Square YHA here in Sydney!
1.) International Youths
I met a lot of international people. The receptionists are French and German. The breakfast server is Bulgarian. The hostel’s janitor is Chinese. In the chill-out area, I met Spanish, Colombian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Arab and German friends!
2.) Scenic Chill Out Area
Who thought that only 5-star hotels should have this ambience? I stayed here for a couple of hours. I took a selfie of that Big Ben tower look-alike. I recorded here my birthday greetings to my mom.
3.) Very Nice Wall Art Installation
I had some self pity this morning after realizing that Sydney is very expensive for me; that a 10 AUD burger would make me cry. I got a positive uplift of this YHA wall art installation near my room. What you feel depends on how you think. I feel good today!
4.) Train Cabin-like Rooms
Spend a once-in-a-lifetime night in a funky railway carriage on Platform Zero of Central Station or in one of the comfy rooms in the historic main building. It normally gets fully booked thus I suggest you book in advance! This backpacker hostel features a free Wi-Fi hotspot (Wi-Fi Plus also available), 24-hour access, tour desk, indoor and outdoor communal areas and self-catering kitchen.
How to go to Railway Square YHA: The last stop of your Murrays Bus from Canberra will be in Sydney Central Station. From there, you can just walk around 5 minutes to 8-10 Lee Street (crn Upper Carriage Lane & Lee St or entry via the Henry Deane Plaza)
