I had a pleasant stay at Original Backpackers in Sydney. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location is really convenient, close to transport and very central. The rooms were clean, and the common areas were nice for meeting other travelers. Overall, it was a comfortable and affordable place to stay. Would definitely recommend!

“Good enough for a short stay!”

It is very close to the opera. I stayed in a female 8 bed dorm with own bathroom, and that was very comfortable (but like always it depends who the room mates are). There was tea, coffee, milk, cereals, bread and spreads for breakfast.
