The Glebe Point YHA has all the amenities that YHA hostels in Australia usually do; it is very clean, well-run, has large social spaces and is high on security. Dorm rooms all have a locker (locks can be bought at reception) for each bed. There is also a sink in each dorm room. Bunk beds are not the best: ladders to the top are inaccessible and the bottom ones are really low, no space to sit. The bathroom facilities, while clean, could be larger; there is only one sink in each bathroom and it's in one of the shower stalls, so if you want to wash your hands after using the toilet, you have to return to your room.
The hostel is not a particularly social one and seems to cater to an older and family-based crowd. But there are some planned activities (BBQs in the lovely rooftop area, for example, which has a great view of Glebe and Sydney). The rooms can be a bit noisy in the mornings as they open out onto windows that connect via an open area to the roof, so any noise that people make while eating up on top comes down directly into the rooms. The kitchen and indoor eating area are of adequate size, with plenty of fridge space. There is a large TV room with lots of sofas and a book exchange. There's also a games room with a pool table and video games that is open twenty-four hours a day. A small internet cafe is available on site as well.
The location for the hostel is the best part, right in the heart of Glebe, a lovely neighbourhood and a change from the central core of Sydney, but not too far from all the activities in the city proper. There are lots of lovely architecture and walking opportunities in the area, and good cafes, restaurants and shopping, including weekly markets.
