This is a magnificent "upmarket" backpackers at budget prices. It is one of the best around.
Located close to teh heart of the city, it offers private rooms at AUS$79 per room.
Your visit to Sydney is in the peak period. Accommodation in city centre is hard to find at any price. I would suggest that you consider staying a bit outside of the city-northern beaches around Manly has many backpacker hostels, and the prices are reasonable. Manly is a 45min ferry ride from city centre, a lovely trip. You can also reach Manly by bus, which runs frequently all through day & night.Another area is Glebe- which is a really funky & quaint suburb. Great amosphere and good eateries. Just a 10 min ride from city centre.
Google 'bakcpacker hostels-Sydney' for details of hostels and locations.
Try the YMCA they offer good accommodation and you can obtain a private room with ensuite, and use the other community facilities. My brother has used the YMCA in Perth and speaks highly of it. I would think Sydney would have similar standard.
Good Luck,
Mike
Ditto YHA.

Luna Park is destined to become Sydney's largest corporate entertainment, meetings and functions complex providing an exceptional and innovative venue for entertaining clients.

Take a stroll up George Street and possibly stop in at Centrepoint.
George Street began as a bush track dating back to the First Fleet. It was originally called High Street. In 1810 Governor Macquairie renamed it in honor of King George III.
I'm an Aussie, and we're nice! haha!
Seriously though - we are a very multicultural country and I think the most
endearing thing about us is that we're mostly pretty friendly and layed back.
I personally love meeting people from other countries.
So never be scared to come and ask and Aussie for directions or help - most
of the time we'd be more than happy to help.
Enjoy your trip to Australia!!
