There are backpacker places pretty much everywhere in Sydney. Potts Point might be a good starting option as it is close to the busier Kings Cross and Paddington areas and easily walkable to the Opera House and Botanical gardens. A lonely planet guide will give you a list .

Have a look here:

Most places will have enough independant ratings to get a decent idea.

For new years, the YHA in the Rocks may be good - be able to watch the fireworks from the rooftop. They'll need to book very early though.
