Yes it should be fine for all species but possibly a bit narrow for a Syrian - some of their stuff is quite large. But really should be fine for most Syrians. For some Syrians they may need something bigger. Hamsters have different personalities as well but yes the size is ok. As Luna said you would need a bigger wheel for a Syrian - although 8” diameter is technically a minimum, they do much better with an 11” wheel which is the norm really. The flying saucer is definitely too small for a Syrian but fine for a dwarf.
