Fantastic location beside Woolworths and Aldi. Able to access some walking tracks and view points by walking from the hostel. Heaps of free car parking. Large kitchen, easy to cook meals here. Heaps of space to socialise or spend time on a laptop. Grassy area with outdoor dining tables. The building and bathrooms are clean. Price was amazing.

In a great location on the main street of Katoomba in a former historic old hotel. A 10 minute walk downhill from the train station. Steps to multiple grocery stores, cafes, and shops. Easy access from here to all the scenic attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Newer beds. Lots of large common areas including a full kitchen. Relatively quiet, probably due to the off season.

The place has a great location, it is close to the main stores, supermarkets and bus station, the place is cosy and warm, specialy for the cold weather. Great staff, very kind and helpful. Rooms are ok, just what you may spect from a hostel, clean sheets and really good towels. The kitchen is big, with multiple stoves, two microwaves and one oven, and plenty of dishes and kitchenware and lots of fridge space. Has a big common area to relax, watch a movie on the projector, or just chill. Very satisfied!

We really enjoyed our stay at YHA, our private room was very comfortable and surprisingly quiet (which we loved!) The facilities were good (kitchen, pool table, table tennis, etc) The staff were nice too! Great location as well.

Great location. Plenty of parking in back or on street. Everything was clean. Mattresses were actually fairly comfortable. Individualized lockers. Free towel.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The room was spacious. Comfortable beds. The social area was nice. Each evening they put on a film on the projector. I watched one of them. The kitchen facilities had everything you need. Very well located. Loved the fact you could open the window. We had just stayed in another hostel in Sydney where it was not possible and it was horrible and stagnant. It was brilliant feeling the fresh air come in!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The free parking was a great bonus, and there was a grocery store and a local attraction nearby, which we could easily reach by walking along a pleasant road. The breakfast was fantastic — delicious and with plenty of variety. The hotel staff were very friendly, always ready to help and provide useful advice. The kitchen was convenient, and we happily used the fridge and all the necessary utensils. We stayed on the ground floor, and we couldn’t hear any noise from the neighbors — either the soundproofing was excellent, or the neighbors were very quiet. Either way, the atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable. We’ll definitely come back here again!

Very nice old house, well maintained, converted into a hostel. - Very clean : nothing to complain, even the kitchen - My room was a 4 bunk bed room so up to 8 people. The room was very big and with plenty of space in our locker (my 70 l bag was able to fit easily) - The common rooms are the biggest I have seen in a hostel - Perfect location, very close to the city but not in a noisy place - Super nice staff, even the night duty manager : I came back late for check-in (called before) and he was super nice, even gave me a bandage (I was bitten by leeches during my hike and it was still bleeding) and then cleaned the common room around 10-11ich pm.

Kitchen was humongous and kept very clean, with massive fridges and freezers. Multiple sinks and hobs also meant I never felt like I had to jostle for space even though it was always quite busy. Really comfy dining area with power outlets for laptops. My 4-bed room was spacious and thoughtfully furnished with clothing rails, a large shelf, two chairs ('chairdrobes'), which makes it so much easier to get organised.

The place was great. Fantastic central location for the blue mountains. The kitchen was really big, clean, and well equipped. All the rooms used key cars which felt secure. There was a nice patio, and the dining and louge areas were large. There was also plenty of space to put your food. Also, the shower stalls had a bench and hooks separated by a glass door from the actual shower.
