This has to be the best hostel I have ever stayed in!! It is right on the main street of Katoomba, around 15mins to the train station and across the road from a large supermarket. The beauty of this hostel is apparent from the minute you open the front door. There are a lot of wonderful art deco features, such... more

The Blue Mountains Backpackers When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was the cleanliness. I was on my own and was instantly made to feel welcome by the friendly staff upon check in. I stayed in a double room which had en-suite it was quite spacious and the bed was comfortable. At night time there was no noise or... more

this is by far the nicest hostel that I have ever stay in. It is walking distance for everything in Katoomba (the train station, the 3 Sisters, restaurants, night life). The staff takes care of you like you are family. I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to visit the Blue Mountains. more

I have never stayed in a hostel or any backpacker hotels before and I must say that I am surprised by how clean YHA was. I am fussy about bathrooms and I am very pleased that the bathrooms are well maintained and clean. Overall, for the price that I paid, it was worth it. more

During our stay in Australia our plan was to drive from Sydney to Brisbane, passing through the Blue Mountains. Having had difficulty in finding somewhere to stay in the area before we arrived in the country we popped into the Tourist Information Office at Darling Harbour to see if they could help. With all hotels full, the YHA at Katoomba... more

The YHA Katoomba is a very beautiful hostel. We stayed for one night in a double ensuite room. The clean and quiet rooms are named after local waterfalls and decorated with waterfall fotos. The staff is very friendly and helps you find the perfect walk for you in the Blue Mountains. YHA Katoomba is also a very good place to... more

My friend insisted on staying here as her guidebook claimed it was "the best hostel in Australia". I must disagree on this point! However, it is a nice hostel, housed in a historica guesthouse. Our three person ensuite room was a bit threadbare - thinning carpet, a little peeling paint but otherwise clean and adequate. There's a large eating/lounge area... more

We stayed in the Blue Mountains for 3 nights while on our vacation around Australia. This hostel has to be one of the most memorable as it is in a refurbished, updated, historic guest house. With 15 feet ceilings and plentity of communal rooms, large guest rooms, central location, this hostel is a fantastic deal and one should definitely consider... more

Absolutely super YHA probably best every stayed in, looks and feels like an Alpine Lodge. Clean, HUGE kitchen and dining area. Also separate keys for ladies and gents for showers/toilets so really good security for young ladies. Staff at reception could be a bit more friendly. Also quite a walk from the train station, could set up shuttle service. more
