Nothing flashy, but had everything we need. The social areas of this hostel are really good, and the kitchen is well stocked.

I have traveled on my own my last 2 visits and I enjoy the communal space you don't feel isolated. Hotels are to impersonal. ##### Patricia Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy Jul 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Perfect for relaxation and energise yourself with nature that surrounds you. ##### Randy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very well located, cheap and cheerful. It's a very old property and the standard of accommodation reflects that. We had a private room with ensuite which was very dated, but suited our needs for a single night. Staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that there is no TV in the rooms or anywhere on the property that I could see. If that's important to you then this won't suit. There are generous shared common areas, kitchen etc. It's more of a young person's venue/backpacker style of accommodation (we are retirees), but fine for a night or two if older, families etc. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor Dec 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Staff are extremely helpful and understanding ##### Trevor Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandrine Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Big house with facilities inside and outside.

The rooms are cozy and the breakfast is simple yet delicious. The service is also really good. Flavia was a great help and her colleagues were really kind as well. We particularly loved the hall where we could read and eat. Really really great. Thank you. ##### Nathan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory Nov 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good location and great price. Clean room and bathrooms. The kitchen was a little messy in the morning. ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great location right in the heart of Katoomba shopping and restaurant district. Easy walk from train station. Buses to echo point are a 2 min short walk away. You can also walk to echo point (30mins). YHA rooms are clean. Building and facilities are a little dated and could do with a upgrade. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Room comfort #### Average hostel in a gorgeous historic building Reasonably priced and very central. Good breakfast, but extortionately priced by student standards ($12 I think). I couldn’t afford it so brought some small groceries from the supermarket. Staff were friendly, but a bit checked out. Could definitely use a deep cleaning as they smell like a locker room. Bathrooms were reasonably clean. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Charming old lodge Generally clean and comfortable hostel housed in a very old historic 19th century building, which of course shows signs of its age with creaking floors throughout. The building itself is beautiful and definitely has a lot of character and charm. Pros: Very central, less than a 10 minute walk from the train station, and only one block from the bus to Echo Point & the Three Sisters. Cons? Expensive breakfast for a hostel, and no free tea/coffee (which unfortunately is the norm in Australia). Diverse clientele of all ages. Common areas were clean, inviting, but the dorm rooms could definitely use some refurbishment and smelled of sweat. Overall, a reasonably comfortable stay and I would consider it for a repeat visit. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Zara Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a good stay ##### Zara Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near 17 Avenue SW](https://www.expedia.ca/17-Avenue-SW-Hotels.0-l6290054-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Disneyland® Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Disneyland-Paris-Hotels.0-l6035062-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180032-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d180002-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) > > [Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels-Temple-Gardens-Hotel-Spa.h1627315.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Nova Scotia](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Nova-Scotia-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d11173-tPetfriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Caribbean Palm Village Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Noord-Hotels-Caribbean-Palm-Village-Resort.h1153663.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Oregon Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon-Coast-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6051538-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [C'mon Inn Fargo](https://www.expedia.ca/Fargo-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Fargo.h1214739.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/mco/buffalo-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to British Columbia (YZZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yzz/edmonton-to-trail) > > [Flights from Kathmandu (KTM) to Lukla (LUA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ktm/lua/kathmandu-to-lukla) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Kingston (YGK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ygk/montreal-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/bna/moncton-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Medicine Hat (YXH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yxh/toronto-to-medicine-hat) ### Cars ### Packages
