We really enjoyed our stay. The hostel is in a great location and we made full use of the kitchen and the pool table! The room and common areas could do with a more thorough clean but it was a good value stay for us as a family. We enjoyed walking from the hostel and seeing the beautiful views of the Blue Mountains.

A well located spot with wonderfully welcoming staff. Our family of 4 including two primary aged kids enjoyed playing ping pong and pool. Super convenient to yummy places to eat like The Yellow Deli across the road and Aldi, Woolworths and Big W just around the corner. A great shared kitchen, common room and dining space. Had a great community feel with fellow travellers being very considerate to each other.

Great location, great value

We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom and it was great for a cheap price! Nothing flashy, but had everything we need. The social areas of this hostel are really good, and the kitchen is well stocked. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay close to Scenic World or 3 sisters (30 mins walk)

I like the YHA as an older person. 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.

Perfect location and great service

It's located nearby several hiking paths, waterfalls and rain forests. 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.
