The ambiente was amazing, the people very nice, family dinners once or twice a week. Felt more like a home and less than a hostel. The guy owning it is super nice and can give a lot of tips where to go in the blue mountains

All hostels in Katoomba

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, very walkable to and from aside from a minor hill directly outside the lodge. The community-lodge style felt very welcoming and friendly, and I loved being able to interact with the other travellers. The room was very clean and cozy, and very warm despite the freezing winter months, and felt secure and safe to stay in.

    I adored this YHA! It's one of the best hostels I stayed in in Australia. It's in a beautiful building with a big kitchen, big common room and nice garden. I booked a queen room which was great price-quality. The YHA is about 10-15 min walk from the station and about 15-20 min walk from the three sisters. Great location to di some hiking, or to just hide out from the fog and rain with a good book. Staff is great and they offer a very nice breakfast buffet

    It is a mixture of hotel and youth hostel, the vibe is a lot more peaceful than other youth hostels, which I prefer. Plenty of seats in the lounge for you to rest or get work done. Good location, right in the middle of Katoomba town, close to supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. Free parking spaces at the back.

    Fiona and Ross are really pleasant and wonderful owners. They take care of you. Great for backpackers and also couples as well. Very convenient place close to the heart of Katoomba, its shopping centers, railway station and its eat streets. Beautiful property, very lively vibe. Best hostel I've lived in Hands down!!

    Room was clean & comfortable with heating that we could control that was quick & effective. Good size bathroom with towels provided. Safe & secure with security doors around the property. Surprisingly quiet after 10pm for a hostel. Large comfortable communal areas & kitchen with plenty of fridge storage.

    The best hostel I've ever been so far! Very homey and cozy. I could have seen that the owner really cares about the environment from many little things. Handmade cakes and cookies, free tea and coffe. What else can I say? Just magic!

    One of the best hostels I've been to in Australia! The house is cute, comfortable and in a great location close to the shops but also to many sights in the Blue Mountains. All the facilities are clean and the kitchen is well equipped with enough space to store your food. Would definitely recommend staying here!
