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.

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.

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.

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.

I visited YHA Katooma with my now wife 10 years ago had better memory back then. The deco of the place did not change much and feeling a bit dated. As I am now older, I am expecting a bit more comfort, such as air con and bar fridge which is missing from YHA. Also, cleanliness could have been better as the room did not get cleaned if stayed for multiple days.

I liked that I could book a room with an en-suite. However, I thought it odd, that although a kettle was provided, there were no cups!

I think maybe having a row of large pots with pencil pines will make an eco friendly wind barrier where people sit outside in winter to enjoy outdoor area during the day. Or bunching up shrubs as a border around the seating can have uplighting as well to be nice to look at at night

We’ve never used a YHA before and thought at 79 we were probably way too old to start. However we were completely wrong it was perfect for our needs, quiet despite having 2 large groups of school children and the staff apologetic for the noise which we only heard when they were arriving at a reasonable time Right next door to an Aldi and on the main street of Katoomba it could not be more convenient. Our ensuite double was clean and comfortable and fully equipped.

An historic property, which is well kept, comfortable and well positioned. Very clean overall. Kitchen organised but with many people using it can get to needing an extra tidy. plenty of fridge space, but only one small freezer, so don't buy a packet of ice creams before checking there's room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Comfortable common areas to sit and read, watch tv, have a chat with other travelers. Needs comfortable, towels of good quality. Lovely outdoor areas to sit in the sun or cool evening air. Very secure. Will stay again and recommend to travelers on a budget.

Really fantastic staff. Everyone was super helpful, cheerful and professional. The kitchen is well supplied and the common areas are nice and inviting. It’s also a uniquely charming quasi-art deco building. Great location. Aldi next door. Wallies and a bottle shop around the corner. Many and varied restaurants within a few minutes walking. 20 minutes walk to a great hiking trail. If you’ve never been, the Blue Mountains are spectacular! A hiker’s paradise. Many beautiful trails easily accessed.
