The Blue Mountains YHA exceeded all expectations! From the friendly, efficient check-in to going above and beyond to accommodate our last-minute room change, the staff made our stay unforgettable. Their local knowledge was invaluable, offering great advice on trails and reassuring less confident walkers in our group. The YHA itself was cozy, well-maintained, and the perfect base for exploring the stunning Blue Mountains. Thanks to the amazing staff, our holiday was truly special.

Lovely hostel - feels more like a hotel. So clean and the beds are super comfortable. Not a very sociable place in my experience, but still had the best stay there. The staff were all incredibly friendly too :)

This was a very cosy hostel in the mountains. Very calming place with lots of games (pool, ping pong, minigolf, puzzles etc.) to keep you entertained on the cool nights. Close to the station and town centre and only 20 mins walk to the mountains. Also had the biggest kitchen in any hostel I've stayed in. You need a few nights in the Blue Mountains to really appreciate it.
