Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
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!!
Clean, easy parking, warm room, pretty well sound proofed, easy checkin with the ATM type machine and checkout with only needing to play key into machines slot - fantastic for Covid safety. Rooms everything you needed for a weekend away.
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!

Best hostel experience I've had so far!
The staff are so kind and the place has a very warm and homely feel to it.
Great lounge and backyard and people actually socializing. Kitchen has everything including oil, milk and a lot of seasoning!
Breakfast is pretty basic but the bread was good.
The town is really charming as well.
Highly recommended! Would stay again.
Best hostel I've stayed at. So easy to meet people, great location, free breakfast, loved the family meals Ross made for us and loved the laid back vibes. Definitely stay here if you enjoy everything outdoors.
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!
