WINNER of the Best Backpacker Accommodation category at the 2004-2005 Australian Tourism Awards and the 2004 and 2005 NSW Tourism Awards!
The Blue Mountains YHA is truly the biggest and the best hostel in the Blue Mountains.
Situated in the heart of Katoomba, it is just a few minutes walk from the World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park. The National Trust classified YHA brings the glory days of Katoomba in the 1920s and '30s back to life. The fully renovated art-deco guest-house retains its original charm (as well as its stage and sprung dance floor!). Of course, it also has all the great modern facilities and high levels of security and cleanliness you would expect from a YHA. The hostel received four and a half star rating (****+) by AAA Tourism for Bacpacker facilities.
Accommodation is available in a choice of multi-share rooms, twins, doubles or family rooms (many with ensuite bathrooms). The building and rooms are accessible by key-cards 24hrs a day.
There's a big communal area to relax in, a spacious kitchen, TV lounge, internet terminals, pool table, arcade games, reading room (with book exchange), central heating, open fires, outside vernadah, giant chessboard, BBQ area, plenty of parking (cars and bikes!) and heaps of information on what to see or do in the area. Bed linen is supplied and there is also a laundry for guests to use and lockers to store your luggage.
Our reception is open all day from 7am until 10pm. Our friendly local staff know all about the area and are happy to help you pick and book the right activity to suit you. The YHA is very popular on weekends, in the summer months and during Yulefest (Christmas in July) so book ahead to avoid disappointment.
As part of the Hostelling International (HI) network, all rates quoted are for YHA or HI members. Non-members are charged an extra $3.50 per person per night upon check-in or may purchase a full HI membership for $37 (valid around the world for 1 year).
The Blue Mountains YHA has been voted the BEST hostel in Australia by both guests and industry - come and see why!
