I like the YHA as an older person. I have traveled on my own my last 2 visits and I enjoy the communal space you don't feel isolated. Hotels are to impersonal.

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.

Average hostel in a gorgeous historic building
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.

Very, very clean. Staff were all helpful and lovely. The building has a few little things that show its age, however you expect that with the age of the building. I felt warm, clean and safe during my stay. Would definitely return.
