Reviews of YHA Blue Mountains

  • "Pleasant surprise. Our group of six were very happy with our stay at YHA Katoomba. The rooms are large and clean. Staff were very helpful and polite. Sarah went over and above to make our stay really awesome. The kitchen is huge, clean and well appointed. The lounge area is attractive and great, with plenty of room and activities for all ages. Being located so close to the town centre is very convenient. I was not expecting this to be such a good experience. I will certainly stay here again. I highly recommend this place." - Yohannan
  • "Beautiful and cozy place. That place is so cozy and adorable! I felt like visiting my family. Atmoaphere was amazing, it was raining outside and people would gather around fireplace, puzzling some puzzles, cooking food and talking about their adventures. Staff was super kind and not only helped with advice, but also engaged in talks. Superb." - Elina
