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
- "Awesome! Probably the coolest staff I have encountered on all my travels. The hostel is beautiful, very clean with a great location and attracts quality travellers too. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!" - Lala
