Seven reasons to stay at a hostel

You can stay with your friends

There’s nothing more fun than going on a holiday with your friends, and you can all stay together in the same room with YHA. Our hostels have private rooms for one or two people as well as larger rooms with four, six or eight beds if you’re travelling with a bigger group. All of our rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious, and many have ensuite bathrooms.

Hostels are safe

Our rooms have secure key card access, lockers for your belongings, and separate bathrooms for men and women. You will always be safe and secure when you stay with YHA, whether you’re travelling solo or with your friends.

And they’re in great locations

YHA has a network of 80 hostels in every state and territory all over Australia – so wherever you want to visit, you will be able to find one of our hostels to stay in. Plus, our properties are always situated in convenient locations, close to all the major attractions.

YHA can organise tours

What activities do you want to do in Australia? Cuddle a koala? Learn to surf? Feed a kangaroo? Visit the Great Barrier Reef? YHA can help you organise everything – just ask hostel reception about booking a tour that you and your friends are interested in.

You will save money

Hostels are much cheaper than a hotel or a short-term rental apartment – and when you book online at yha.com.au, you are guaranteed to get the best price on your accommodation. Plus, YHA hostels have fully equipped kitchens so you can cook your own meals rather than spend money eating at restaurants, as well as fun free activities every night.

Hostels are clean

Don’t worry – just because you’re sharing a room with other people, it doesn’t mean that hostels aren’t clean. You will receive fresh sheets when you arrive, the rooms are cleaned every day and the bathrooms are cleaned regularly.

You can meet new people

All hostels have comfortable common rooms where you can sit down to chat to your friends, share photos on your phone or computer, watch a movie, eat a meal… or meet new friends! YHA brings together friendly travellers from all over the world, which is one of the most fun things about staying in a hostel.
