Location, friendly owner, boardgames

There’s only two very weak shower. I don’t really mind the building is old, however, I didn’t feel it’s worth the price.

"Great stay to explore the blue mountains"

9.0

Great location. The owner was really kind and gave very useful tips for hikes around the area. The room smelled great and the accomodation was generally very clean. I recommend this stay if you want to save a little money but still have great comfort and a nice sleep.

The only negative thing was that there were only two toilets inside (and one outside). Little to do anything about, just expect some waiting time for the toilet. There was generally no queue however, maybe just a 5-10 min wait at the most.

"Cosy stay"

7.0

Easy walk from Katoomba Station. Friendly people staying there. A working fireplace in the lounge room. Bass guitar, other guitars and drums!

Dusty dorm room. Floor has holes covered by a rug. Mouldy bathroom. Toilet outside without sink or soap that I could see.

"Super leuk hostel!"

9.0

De kamer was niet te heet en er hing een gezellige sfeer zonder een party hostel te zijn

De lucht in de badkamer was soms wat naar

Smaller hostel, with a lot of friendly people. Very welcoming. Also, if your on a budget or you want to be on your own, the tents are a good option.
