We really enjoyed our stay. The hostel is in a great location and we made full use of the kitchen and the pool table! The room and common areas could do with a more thorough clean but it was a good value stay for us as a family. We enjoyed walking from the hostel and seeing the beautiful views of the Blue Mountains.

A well located spot with wonderfully welcoming staff. Our family of 4 including two primary aged kids enjoyed playing ping pong and pool. Super convenient to yummy places to eat like The Yellow Deli across the road and Aldi, Woolworths and Big W just around the corner. A great shared kitchen, common room and dining space. Had a great community feel with fellow travellers being very considerate to each other.
