Located in the centre of the Blue Mountains, No.14 Lovel St is just 500 metres from Katoomba train station. All guests also have access to Blue Mountains Bag Storage service, just one minute's walk from Katoomba train station, to store bags before & after their stay, with discounted rates for extended storage. A lovely quaint place with good and clean facilities. The owner was also incredibly nice and accommodating with my requests. Would stay again.

Set in Katoomba, 2 km from Katoomba Scenic World, YHA Blue Mountains Katoomba offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are featured.

You can play billiards at the hostel, and the area is popular for cycling. Kitchen was humongous and kept very clean, with massive fridges and freezers. Multiple sinks and hobs also meant I never felt like I had to jostle for space even though it was always quite busy. Really comfy dining area with power outlets for laptops. My 4-bed room was spacious and thoughtfully furnished with clothing rails, a large shelf, two chairs ('chairdrobes'), which makes it so much easier to get organised.

Located in Katoomba, Flying Fox Backpackers features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is situated 3.1 km from Katoomba Scenic World, 2.9 km from The Three Sisters and 3.1 km from Three Sisters Cable Car. Such an awesome place with kind staff. Ross was great and helped us with every question we had about tracks, supermarkets, whatever. The place is really nice and homey, with an authentic backpacker feel to it. Breakfast was delicious, with everything you need and plenty of it. Ross was so great that one night we came home to find he had cooked dinner for everyone, just so we’d sit together and enjoy. The place was very clean, well furnished, and the kitchen was great for meal-making. The location was excellent — only a five-minute drive to every interesting track in Katoomba. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Set 2.4 km from Katoomba Scenic World, Katoomba Mountain Lodge offers 2-star accommodation in Katoomba and has a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 2.3 km from The Three Sisters.

At the hostel the rooms come with a shared bathroom. I’ve paid 75$ for a single solo room, looks like an old nun room and I LOVED IT. The men at the reception is just the nicest, offering me the soup they made and show me with passion th view from the balcony before taking me to my room. So YES it’s rustic old and not perfectly clean but really good value for money and quick trip! Plus the toilet were very clean and that’s what matter the most to me.
