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. Great short term hostel for people travelling through Katoomba & the Blue Mountains. Feels very homey and accomodating, almost like a temporary, very clean share-house. The staff was also very nice and helpful! Would stay here again!

Among the facilities at this property are an ATM and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, karaoke and a shared kitchen. This exceeded expectations for a hostel. It was right in the city center and a 3 minute walk to a gorgeous beach. The location is unbeatable! The staff were super friendly and it had a huge communal kitchen and living space. I had a private room and found the beds to be comfy and loved that they provided warm comfy bedding and clean new white towel.
