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.
