Great money value to stay at the YHA Newcastle. The location id so close to the beach and the cafes. It is a good chose to spend the night at this place when you on the way going up to Queensland.

The YHA is clean and comfortable with helpful staff. The location is fantastic, close to beach, harbour restaurants and cafes.

Paul Australia

Brilliant hostel. I extended my stay on my second day, it was a really comfortable environment, dorm rooms were spacious, lockers were a decent size and bedding was pretty comfortable as far as hostel beds go. Kitchen was big and there's loads of fridge space and table space to eat your food. Showers and toilets were pretty clean, not sparkling but they were cleaned every day. Staff were really helpful and accommodating, even before I arrived as my bus arrived in the middle of the night when reception wasn't open.
