A very nice location just near the beach and tram stop in a historic house. Very nice staff. My second time here, and I hope not the last one. Very nice shared area downstairs.

Convenient location, close to all amenities. Value for money.

Ilex Australia

Very clean hostel, nice staff and people in here, perfect location, not even 5mins to the beach and walking distance to other interesting places. Big common space (kitchen and living room). If I go back to Newcastle, I will definitely book this hostel again !

Sorya Cambodia

Everything is perfect. Location is very convenient, super close to the beach, the lightrail, and everything else. Staff is awesome, friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, treat you like friends. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious, comfortable, and clean. Value for money is also great. I would definitely recommend Newcastle Beach YHA!

Andreavb1985 Brazil

Really great location, close to Nobbys beach, the tram line and coffee shops. The building is a historic building with lovely high ceilings. The rooms were spacious and clean. I was in a bunk bed and the bunk did not squeak- always a bonus!

Terry-ava Australia

Clean and comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and great location. Also very cheap.
