I had a single room and shared ablution, so half asleep left room for a toilet break, without my key pass??? Next 7 hours was fun in the lobby. Thankful for a fire to keep me warm and a spare doona, pillow given to me from a tenant or guest. One for the memory bank ;0)

I stayed at this property for the ease of the Dawn Service. Very convenient.

I had a private room. It was very quiet, had a fan and lovely view. Location is close to the beach and park with a quick walk to city centre. It’s a grand old building with lots of charm and very comfy bed. Dream sleep. Bathrooms clean.

Easy check in. Convenient location.

Very good ownér and wonderful helpful love it béßt evér

If you like modern and flashy, this is not for you. It's a beautiful old building a stone's throw from the stunning Newcastle beach. Had a double room with fan & TV, even a view of the sea! Perfect for my needs. Will be back :)

Staff was great and accomodating. Place was good, good value for price and good atmosphere overall.

Great plsce to stay amazing location

Everything was perfect

This is a drop of paradise i don’t know why more people don’t come here, the property is massive, old fashioned and well kept. Free surfboards and wet suits to borrow, the common areas are stunning and packed with things to do. If you're going up the east coast you have to stop here for a couple nights on your way up to brisbane or down to Sydney you won’t regret it. Seriously!

Loved our stay - stayed in a private room with my partner. The location is AMAZING so close to the beach and was able to walk to all the restaurants and bars. We even had an ocean view! Staff were very lovely too!

There was one lady staff who were so kind. Due to my knee injuries, she helped me look for a bottom bed bunk herself and found me the best shared room. Thank you so much indeed. I am still very grateful till this day. The areas around this YHA were really nice - refreshing and relaxing. I'm wishing to visit there again.

It was a great location, nice facilities and an easy time. We did have a car and it is paid parking all around the area is 2 hours between 9am - 6pm Mon-Friday. Nobby's and Mereweather Beach offer 4 hours free parking and I am sure there will be other locations to find around the area. Didn't affect our experience

Returned Every Year!!! Great YHA…. Has Everything You Needed!!!

It was very cozy and I loved the location. It was great to have access to the kitchen, bikes, ping pong, piano, surfboards, board games etc.

Fabulous YHA. Wish all where like this one. Feels like a home away from home.

Some problems due to workmen staying at the youth hostel. Wandering through corridors in tight, skimpy underpants, noisy, unfriendly. Also urine all over toilet seat in men's bathroom/toilets on first floor.

The location is excellent. It's close by to the light rail station and bus stop. It's also close to the beach! Plenty of dining option nearby. The facilities are also great. I especially like the lounge area. Most importantly, I feel safe staying there as a solo female traveller. Feedback: The pillow case and the blanket in my single room has stains on them.

This is a charming building and the staff were friendly, efficient, and helpful. It is in a very good location close to the city and the beach.

The staff were very friendly.
