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. Perfect little hostel! One of the best we've stayed at (and we have been to a lot). We stayed in a private room which was great. The kitchen was clean, well organized with many items available for use. Very nice to have breakfast options as well. We made good use of the games and puzzles available. The surrounding area is beautiful and the hostel is walking distance to many hikes.
