YHA Newcastle Beach

The location is exceptional, right next to the beach, a light rail station, and a bus stop. We stayed in a private room, and it was very nice, clean, and exceeded our expectations. Great communal space and activities for people to do.

location, easy access to top of town. Was a nice heritage building.

Not really accessible in wheelchair. Lots of stairs.

Fabulous old world building. Great facilities and location is perfect. Very friendly staff.

Excellent location, right by the beach! Staff were friendly and there was also option to use the surfboards and bicycles for free! Has a full kitchen, clean with plenty of utensils available, and a lovely social/lounge area with pool tables and other activities.

The bed/rooms were okay for the price, but certainly I have stayed in other YHAs that have better facilities - for example only have 2 powerpoints, and one small fan for the whole room wasn't great. Especially for a hot night. The building lacks some infrastructure for use as a hostel - there was only 2 toilets and 2 showers on my floor, both were mixed gender, and both quite old. One of the toilets was disgustingly clogged and unusable. I prefer the YHAs that have large, modern shower blocks available.
