YHA Newcastle Beach

It’s a good hostel, clean, comfortable. However curtains on bunk beds is an absolute bare minimum requirement for a room costing over 60 dollars a night. A small amount of privacy for each guest would go a long way

It’s a shame that the hostel isn’t that great because the town is lovely. The staff are really nice. The kitchen is big and clean (most of the time save for some people’s inability to wash up their own stuff). I was not a fan of the rooms and the beds. There’s no aircon and the bunk beds are dated - every time the person above or below you moves, the whole bed moves.

Lovely property, super friendly staff. So close to the beach and transport. We had a lovely stay and would recommend the YHA Newcastle to anyone thinking of staying :))))

it was a decent place to stay - appreciated the price but also not somewhere I’d choose if I was looking to stay longer than a few nights but that’s just me

Had a wonderful time in the hostel and the staff are so lovely to chat to. Very clean areas and great location

overall amazing Hostel, perfect location great building. Only the quality of the beds was below average. Otherwise great staff, clean and an unbeatable location.

Great staff and great location. Bedroom didn’t have any air con just had a small desk fan which didn’t do much other then throw hot air around. Kitchen was spacious, lots of fridge and cupboard space.

Good hostel for a night / cause there’s no other options. The place is quiet old, there’s cockroaches in the kitchen and living room. Bed are moving so much that it’s like sleeping with your bed neighbour. However the location is good and the staff friendly and available

A very social accommodation with a perfect location near the beach and all major attractions.

Only stayed one night, staff were helpful organising late checkin information. location is great, 5 minute walk from lightrail. Large communal area was good. Dated interior but it adds to the quirkiness. appears to be alot of people staying longer term.

Great place for a relaxing stay. I liked the old style decor, the dorms are spacious, staff friendly, free surfboard rental, and good size kitchen / dining area however it was extremely hot in this area with no air flow or AC. I would stay again.

Actually loved this place more than I expected. Had a nice home feel. Great location and they offer so much free entertainment and gear.

massive hostel and not that many people, lots to do in building if you want a chill day you won’t be bored. beach is 30 second walk, pubs and restaurants around the corner. location is ideal, place is nice, people talk. showers not the cleanest but overall nice place

Overall a good place to stay!

Wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness and overall atmosphere which is a shame. There was a man walking round aimlessly with his dog. I love dogs, but would I want a dog walking round a hostel during my stay? I also spotted a man gut a raw fish on the kitchen surface (no chopping board), who couldn’t turn on the gas cooker. Left the gas running though. Bathrooms were manageable. Location was good and common room was nice. Wouldn’t rush back

YHA Newcastle was a lovely big hostel with lots of space and had an older feel to it (dated interior). The staff were very friendly and informative about what there is to do in Newcastle. The hostels location itself is perfect. However, due to it being such a big hostel it felt a bit empty at times and not very social, saying that I made some really good friends. The hostel always had a level of cleanliness to it. Overall, the hostel does the job and would stay again if I was to visit the area.

It was a really good hostel, well located, with the beach very near by foot. And also all supermarket, coffee places, restaurants. The staff was welcoming, warm and nice. The bedroom was as expected so nothing to say about that. I found it just a bit disappointing that they were not a lot of stuff organised by night. Still would recommend it.

Wouldn’t recommend staying here, no a/c in rooms says ceiling fans but it’s a small desk attached to wall which doesn’t reach the bunks and it was insanely hot. The bunks are old and make so much noise and no curtains. The bathrooms were disgusting smelt so bad and bins overflowed on to the floor all the time.the whole place smelt like mould. Strange atmosphere here with the guests didn’t feel safe as solo female traveller.

Best Hostel I stayed in on my east coast trip! Great common area, close to the beach and free surfboard rental

Auberge située juste à côté de la plage avec pas mal d'activités proposées, donc sympa ! Joli bâtiment, par contre les sanitaires/douches ne sont vraiment pas cleans (et en plus peu nombreux). Il faisait également très chaud dans les chambres, qui étaient elles assez petites... Bref, ça passe mais c'est loin d'être la meilleure auberge que j'ai faite.
