YHA Australia is a perfect budget accommodation. The latest hostels provide for both the single traveller through to the family.

With a hostel in every major city plus hundreds more scattered around the country you are sure of good accommodation waiting for you.

Over the past few years YHA Australia has upgraded many hostels, they now compete with the best hotels.

The online booking system is great with the ability to book and confirm reservations from overseas.

On arrival it is worth buying a phone card for very cheap wi fi

You have a choice of rooms (most with en-suite), all are very clean and comfortable. Other facilities available on site include laundry , kitchens as well as a cafe or restaurant. Some even have swimming pools and roof terraces.

The common areas are a great meeting place , where there is often bars or entertainment.

The larger hostels have travel shops and can book onward travel for you .

I have stayed at many hostels and met a great mix from teenagers to mature citizens all enjoying the facilities.

There is internet and other services at a reasonable costs .
