About us:
At YHA Australia, we provide affordable, quality accommodation with purpose. We're committed to creating a more open and welcoming world where connections thrive and experiences matter.
What sets us apart? We're a not-for-profit, membership-based social enterprise, where profits go straight back into improving our properties and creating positive social, cultural and environmental impacts. For over 80 years, we've been making travel accessible and transformative.
Our network spans 20 uniquely characterful properties across Australia – from the rooftop views of Sydney Harbour YHA to historic cells at Fremantle Prison to eco-retreats nestled in National Parks and beachside beauties in Byron Bay and Port Elliot.
We're proudly part of Hostelling International – a global community of 3,000+ places to stay across 70+ countries. We believe travel should do more than move you from place to place, it should move you to think differently, live boldly, and protect the world you're exploring.
YHA Hobart provides ideal accommodation with 28 rooms and 110 beds, being the most centrally located traveller lodging in Hobart, just one block from the city's waterfront. The hostel is conveniently situated within walking distance to the MONA museum ferry at Constitution Dock, Salamanca Place, and numerous bars, restaurants, and cafes.
