10/10 Excellent

A really comfy place to stay… very walkable from the heart of the city and near the beach. Excellent service for the price that we paid.
Cami, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach and main clubs. Majority of the staff were exceptional however there was one point where we were in our room ill and a cleaner came into our room ‘to clean’ and wouldn’t leave for a solid 5 minutes of us asking. The cleanliness of our room was also questionable with stains and dirt all over the floor but the overall atmosphere is really friendly

Decent hostel. Kitchen was small, narrow, and dirty but still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a good veggie burger.

Home away from home.

My stay was great! Staff made the stay even more enjoyable with entertainment and a quiz to bring everyone together. The entertainment host Mia was terrific in doing so. Thankyou for the stay and look forward to returning again.

Amazing Staff

I arrived for check in a couple of hours early and the Staff were so nice & accommodating. They went out their way to get my room ready because I had to go out & wasn’t back till late.
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Convenience to beach access. Pillows were almost flat and real hard mattress.
Monica, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Decent hostel. Kitchen was dirty, narrow and small (basically a hallway), but was still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a great veggie burger. Central to bus station and downtown. Not sure if I would stay again.
Gabrielle, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Old and dirty. Felt like staying at a bar, loud music playing from 10 am to 10 pm. Lots of drunks shouting. Would never stay there again. Offered a free coffee for a good review, I think that says something about it.
2-night trip

4/10 Poor

No air condition system

Acomodation was sauna hot. Couldnt fall asleep till 3am. A guy from another room toled me most rooms are hot. The rest was good. Friendly people and good backpacking experiance in the yard and around the little pool. Kitchen looked good and bar too
Erik, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Affordable and great for young people

Pretty basic accommodation- you get what you pay for. It's great for young people who want to meet other young people from around the world. There's some opportunities to pay for accommodation by working in housekeeping. Good location - 10mins from the beach and all the amenities. There's a fully licensed bar, a swimming pool, fully kitted kitchen, and laundry facilities. Highly recommended if you want somewhere affordable to stay in Surfer's Paradise.

The room/bathroom was disgusting and they binned my belongings on my second last day. They also play music until very late hours.
Monica, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room and the bathroom were very dirty. Their restaurant supposed to be open at 7:00 a.m. was not open still at 8am. Other guests very noisy with no consideration all hours of the night
Marion, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It's a party hostel, which is all good! just make sure you expect a lot of mess and a lot of noise, but you get what you pay for, its the cheapest hostel in surfers! and does have good hang out spaces but again there will always be people drinking and being rowdy.
sara, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Cockroaches in bathrooms, cockroaches in dining area and in common areas. Dirty, lots of black mold in bathrooms and showers. Hot, smelly rooms. Rickety beds, swayed plenty when going up or down bunk beds.
