Thankyou for the stay and look forward to returning again. ##### Cody Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gabrielle May 30, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Decent hostel.

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 ##### Daisy Rose Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryon Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great hostel. Quick getaway to party. Didn't expect to meet a bloke name Luke who happened to stay here also and at Wicked Pub crawl. Great value for money. Just wish the top bunk i was on had power outlet. 10 min walk from Cavil Ave. Highly recommend great staff too ##### Bryon Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Thank you Fantastic had no idea of being a back packers venue at all stayed end of gold coast Alfred cyclone had particularly nothing yet greeted and looked after with my partner so kindly the bedroom was so clean welcoming bathroom clean and big had a very safe comfortable place to stay thank you to the man at reception for all your all your helo ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gabrielle May 30, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness 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 Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Oct 7, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Erik Nov 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anita May 17, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities The staff were fabulous when I requested to move room after finding considerable mould. Overall the cleanliness was pretty atrocious, but you get that when you can trade cleaning for free nights. Overall, the vibe of the place is chill and kinda cool and the location is great - far enough away to be quiet, but close enough to easily walk to everything, including the beach. ##### Anita Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good enough I had trouble with the booking and had to pay twice which was a bit annoying, but after e-mailing with them they managed to sort it out smoothly and I got my money back (from the second withdrawal). It was comfortable enough for one rainy night, with a lot of backpackers at the place! Nothing fancy but definitely worth the price. The female dorm with 4 beds had its own bathroom in the room which was a plus!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Graham Oct 27, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 1st we had to wait by their check in for approximately 45 minutes because the staff member decided she needed a break and just disappeared. 2nd all though the room was clean it was rather run down. Eg. Some lights didn’t work. Plug in vanity jammed so water couldn’t drain away. On a positive note the bed was very comfortable. 3rd. They have permanent residence living there. At 1.30 am Saturday night were fighting with other guests at the top of their lungs and throwing wheelie bins around the court yard. I would not recommend this place to anyone and won’t be booking with them ever again. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaime Dec 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really well organised hostel, excellent value, good vibes and lovely helpful staff 20/10 ##### Jaime Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damian Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and value for money, the staff are friendly and keep on top of everything which is great, will be staying here again in the future. ##### Damian Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damian Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall great place ##### Damian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jaye Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Need a tv ##### Jaye Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### George Jan 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place, very friendly staff ##### George ### 6/10 Okay #### Jayson Jul 5, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities It was okay just had little issues with cleanliness and windows not locking felt uneasy leaving belongings there. ##### Jayson Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Yin Sing Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beds were extremely uncomfortable. The area was often unclean. There are people walking in and out of the room throughout the evening; it was extremely hard to sleep well. The bathroom and shower area has a lot of grime; evidently have not been cleaned in a long time. ##### Yin Sing Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Neptune Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Neptune-Resort.h980659.Hotel-Information) > > [3BR, 2BA Unit with Pool, Parking & BBQ in Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Stunning-Unit-Hope-Island-Resort.h113370502.Hotel-Information) > > [Pacific Sands Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Mackay-Hotels-Direct-Hotels-Pacific-Sands.h10424813.Hotel-Information) > > [Boulevard Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Boulevard-Towers.h3935892.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy Point Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Sandy-Point-Beach-Resort.h2159066.Hotel-Information) > > [Broadbeach Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Broadbeach-Studios.h19708845.Hotel-Information) > > [Cascade Motel In Townsville](https://www.expedia.ca/Townsville-Hotels-Cascade-Motel-In-Townsville.h22899.Hotel-Information) > > [Lowanna Beach Resort by Direct Collective](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Lowanna-Beach-Resort-Direct-Collective.h109830934.Hotel-Information) > > [Joanne Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Joanne-Apartments.h9720912.Hotel-Information) > > [Oaks Gold Coast Calypso Plaza Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Oaks-Gold-Coast-Calypso-Plaza-Suites.h2816385.Hotel-Information) > > [The Currumbin Treehouse - Sauna/Ice bath/Float tank/Pool/Spa.
