My room was really comfortable and very relaxing.
I had dinner at the hotel restaurant it was delicious and affordable.
The staff where wonderful to talk to and accommodating to all of my needs.
The Coolangatta Sands hotel overall has a great vibe.
I will definitely be staying at the Coolangatta Sands hotel in the near future.

The location is the best. And only think I liked.
I've stayed at this Hotel before, I never understood why not improving the quality of their service and facilities having such good location, many people would be willing to pay more.
I only stayed for one night while on surf trip with my mate, I'm glad I didn't take my family there. The place looked worse than the previous time I booked with them. The facilities don't need a major upgrade only some TLC. Eg. Glass door going upstairs keeps banging the same as 3 years ago.. why not putting a stopper / piece of rubber to prevent the loud noise?

It is close to the Uni. That proximity is good. But I can never go back there. The next part explains why.
The staff were atrocious ab initio (from the start). I had to wait for them, to begin with. Then they asked me for my passport instead of my driver's licence. I wonder why. It went downhill from there.

Locatie en vriendelijk personeel. Prima prijs (sliep in de dorm en deze had wel airco
De ‘prive’ douches worden inderdaad erg vies zoals ook aangegeven in de andere reviews. De volledige badkamer staat onder water. Simpel op te lossen door een verhoging te maken, dus snap niet waarom dat niet gebeurt.

Location was perfect, 2min walk to a point break on Kirra beach. Felt safe and secure. My be was comfortable and my bed linen and towels were very clean.
The air conditioner was broken, I had to change rooms. The skylights, windows, blinds, curtains and lockers need some work! Starting to look very tired

The staff are very friendly and make an effort to make you feel welcome.
My room could have done with some TLC. A repaint and upgrade to the furniture would have been nice - and I noticed one of the lockers was broken, so a padlock couldn't be put on it. The room itself felt like a prison cell - very cold and shabby.
Some of the bathrooms operate like wetrooms - i.e., a shower in the corner of the room with a toilet in the other corner. The drainage was terrible, so the floors would be covered in grit and water, so it was unpleasant to walk in.
The bottom of the building operates as a bookies and a bar/restaurant. The staff in the restaurant were very friendly, and the food is good. The clientele in the bookies are less than desirable and attract negative energy to the overall experience.

Location and history
Loud Mexican girl on phone at 6 am and people wearing thongs (flip flops) shuffling along in corridor making noise on way to shared bathrooms during sleep times. Lack of etiquette of some people staying in the hostel rooms.

La struttura era okay, bagni perfetti e cucina perfetta e pulita aperta h24, vicino la spiaggia e al supermercato.
Ci sono bus fino a tarda sera se si vuole andare in centro “surfer paradise” ma il quartiere di coolangatta è bellissimo!
Siamo andate via per delle divergenze nostre, ma la struttura è ottima, consiglio :)

The sands hotel is in an excellent location. Staff were very friendly, and the meals were great value for money.

Location. They only book bottom bunks in dorm rooms so it's never too crowded. Outdoor balcony is great and food and beer in restaurant is good too.
Whole place could do.with a renovation. It's just a bit old and tired looking.
