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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paper thin bed sheet. One tiny bathroom for fourteen people. Inaccessible light switches. No curtain on front windows. To few outlets in hard to reach areas.

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

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.

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!!

It’s a very old and a bit dilapidated building with dodgy narrow stairs. Room was so basic and a bit grungy. The room wasn’t ready which was annoying.
The best thing was the locality to everything.
Staff were inexperienced and when I ordered coffee I burnt my mouth from the scorching water.

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.

Backpackers in Paradise? More like Backpackers in Hell.
Kitchen had a massive insect infestation.
The 20 bed dorm is built over the bar which is starting the loud music already early in the morgen. When I asked to turn in off or lower it, the Employees just didn't care and said "It's a bar". Bathroom are filthy and never been cleaned. ACs are not working. It is loud in the night and even the employees don't care and are also loud loud talking in the dorms!

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.
