I had a great stay at Aquarius. I upgraded to the studio room which was a loft style private room which was very nice. Both staff and the other lodgers were incredibly social. I participated in the 4:45am lighthouse tour and the ping pong tournament both of which were really well attended (and free!) Traveling solo it was awesome to meet some new people at the hostel!

Unfortunately a lot of the parking area was closed for the one night I was there, so had to park on the street and feed a meter until 6pm as it was only one hour parking. The info on the place stated no noise after 11.00pm, but I heard yelling and screaming regularly throughout the night, mostly from the girls who were probably "over refreshed" from the bar or coming back from a night out! Granted, I'm in my 60s and probably don't cope with that too well nowadays. It was deathly silent in the morning at 7am when I got up, and no wonder! Still, a nice enough place with lovely staff and facilities

Great location, friendly staff, very social hostel. I stayed in a private room which was clean. Very social atmosphere. They hosted game nights and other events which was fun. Only downside is that the walls were a bit thin so you could head noise from people partying.

First time staying in a backpackers. Hope all backpackers are like this! We had a suite room with own bathroom and bed area but the staff were friendly and room was clean, tidy and good amenities.

For $120 per night my room 4a was very good value. The bed was comfy, bathroom was quite large and it had a quirky feel about it that I loved. Also it us will located within a 3 minute stroll to the beach. Also well placed for shops, bars abd restaurants. Great place to stay

It was really great. Perfect location near restaurants, cafes and a short walk to the beach. We had a great time. The pool and bar area was awesome, great vibes and friendly staff.

Great value for money and location in the heart of town. Walking distance to shops, bars and the beach.

There were activities happening every night at the bar and very great deals during happy hour!

The wonderful helpful and honest people working here..

The ceiling fan barely worked so it was incredibly hot trying to sleep, incredibly hot! I ended up getting up and soaking my shirt with water to try and sleep. Super noisy constantly getting woken up by people shouting, even the security shouting that someone spewed in the dorm and he had to clean it up. I am all for partying and having a good time so it’s not really their fault there’s just no soundproofing.

very good location, but because it is a backpacker stay - it was pretty loud at night. Though would be great for people looking for parties.

Very very noisy . I had a private room but I could hear people talking , showering in theirs . It's a backpacker hostel so I expected noise but not this much . I wouldn't stay again. I would pay more elsewhere .
