    My room wasn't so clean, but I think I was just unlucky, not sure how the cleaning schedule is done, but I did see some rooms with the doors open that looked much more clean than mine 🤔🤷‍♀️ Kitchen needs a good check, pretty sure a lot of stuff needed to be binned because it belonged to past customers. And maybe get some couch and sofa covers to be easier to change and wash from time to time 😉

    Location was great. The showers were the best I have found in hostels so far, shower door instead of curtains 👌 the toilets and showers were very clean.

    My room was a lil messy, but I think this was more down to one of the girls in there than the hostel itself

    Showers were actually amazing, though they don’t look it - it was pretty quiet and I like that in a hostel. Kitchen was huge!! Loads of areas to chill too!

    A very noisy air conditioner or some kind of motor was running all night in the courtyard below my window making it very hard to sleep. It’s not on the hostels property, so their is nothing they can do about it :(

    Great location and friendly staff. Brilliant value for money :)

    The place could be a little cleaner, and privacy curtains on the beds would be helpful.

    Jetty Blue provides basic accommodation for travelers to Coffs Harbour. The location is superb, only a few minutes walk from the main beaches, as well as the cafes and restaurants nearby. The beds are comfortable, with sockets available in the room (although often not right next to the bed), and the shower/toilet areas are also good quality. The laundry is great despite there being only one machine (plus two dryers), and the kitchen/dining area is fantastic! The pool is also really nice. Big shout out to the very helpful and welcoming Jacquie!

    Comfortable bunk bed, had the room to myself, and the lockers were easily accessible and spacious.

    A big place, a few people have moved to Coffs & alot pass through Coffs Harbour, a minute walk to cafes & restaurants with some awesome food, management is new but they are busy cleaning & organised so the place will just get better.

    We arrived at 3pm and there was nobody at the reception, only a folded piece of paper with our name and the key cards in them. Which isn't too bad but felt a little impersonal. The whole hostel seems to be a little out of shape and the rooms smell very old, including the bedding. The sheets smelled like they were washed and then left in a cupboard for a couple of months. They also seem very old (like they are from the 90s). The beds themselves were quiet old as well. There was also a blood stain on the floor 😐 (room 218). Luckily we are traveling as a couple but I wouldn't feel very safe here alone as a girl.

    It was close to the beach and the kitchen was very big and had everything you need.

    Very beautiful swimming pool & outdoor area. Large kitchen with many microwaves & cooktops. On site parking. AUD30.6/night for 1 person maybe the best deal in Australia. Quiet location near a few attractions. I occupied a 7 beds room by myself due to high vacancy in this small city. A few rice cookers even had rice in it around midnight so I bet it was either leftover or provided.

    The kitchen was very spacious plenty of frying pans pots and slow cookers. Bathrooms were clean Dan the man who cleans them was friendly and had great vibe and if you have a spare wild Turkey help the man get hydrated. Wifi was fast and the signal was strong and pick up in most of the building. Showers were great. The manger Jackie was very friendly and helpfull.
