    Too few bathrooms :(

    The location is great: in a quiet area next to the most vibrant quarter in Gold Coast (Surfers Paradise). Very friendly and committed staff, specially Fede, who takes care of everyone’s comfort. During the day, you can enjoy the sun in the terrace with pool and befriend other guests (don’t miss the Saturday’s free pizza dinner) but in the night the hostel is quiet so you can rest easily.

    Could have had a few more bathrooms on the property, but because we were there not during peak season, it was too much of an issue and didn’t mind!

    Location is great, very central but on a quiet side street. Booked a double Room and was perfect for what we needed. Nothing special, but clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and kitchen was decent!

    The bathrooms should be more like a hostel bathroom than a house bathroom. Needs some equipment, for example hangers would be great

    Alan the manager was a really great and helpful guy. The place is neat, clean, not crowded. The location its perfect

    Not clean - saw pests in the bathroom. Smells bad in the kitchen. Free cereal for breakfast but milk was not included in it.

    Free cereal and bread for breakfast. Only problem was that there was no free milk. Perfect location - 10 min walk to surfer's paradise and the beaches. Great value for money. Quiet hostel for a chill stay. Wi-Fi was good - able to stay productive during my stay.

    This was the cheapest hostel we could find, but unfortunately still not reasonably priced. We sincerely hope that Australian hostel owners start to realise how badly they ruin their own business with the recent price increases (literally more than double of the same time last year, or any year in the last 10 years) because none of our wages have doubled, so most of us literally had to cut our trips short.... Also, the room was a little cramped, and you had to walk through the back of reception to reach the showers....

    The rooms were fairly comfortable, with each bed fully curtained, plugs and light provided, and ac working well.... The kitchen was well stocked, and kept clean. There is plenty of space to socialise and hang out... Wi-Fi was decent Walking distance, app 10 mins, to the sea front and Surfers town centre and shopping district

    Some common access areas to groundfloor rooms, laundry, kitchen, and low overhead external woodwork may hinder movement but otherwise initiated mindful considerations to self and others

    Unpretentious, keeping it real. Very handy location without the city night life din. Great air-conditioning. Comfy double bed. Very good shower pressure and space. Very attentive staff willing to assist. Good clear house rules.
