From
ArgentinaThe hostel has a perfect location, right in front of the tram, making it easy to get anywhere. It's two blocks from the beach. The facilities are comfortable. The staff was always friendly and helpful, creating a very welcoming atmosphere. They organize activities on the weekends so you can socialize and meet other travelers. The kitchen was fully equipped and clean. I would definitely return. The atmosphere was great and the price was excellent.

The best hostel I had been to till now.
I’m a solo traveller and a content creator. I can surely tell me that you’ll definitely enjoy your stay in this hostel.
The staff is very good and co-operative. The food was really good. Cleanliness is their priority and they always behaved very well with the guest and always there to help.

Great location, literally 10 minutes walk from Gold Coast Airport and 5 minutes to the beach. Greyhound bus station is also just across the road. Hostel had a lovely chilled vibe. All staff I met were super friendly. The room was big and spacious, with plenty of space between the bunks. Each guest had a large locker that you locked with your own padlock. Nice communal areas - lounge, eating area, etc.

It was nice to have toilet in the room, the common areas are perfect to socialise and the events make very easy meeting new people. Housekeeping came daily to clean the rooms, and the staff is simply the best. I would book this hostel again with no doubt.

The whole hostel was great vibes, the manager was super friendly and knew most guests by name and chatted to us when he saw us. The staff were the best I’ve seen in Australia and all lived there which created a really nice atmosphere. They, and the other long termers made lots of effort with the new people and it felt like a community.

On arrival, I was surprised by the great amount of facilities: breakfast and dinner included (with vegan options), free tea and coffee, a small gym, and a luxurious bathroom. This was definitely the best hostel I ever stayed at and I would come back for sure.

The reality is that this hostel provides the cheapest possible stay in the best possible location. The 14-bed dorms are grim, but considering that most travellers only use beds to sleep it is passable. I would only recommend if you're on a serious budget and are willing to experience a bit of discomfort.
