Great deal for a semicheap backpackers hostel. You get free breakfast, bunkbeds and toilets are clean. There is a small pool area and gaming room. The prices of the food are acceptable. The doors open with an app, which is weird bc if your phone dies at night you can get stuck outside. Highly recommended, regardless!

I had a fantastic one-night stay at the hostel in Surfers Paradise with my three friends. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the common areas were perfect for socializing. Plus, the location was ideal for beach lovers and nightlife enthusiasts. We'll definitely be back for more waves and good times!

Brilliant hostel!! Super close to beach - only 10 walk - greyhound stop’s also really close. Staff were all super fun, friendly and helpful - Madi and Nico were the best! Rooms were also clean and have air con. Will definitely stay here again next time I’m back in Surfers!
