Smelly room

Overall okay. The kitchen was clean but the rooms not so much. The vibe was very chill and I felt safe but everyone could just walk in and the luggage room is not locked. The beach is close but it is a short walk to town. Staff was pretty friendly and the atmosphere in the outside space in the evening was lovely.

Located close to the beach and has a nice terrace. Unfortunately, not very clean and staff was unfriendly.

Niet het hostel om in te verblijven als je Agnes Water bezoekt. Zeker niet als solo backpacker. 9.1 op Website is niet terecht en ik vraag me ook af hoe dit gelukt is. Het hostel is qua algemene ruimte prima, de kamers en badkamer zijn niet schoon. Er verblijven veel oudere, vaste gasten en er is niet veel sfeer. Locatie naast het strand is wel goed, maar verder worden er geen shuttles of fietsen aangeboden om bijvoorbeeld Town 1770. In tegenstelling tot de andere hostels.

Not the hostel to stay in when you visit Agnes Water. Zeker niet als solo backpacker. 9.1 op Website is not correct and I also wonder how it was possible. The hostel is in terms of overall space fine, the rooms and bathroom are not clean. Er verblijven many older, permanent guests and there is not much atmosphere. Location next to the beach is good, but further there are no shuttles or bicycles offered to Town for example 1770.

Das Hostel hat mir nicht besonders gefallen. Die Ankunft mit dem Greyhound Bus ist sehr unangenehm. Man muss in der Nacht ohne Strassenlaternen 15 Minuten zu Guss zum Hostel laufen. Ich finde es schlecht, dass kei Abholservice garantiert wird. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass sie die Gäste abholen. Die Betten waren auch nicht besonders gut und viel zu klein das Zimmer. Zudem war es nicht sauber und sehr schmuddelig. Die Managerin war aber sehr nett und ihr Mann auch. Sie haben mir ein Upgradet.

Translated to English

I didn't like the hostel very much. Arriving by Greyhound Bus is very unpleasant. You have to walk 15 minutes to Guss to the hostel at night without street lamps. I think it's bad that Abholservice is guaranteed. I wish they would have picked up the guests. The beds were not particularly good either and the room was too small. Also it was not clean and very messy. The manager was very nice but very nice and her husband too. You have given me an upgrade.

J’ai passé un bon séjour dans cet hostel. La location est parfaite, en bord de mer. Néanmoins, les installations de la cuisine pourraient être améliorées.

1770 YHA was perfectly fine for a couple days to have a break from the busride between Airlie beach and Hervey bay. It was very chill and quiet when we went so not much atmosphere but very relaxing. There were like 3 other people in our dorm including an old dude who seemed to live there. The lounge was very comfy and had access to netflix. There's not much to do around the area but we recommend hitchhiking to the tip of 1770 lookout. if you go far enough you can sometimes see wales and turtles.

Really quite and not much people there. I stayed in a 10 bed dorm room and there were 2 quite old men ( 60 years) sharing the dorm with me, which made me ( 20 year old girl) feel really uncomfortable. Lots of other elderly people as well which seems weird for a youth hostel. Staff and owner were really friendly but not at the reception very often. Free breakfast was nice but not really reliable. They advertised it to be out from 7 to 9 but sometimes they only put it out an hour late.

Great hostel to relax. Not much to do other than surf or hang out in. The staff was really nice and the host took us and the other guests out for a ride into the sunset which was great!

The staff were more than welcoming — we really felt like we were part of a family. The young blond guy welcomed us with a big smile, and the older gentleman was incredibly kind and gave us great advice for the rest of our road trip and much more. Thanks to him, we were able to rethink our plans during the floods. The rooms and the bathrooms were also very clean. The hostel is close to the beach, and there is a restaurant within the hostel where you can eat if you didn’t have time to do yo...

I wasn't sure what to expect as was only staying here as a stop gap on the road but I can honestly say this place is AMAZING! The staff were so welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home showing us places to visit ect. They went above and beyond. it was very quiet when I visited but there is a lovely relaxed social area to chill out in. Ths beach is only a short walk away. The greyhound is a 10 min walk away and was dark when I arrived but the staff were amazing and got me to the bus!!

This place had the most welcoming staff and such a good vibe!! The guys were so helpful with all the tips we should do around town and were so accommodating with special deals in the restaurant and being able to have a shower before the bus after check out etc! Will stay here for sure next time I’m in town!

The staff and facilities at this hostel were really good. It’s about a 10/15 minute walk from the shops and greyhound bus stop and was a little quiet but the perfect stop between Rainbow beach and Airlie beach. Not the most social hostel but does have a very nice vibe.
