Gladstone Backpackers

Amazing place, great staff, amazing animals, exceptional atmosphere

Awww, one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The vibe was amazing and it felt like home right away. The team really tries to make your stay special. 100% recommend. Good to know: there are quite a few animals around the house, which I loved. But if you have a dog allergy or don’t like birds in cages, check ahead. The rooms don’t have lockers, and some have no AC, but each bed has its own fan. The showers are unisex and laundry costs $7.

Nice hostel stayed here for 1 1/2 weeks. Nice people, staff and atmosphere. Two cute dogs. A lot of fun hostel activities and a nice bar in the hostel. Would definitely come back!

Lovely staff and hostel, only issue was lack of locks did feel like anyone could walk in. Additionally in the morning they chose to do bathroom cleaning and close all the bathrooms right before checkout so very inconvenient timing

this place was such a vibe, it feels like how I think all hostels should feel.I immediately felt welcome, the food & drinks were good, the other travellers were incredible. I wish I could've stayed a couple extra days :) the rooms without AC are pretty warm so if that is important to you just book one with AC!

Gladstone backpackers rocks! I love literally everything about it, if you miss this on your Australia trip your dumb end of story

This is the best hostel in Australia for me! The staff is so friendly and very welcoming, I felt so good there. They’re doing their best to connect everyone with really cheap and good dinner and some events in the hostel. Would really recommend staying there and I will definitely come back one day!

Cool spot

A hidden gem in Gladstone, this is how all hostels should be. Great atmosphere, layout and vibe I’d come back any time to stay. Special shout outs to Fran and Jack who made my stay amazing!

Awesome hostel!

Honestly I didnt stay for long since it was mainly a stop over to go to rainbow beach. Staff was pretty cool but like I mentioned I only stayed for a few hours.

Nice hostel, little oasis, relaxed and familiar athmosphere

Vibes are high!! Only stayed here for one night in passing, but wish I stayed longer. Jack is the best!

Cozy Vibe, very friendly employees

Fantastic stay! Super friendly staff who made us feel at home, they even dropped us to get our bus so we didn’t have to walk in the rain

Good location in town. Beautiful old home with great facilities, bar pool area for relaxing Friendly helpful staff A great place to stay unwind and meet new people

I stayed at Gladstone Backpackers for 1 night while on a road trip. Upon arrival, the hostel manager was very helpful and friendly. The facilities were very clean and orderly. Overall a very chill vibe at this relatively small hostel. I would recommend Gladstone Backpackers to anyone who is either passing through town, or staying long-term.

Very nice staff. Wifi is fast. Nice atmosphere. Kitchen is clean. The food is very good. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The manager is super nice and even helped me get a job. By far the best hostel I've been to so far.

Great place & good vibes !

Brynn the manager was lovely, he took us to the shops when we needed and we also joined the staff and locals for a beach/ boat day - for no charge. We thought everyone was so friendly, a great place to stay on your way up the east coast!
