room was okay, enough room for your stuff, but a lot of long-stay-residents who filled the room with their stuff + a lot of noice from outside the WHOLE day. the kitchen is big and has everything you need, just a bit dirty.

stayed here 23 years ago and have been back several times since , It's a mix of people and not a party place from my experience . enjoyed my stays and most everything in walking distance or a ride on the local bus ..

Good hostel but there’s big window which cannot be open and no air-con in the rooms, this creates a greenhouse effect, which is very stifling. I had to sleep in wet clothes to cool down.

great facilities, friendly staff, HUGE communal kitchen. i would stay here again it’s very convenient if walking to the airport, but it is parallel to a highway and there’s no sidewalk. it’s doable to get into town via foot or bus, but you need to cross gold coast highway either way :/

I enjoyed staying here and had a good time despite a little dirt and constantly full trash bins :D the atmosphere was welcoming though.

My room was dirty when I arrived. Floor was dusty and my locker had bedbug or cockroach marks. Someone had also left their things to my locker. Common areas were clean and large. Kitchen was sometimes dirty because other people didn't wash their dishes. One day staff was cleaning bathrooms for one hour so I couldn't go to any bathroom. It was nice to be near to the beach and it was easy to take a bus to the center. It's okay if you stay only for one night.

Perfect spot a stones throw from the beach! Transport links were good and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 2 big communal rooms and the kitchen was great too.

I really enjoyed my stay here! Hot showers, clean bathroom, tidy dorm and friendly service. Has everything you need, great vibes and a great all-round experience for me. The only downside that could be a problem for light sleepers is the airplanes. They are quite loud but if you can sleep through anything you’ll be fine. Thanks YHA GC I am keen for another stay soon!

Dirty, dusty, cobwebs all through room. Kitchen filthy, didn’t use the pool but didn’t look very inviting. Close to airport so it’s noisy early. This place needs an all round deep clean and tidy up. Staff member was lovely when checking in.

Location is terrible far from anything notable, and room had ants all over it and no ac. When it rains and hist the tin roof, it sounds like the loudest movie theater you’ve ever been in. Vibe isn’t great either, only positive I would give would be bathrooms are renovated. Take my advice and stay elsewhere.

+ super close to airport if you need to take a flight or can pick up buses from there + big shared bathroom which were clean and well maintained + comfy common area + good cafe opposite - rooms are pretty old fashioned, old style metal bunks, no privacy at all - only fans, no AC - biggest disappointment was a girl accused me of stealing her bed as housekeeping had cleaned it so I thought it was free. Made me feel very unwelcome and upset, would suggest numbering beds to avoid these m...

The hostel is in a great location from the airport- you can walk. The rooms were clean and beds very comfortable Bathroom was also clean and had alot of space. Did not use common areas as I only stayed for one night but seemed ok
