To use the kitchen you HAVE to use a basket from reception, which they charge you $30 deposit for, even if you dont want the plates/cutlery.

Recensione completaReally disappointed. Staff were not helpful, seemed more concerned about opening their restaurant business than helping hostel guests. Security is poor, kitchens are okay but sinks often clog up. Rooms aren't cleaned often. Not enough convenient plug sockets in the room, if you have a large travel adapter it will be too big for some. To use the kitchen you HAVE to use a basket from reception, which they charge you $30 deposit for, even if you dont want the plates/cutlery. Bit scammy.

They also kept my deposit because I couldn’t return it in person since no one was at reception at time.

Recensione completaWorst hostel of my 3.5 months in Australia. Reception is unreliable, even with their opening hours. The kitchen system is absurd ($30 deposit for cheap plastic cutlery, plates and cups). They also kept my deposit because I couldn’t return it in person since no one was at reception at time. Rooms and bathrooms were dirty, the kitchen was filthy, and the constant noise and paper-thin walls made getting any sleep really hard. On top of that 90% of the guests are South Americans on a longterm stay.

I woke up one night and I found my phone has been put on the floor and someone else taken the plug socket. Why they couldn’t leave my phone on the side I don’t know.

Recensione completaSOLO FEMALE BACKPACKER I’ll start with the positives: The property itself is nice, the common area is spacious, the pool is really nice, the kitchen is clean and well-equipped, and the location is very convenient. The not so positives: The people staying there. Most of the people staying are long-term working holiday makers, and I found them to be the most hostile and messy group I’ve encountered while traveling. The dorm was extremely untidy when I checked in, and when I asked to move rooms, I was told the hostel was fully booked, the only reason my bed was available was because someone left temporarily for a wedding. When I later spoke with the owners, they explained that the rooms are serviced weekly and that long-term guests can be “a bit clicky.” (They did offer me a full refund on my stay but I couldn’t find anywhere else in my budget at such short notice) it felt far beyond “clicky” I’ve never felt so excluded and alone in a hostel. I was lucky enough to have a car and I kept my bag in the car as there was no space for me in the room. One the social side of things, one evening I was sitting at a large table in the common area when a group chose to move to a table directly behind me instead of sitting nearby, continuing to speak in their own language while looking my way. Parties are frequent and loud, often running late into the night. One night, someone came into the dorm at 11pm, turned on the light while I was sleeping, and refused to turn it off when I asked, saying I should “wait” because it was the only light in the room. I asked if she can use her phone torch, she said “no”. There was also only one plug in the room what worked. I woke up one night and I found my phone has been put on the floor and someone else taken the plug socket. Why they couldn’t leave my phone on the side I don’t know. The atmosphere made my stay really uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hostel if you are just traveling through and hoping for a welcoming environment. (Yes people were still using those tooth brushes, they moved daily)

Analisi dell'atmosfera
Coral Beach Lodge ha un setup centrato sulla piscina con musica, giochi e grandi aree comuni, quindi puo sembrare piu un compound da working backpacker che un motel tranquillo. Piscina, tavolo da biliardo, ping pong, sala screening, spazi esterni e grandi cucine danno al posto vero potenziale da hangout quando il gruppo si incastra. Le camere possono essere spaziose, pulite e comode, con bagni privati in almeno alcuni setup, piu tocchi utili come parcheggio, spazio frigo, patio e una posizione camminabile a Port Douglas vicino a spiaggia, marina, negozi e centro. Le cucine sono un punto forte ricorrente, anche se il sistema con cestino e deposito puo essere fastidioso. Il tradeoff e la volatilita. I residenti a lungo termine modellano molto l'atmosfera, e le visite brevi possono sembrare strane se il dorm sembra gia vissuto. Il rumore puo andare avanti fino a tardi, soprattutto intorno alla cucina e alle aree comuni, e la copertura reception e limitata. E meglio per backpacker socievoli che sanno gestire disordine, rumore e un setup sciolto che per chi ha il sonno leggero o ha bisogno di supporto front-desk affidabile.
Segnali da controllare
- Il rumore puo andare avanti fino a tardi, con musica, attivita in cucina e party che colpiscono le camere vicine.
- La pulizia e incostante, con camere, bagni, biancheria, cucine, insetti e lavandini intasati che compaiono come problemi ricorrenti.
- Gli orari della reception sono limitati, e la disponibilita front-desk puo essere inaffidabile fuori dalle ore diurne.
- I dorm possono sembrare dominati da residenti long-term, con spazio limitato, cose ovunque e un atmosfera da clique.
- Sicurezza e accesso possono sembrare sciolti, inclusi codici camera semplici, controllo gate limitato e depositi per le chiavi degli armadietti.
