The staff really made the effort to rally everyone together and were extremely friendly. We had several great nights out and plenty of... More

Offer nightly activities - usually out to bars and clubs in Surfers. This is typical of any hostel on the coast. about a 15 min walk into the heart of Surfers Paradise if I recall, its actually quite good to be out of the rat race a bit - especially if you have a car you need to park somewhere....

Been backpacking Australia for the past 6 weeks and this is by far the best hostel I've stayed in! Staff make you feel welcome, always something going on and the pub crawls are a laugh. Free wifi is a bonus too. So sad to leave. Will deffo be returning. Lots of love Kelly and Sam xoxoxox

Stayed here in March 2013 with a group of friends. GREAT if you love partying/clubbing as the hostel organises nights out and even comes round the rooms to let you know what's going on in the evenings. Heads up: if you aren't a party/'going out' person, of an everning you will get a few hours' peace but when everyone comes... More

Great party hostel! It is close to all the main clubs, and also very close to the beach! Staff is very friendly, fun, and helpful! I stayed here for two weeks, and I still didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this hostel

This place is absolutely brilliant hostage, good location, it's a 10 min walk to the heart of the city which is ideal because its not too noisey at night after nights on the beer. It's accommodation is top class with lovely beds and services. People here are all down to earth and really friendly, and all the backpackers are up... More
