We had three days here and were very happy. The whole place has such a great atmosphere and there are lots of things going on. We were in our own place with kitchen and bathroom and our 20-year old son was in a dorm room. The pool and area are really good and a great place to hang out. The... More

Stayed in a 2 bedroom/4 bedded apartment with shared bathroom/kitchen with my mum during our travels around Australia, we were here for 1 night and were very impressed. There was free wifi - however you had to be in the communal area to access it. Breakfast is not included but crockery was available with a deposit. The hostel was very... More

I stayed here over the past weekend where I was in the Gold Coast for a professional development course. Chose the place as it's only a couple of minutes' walk from the hotel and accessible via public transport (the Gold Coast Highway runs literally outside its front door). Pleasantly surprised by how clean the 6-bed dorm was and how the... More

The good thing about renting an apartment at Surfers Paradise Backpackers Resort is that you can have the place to yourself at a nominal price. There is a good bar at the resort which does good cocktails and beer, of course! Quiet and funky, this place is atmospheric and has several backpackers engaging in conversation, hanging out or just swapping... More

Stayed here over Australia Day! Great people, great staff, great rooms! Overall fab experience! Very chilled out, and it has a sauna! They put on some great activities in the evenings, and the nights out are good too! Shame about the water though!

So anyone that's read my reviews will notice that I reviewed this place in 2007 and yes I'm back again. I just love this hostel. The staff are friendly, there is a great atmosphere and the location is great. It's approx 20min walk to surfers or if you don't feel like walking they have a courtesy bus that runs every... More

We (6 people) had a six dorm for a night with an ensuite bathroom. Although, we had to walk few minutes to get to the beach. The staff was very friendly and helped us out with our questions. They have a pool, a bar and you can play volleyball and basketball. I think I will stay here for the next... More
