I have travelled Australia for 7 months and this was one of the worst hostels I have stayed in. First we had to wait just over 2 hours for the shuttle bus to arrive from the bus stop. As the shuttle only runs 4 times a day. Mattresses in bedroom were so thin you could feel the metal frame, and... More

I booked this hostel because I landed quite late in the evening and this place happens to be very close to the airport of Coolangatta. And with very close I mean that you can actually see almost life size airplanes from the window :) Yet, there are no noise issues. The room I was in, 6 bed dorm, was quite... More

I know it's a YHA, but for $25 extra I could gone to a motel down the road with an ensuite, aircon, soap, a room slightly bigger than a broom closet, and maybe a tiny bit of professionalism. Good value at maybe $40. Overpriced at $74. It's only asset is proximity to the airport - but there are three other... More

We only stayed there for one night because we needed a cheap place to sleep near the airport for our flight. We had a double room and were happy with that. Arrived late, check-in took a while, couldn't have breakfast there because the flight was so early, but it was alright for what we needed. Would stay there again if... More

...and I've been to a quite a few! It's a shame really that YHA has this hostel in their portfolio as it doesn't do their brand any good. The twin room I booked was unclean and hadn't seen a vacuum cleaner in quite a while and generally looked much worse than a prison cell. The staff are unfriendly and unwelcoming.... More

Constant roaring of trucks and airplanes during the night... Found it difficult to get sleep and woke up with a headache:( Only good thing about location is proximity to airport, otherwise remote as far from the good beaches and restaurants/amenities. Reasonably clean.
