I spent a few days in there and i regret no could stay longer...amazing location with a great view near the pier and several restaurants and pubs.Staff young and friendly, brand new building and cheap prices.No lift but just 1 floor so you can carry on your lagguage easy.

To echo many other reviews, the hotel is in a great location for beach-goers, but it's a good walk from the main town where the best bars and shops can be found. We were unlucky with our room as the chap we shared with lacked an understanding of personal hygiene. This wasn't helped as there was no air con and... More

The hostel is located really near the beach (5 min walk), but quite far from the city. So if you want to party every night it's not the right place for you. If you just want to enjoy the nice beach, then it's a great place. The area has a small mall (with a Mc Donald) 1 restaurant (really expansive)... More

I liked this hostel. We stayed here for 2 nights in a 6-bed, but we were there in June and had the room to ourselves which was obviously a bonus! We had a room that was on the back so was quiet- I assume the rooms by the walkway get noisy as the WHV bunch sit out there drinking of... More

This is a it of a party hostel, but not so much that we weren't able to get some sleep when we wanted. The location is so-so. It's right near the beach, but is a 2.5 mile walk to downtown Surfer's Paradise. As the name says, it's in Main Beach, so it's a bit of a hike if you want... More

When the YHA's own website says 'not recommended for families' it's a bit of a giveaway that the hostel is going to be full of young party people, and your chances of a decent night's sleep are going to be pretty slim. I thought I would take a chance anyway, and in the end I'm glad that I did. I... More

Our room is along the common corridor and has glass on 2 sides which makes poor soundproofing. We could hear people walking by and were unlucky enough to have a group of drunks talking loudly at the tables right outside our door. This went on well until 1.30am. As the reception was closed, we didn't know where to direct our... More

This was a stop-over in my australian trip, after Sydney and Blue Mountains. It was just one night, and given that I was travelling solo, Surfers Paradise is not quite an optimal destination. Given this and decided to do some sightseeing, I set out to walk from the hostel to Surfers' Downtown twice, one during the night and other the... More

Nice hostel and great location. Staff were helpful and friendly. We startedhear before we drove to brisbane. W were in a 6 beded mixed dom. Kitchen was large and there were tables so people could eat there foot or sit and chat. Tv room was small and very close to the kitchen. Needs a wall to separated the two area.... More
