First I booked for 4 days, and after one month they sent me an email to say that there was a problem with my booking and asked for my arrival time and they would arrange for me. Then one month before my trip, they called me and asked me to change the date of my flight or booked a motel... more

Brilliant in every way. Staff are amazingly friendly, bar plays good tunes, kitchen, bathrooms, shower rooms all very very clean. I'd definately go again! The pool was lovely too, more of a hotel due to the high quality. more

Aquarius did everything they could - to make the staff do as least as possible. They hearded 4 of us into one tiny room - you can imagine the stench with four guys sleeping in a tiny room with poor ventilation and no airconditioning. At the time the hotel only had a few guests - but as one staff member... more

Booked in for one night and stayed 10. The staff were really helpful and had a great time @ Jacks Spot (Aquarius bar). Was hung over the next day and layed all day on the couch recovering. Thanks for the FREE DVD's. See you again soon. more

I stayed here for only one night, but had a great time! We were picked up at the bus station by a really friendly guy, who immediately told us about the pub crawl going on that night. Tickets were selling quickly but since he told us so early we were able to get some just before they sold out. The... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 6 nights and loved it. Although its not in surfers paradise they offer a convenient minibus service in and out (although we walked a few times, it only takes 25mins to walk!). Southport where the hostel is situated is lovely though, has everything you could need, internet cafe(really cheap!) shopping mall, cinema. The... more

Myself and my boyfriend stayed there and had a terrible experience. The manager is a stuck up, unfriendly woman. To make you aware THIS HOSTEL IS NOT IN SURFERS! IT IS IN SOUTHPORT. A 45 MINUTE WALK TO SURFERS. We booked two nights extra by an accident and told the manger (Jo) who refused to give us a refund even... more
