Surfers Paradise

Absolutely wonderful. I would recommend to any traveler. Rooms and showers where incredibly clean. Lovely spacious shower. The 6 bed room had a TV sofa, food prep area, balcony and really comfy beds. It felt more like a hotel. 100% would stay here again.

Stayed here for 6 nights and had a fantastic first 4 days, clean rooms, friendly staff, and great location just minutes from public transport in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Unfortunately, the last two nights were disappointing. A group broke the no smoking/drinking rule and partied loudly all night in the room, which really affected the experience. The hostel should enforce these rules more strictly to protect the vibe for everyone. I’d return, but only if there’s a clear policy on maintaining a respectful atmosphere. Otherwise, great value overall.

Good location. Comfortable bed, but not really any built in designs to store your luggage easily. They do have lockers but they are super noisy when accessing at night. I feel they could definitely work on creating a better community atmosphere, as people here stick to themselves it’s not a very welcoming atmosphere if you’re looking to meet people. The hostel is really big, and lots of people have been living there a while so it’s a weird vibe. Probably wouldn’t stay there again as it wasn’t the best experience for me. I witnessed another guest who was super drunk in the common area just walk up and nearly start a fight, yelling and being obnoxious towards some other travellers who weren’t bothering him.
