“The best hostel i've stayed at”

Reviewed 21 May 2013

I was travelling in AUS and NZ in 2011 and the atmosphere at this hostel was just awesome. I absolutely loved living here, I ended up staying for a week just relaxing in the pool, having fun with the guys that worked here at the time. The fraser islands tip was not very good, we had that angry one legged... More

“This is awful!”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

I stayed here last year as it was included in my Fraser Island package and was really disappointed! The night before we went to Fraser Island they had a power cut and the 24 hour number rang and rang but no one picked up meaning we were powerless until the morning. Then the night we returned from Fraser Island we... More

We are so sorry you didn't have the best experience at the Palace Backpackers. Since your stay we have done a lot of work to improve security on the premises and have not had problems with break-ins for quite a while. More

“Great as a stopover”

Reviewed 12 April 2013

Stayed in a twin room as part of a 6 bedroom house with my mum during our travels around Australia, we were here for 1 night and were happy. The hostel was clean and tidy and the staff were friendly. A couple of things to point out: the kitchen is supposed to be "self-contained" however there was little/practically non-existent equipment/utensils,... More

“Faulty Towers - 'palace' should be used very loosely”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

What a mistake. My friend and I spent a total of 2 nights at Palace Hostel as part of our Fraser Island deal booked through Wicked. In my opinion, this was 2 nights too many. Perhaps the only positive point, we were collected from the transit centre - it soon went downhill from there. Our keycards didn't work, our kitchen... More

Thank you for your review Harriet. We are so sorry you didn't have the best experience during your stay. Since your visit we have had the kitchens restocked and they are fully functional. We have the hostel cleaned every day, and have spoken to the cleaners about your comments. The computers are also up and running again now, the problem... More

“Horrible place”

Booked this place through Wicked travel as it was convenient for goin on the 3 day trip to Fraser. The house style hostel was rotten from one end to the other. The rooms were small and dirty with no aircon. The kitchen was disgusting and looked like no one had cleaned it on months. We stayed in one of these... More

Thank you for your review Lis. We are very disappointed you didn't enjoy your stay with us. We have had our hostel completely renovated and the rooms have all been painted and new flooring put down. The rooms are cleaned daily and inspected by management weekly. We believe the hostel to be extremely clean. We do endeavor to keep the... More

“AWESOME”

Reviewed 24 March 2013

I had a great time at Palace. I booked through Wicked travel and did the Fraser Island tour with these the guys. The rooms were really nice, a lot better than the photos show. The Fraser tour itself was amazing. Our tour guide (Geoff) was such a cool guy and really informative. I would recommend these to anyone.

The rooms are in "small houses" with 4 rooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen each, But people from other "houses" had to come to ours because was the only that have a oven working, so everithing gets more dirty. I could cook, but with 3 or 4 other people. The bathroom... More
