This hostel was very loud because they have a bar downstairs. The room wasn't so clean and the bathroom terrible... The good points were the location close to the beach, shops, restaurants, clubs and also they have a pool.

We do pride ourselves on being a party hostel & the bar closes at 10.30pm which is at a fairly decent hour. Our rooms are cleaned every day so if there seemed to have been a problem with the... More

This is the first non-YHA hostel that I stayed in and I wasn't sure how this would be but I was pleased. I have heard that this hostel has the potential to be a party hostel, however that didn't seem to be the case for the one night that I stayed here probably because it was raining and cloudy -...

You will not find the best party, but it have the best combination of all what you need in surfers paradise. The hostel it's very nice, good design, pool, playing areas, eating places, drinking places (you cant bring your own alcohol, you have to buy it there) but it's not so expensive, it's cool enough. Recomended

Stayed one night in a four bedded dorm with ensuite bathroom. Couldn't have handled another night due to the roach infestation!! There was not one but several cockroaches of various sizes scuttling across the floors and walls every time I turned the lights on in the toilet. I have a severe phobia but normally I can handle the odd cockroach,... More

Hi Ronn, Its a shame that you had to leave this comment as i can 100% guarantee that we do not have a cockroach problem. Unfortunately with queenslands weather all areas of the gold coast you will find cockroaches we go to extra lengths like all properties to remove the problem by having pest controle come on a regular basis....
