Me and my partner stayed in a private room with shared bathroom for our 2 night stay in Surfer’s Paradise when travelling along the East Coast of Australia. Our room was small, with no air-con and only a fan, so it was extremely hot in there all the time so we did struggle to sleep (colder outside than it was in our room - bare in mind we visited in January). We shared our bathroom with 2 other private rooms which was good, the bathroom was quite big, however very outdated, giving the sense it was a little bit unclean. The kitchen area was limited, with it being a small container in the outside area, it got very stuffy and warm in there, full of flies and not very clean - you also had to give your ID into reception to use any of the pans to cook with. Our food bag in the fridge also went missing…I understand this isn’t a fault of the hostel, however gives you an idea of the kind of people who stay here. Most staff were quite rude, some more friendly than others. The hostel did have a cafe & bar onsite with a pool table ($3 to play and hand your ID into reception for the ques) and darts board. The WiFi also wasn’t very good, turned on and off all the time and didn’t reach our room. It was a good location, walking distance from the centre and transport links. Overall this hostel wasn’t great and would recommend paying a little extra money to stay somewhere a little nicer & cleaner.

Do not stay here, spend a bit of extra money to stay anywhere else! Our room was filthy when we got there and for the duration of the stay as it was not cleaned daily as advertised. The bed sheets had stains on them and there were squashed bugs all over the walls and floors. Me and my partner both had bug bites on us during our stay, so we’re sure there were bed bugs. Honestly do not stay here.
