Guest Reviews
- Terry (6/5): - X
- Shamsher (8/5): Noisy but fun backpacker hotel - I returned to the Moey Hoey hotel from having such a beautiful experience earlier that week on a Monday. Again the hoey moey is a lively stop surrounded by amazing natural beauty of the Australia coast
- Mario (10/5): - The complex is very close to the beach and has a bar with music and delicious food
- Martin (10/5): - You get what you pay for and it was exceptional good value
- Grahame (10/5): - Great
- Kayden (8/5): - Good cheap place to stay if you don't have any expectations. Good location since it's a minute walk to the beach, and they serve good food but a bit pricey.
- Lorraine (10/5): - The location of Hoey Moey could not be better. Right on the beach front. Loved walking the small track over the dunes onto a beautiful beach. No roads to cross. Entertainment provided, great food at the restaurant, pokie room available plus a commercial size kitchen if we wanted to use it. Definitely will be returning to this idyllic spot in Coffs Harbour at an affordable price. Available to all ages.
- David (8/5): - This was a great stay/location. Highly recommend
- Kevin (6/5): - No air conditioning in room, very noisy at night
- Tracie (10/5): - Rooms look like recently renovated. Our room had bunks and everything new and clean.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Love the Hoey Moey… - This was always our place to stay on road trips between sydney & Qld. But this last stay we noticed that rooms are very tired & the noise level from other staying guests has become unbearable. So sad as we love ‘Hoey Moey’ for its value for $, quaintness, location & it’s restaurant/bar especially when there’s live music after a day of driving! Service is always great & housekeeping do an excellent job… We will be back when the curtains have been replaced & rooms have had a fresh coat of paint 🙏
- Brett (6/5): Hoey Mouldy - Very dated, used to be good value but you could stay in better accommodation for the same price..
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Well maintained & clean. Good for the low budget couple & group holidays.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - was ok
- anthony (8/5): Nice budget accommodation - Nice casual stay with entertainment and good meals
- Lynne (4/5): - Make sure you research before you book. We stayed two nights, Run down unit needs a lot of repairs, for what we paid it wasn’t good value at all. No microwave, no glasses, holes in rubber back curtains, how does a backpacker afford this I do not know..
- Frances (2/5): Disappointed - I have stayed at the Hoey Moey in the double rooms several times over the last few years and loved my stays, it's right on the beautiful park beach, food's great, staff are excellent, but this time we got a backpacker's room and it was third world, terribly disappointing and a bit depressing, and the kitchen facilities were very grubby. We ended up leaving and had a fantastic experience at the big4 at Park beach. I'm still waiting and hoping I will get a refund of some description.
- B (4/5): - It close to the beach. The rooms were left wanting and wouldn’t take much to fix them.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Rusty fridge. Broken door handle. No noise monitoring even after 1am
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location, basic rooms, very frustrating that none of the keys we were given worked properly meaning that room access was difficult
- Jackie (4/5): - As this is back packer accomodation it’s very small and basic which is fine however it’s also very dated and had flaking paint on the ceiling, black mould in the bathroom and filthy windows. The publicans for the pub owned by the accomodation park in the backpacker carparks leaving you know where to park your car and making a lot of noise right outside your door. When we enquired about this with the staff they were less than helpful.
- LEE (2/5): Noisy - Room was cheap and average but the noise and party next door was too much for me, will not be back
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Way too noisy late at night and early in the morning!
- Kelldall Holdings (2/5): False advertising - This hotel engaged in false advertising. When I made my reservation, the receipt stated that "don't worry, you will not be charged until check-in", or something to that effect. However, my credit card was charged 6 days prior to check-in and the hotel refused to reverse the charge.
- Geoffrey (8/5): - due to being at a hotel was noisy with band and people going late into the night, also as no a/c you had to keep windows open so could not close out noise
- Sarah (8/5): - Good location, excellent bar and restaurant. Better upgrade the common kitchen and have air conditioner in the rooms.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Unless this place is completely renovated or rebuilt I would recommend that no one stay here at all. I understand that it is largely promoted for Backpackers, but this does not excuse the conditions compared to the asking price for accommodation. This will definitely impact the reputation of Wotif if you continue to support and promote this property until some drastic action is taken. I travel and stay in Motels frequently as a result of my work across NSW and this is literally the worst place I have stayed at in twenty years.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Good location but very noisy every night into early morning.
- Chris (4/5): - Shabby and worn out. Messy, loud and noisy surroundings from the restaurant/bar.
- B (8/5): - Nice hotel close to beach. Good feed and drink . Will be staying again
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not the best sleep - I know it's a hostel, but I had high hopes of getting a good night sleep because the rooms are not attached to the restaurant. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. Partying all night with loud bumping music. I finally fell asleep at 2. I was rudely awaken at 7am to tradies banging on the skip bin as they threw panels from the restaurant into the bin. Not the best way to wake up after a restless night.. Also there is plenty of cobwebs and dust just above your head under the bed light.
- Verified traveler (2/5): a horrible experience - the room felt very much like a prison cell. it was small, unclean and unkempt. there was constant shouting and screaming that went on through the night.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Lively venue near the beach with accommodation - we stayed here Easter Sunday - the venue had a band on all night and the place was packed. Service at the bar was slow and they switched to cash only at a certain time. The motel rooms are right next to the hotel and noise carried on through the night. Revellers carried on outside the room to the early hours of the morning. Room was clean. Bed was uncomfortable for 2 people. We didn't get much sleep due to noise outside and had a long drive back to Sydney the next day.
- Yijendra (10/5): Nice hotel, nice food and nest entertainment - Nice place to entertain, enjoyed with great food, friendly staffs and great Coffs people
- Verified traveler (6/5): Old rooms - The bar seems to be the main spot of this hostel. Rooms are on the expensive side but they have obviously seen better days. I think the price is too much for a backpacker room.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Good inexpensive motel close to the beach. Booked and paid on Expedia but was still asked for payment on check in. Guy behind counter demanded that I pay as he said the motel had not been able to process the credit card from Expedia, despite it being used successfully that day and the day after? Annoying. I hope I haven't been charged twice
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice hotel close to the beach - This hotel is in a good location, quite cheap and has an adjacent pub with good meal deals for a cheap traveller.
- russell (6/5): A Quick Stop - an overnight stay at the Hoey which is catering for the Back Packer market. A good meal at reason prices was available
- MM (2/5): Yuck - Dirty and unkept, beds squeaky and uncomfortable. Stains on floor and bathroom was dirty.
- Pirjo (6/5): Ok - The beach is right there (not safe to swim), the bar had happy hour, but the room was not in very good condition.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location - everything you need & nothing you don't - don't change a thing.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Dirty and old room but great pub - Old room with dirty bed and cover sheet. But they have a great pub which had cheap food and live band during the stay.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Pleasant stay - Had a pretty short stay because we arrived late. The food was good! We wish we could have a longer time there.
- Joe (10/5): Nice place close to Park Beach - Wonderful place to stay - have stayed here before and this visit is subsequent repeat business
- Sara (4/5): The location was the best thing about this place - So close to the beach, we thought we couldn't go wrong. But the walls of our room seemed to be made out of cartboard. We could hear the people from the bar and the other guest shouting and singing all night (4am). The staff wasn't very friendly either, except for the man (german) how picked us up from the bus stop. The shared kitchen was disgusting, grease was dripping of the walls. There was no microwave or oven. And when we wanted to dry our dishes, we couldn't because the towels were coverd in ants.
- Damian (4/5): Rather avoid - A couple from te Uk turned this dor into their private apartment. Many youngsters ( drunk) and noisy! If you are one of the do not hesitate this must be your place! Rather avoid.
- Briana (8/5): - Facilities: Good bistro /bar; Value: Bit pricey for bunk beds; Service: German guy is awesome! ; Cleanliness: Mushroom growth in shower;
- Verified traveler (8/5): Excllent location - A few seconds walk to fantastic beach, great bar and restaurant part of the hostel, the rooms lacked a bit though. Six beds share 1 tiny bathroom with wc and showerhead only. Wash basin is in the already cramped dorm. Little space to store your gear in the room, bottom bunks have under the bed, top bunks....
- amy (8/5): Friendly and convenient - Stopped through and wanted somewhere clean and affordable - I paid a little extra to have a room on my own but was well worth it. This was delivered plus the bonus of the pub attached made it easy for a cheap dinner and a cute cafe across the road was perfect for breakfast. So close to the beach as well. Will book again if I pass through again.
- Elesa (6/5): - Cleanliness: Filthy, Smelly, Outside only;
- Geoff (8/5): -
- Kiara (8/5): - Facilities: Basic; Value: Reasonable; Service: Sufficient;
- Carl (10/5): - Facilities: Basic; Value: Affordable; Service: Remarkable, Outstanding; Cleanliness: Spotless;
- Joe (10/5): Clean, tidy hotel - What an amazing place to stay - having stayed here before, I decided to stay here again. I was absolutely surprised as to what the owners have done to the place - it is tidy, clean and so close to some amazing beaches. The bistro has amazing food which is made fresh to order and is very good value.
