Guest Reviews
- Nicole (6/5): - Good kitchen, well equipped. Room decent with air conditioning. Our room had a balcony with a drying rack, which was useful. Shared bathroom was good and cleaned daily. Kitchen is locked between 10pm-6am, which we were not informed about and caused problems when we needed to leave for our day trip at 5:45am and couldn’t access the kitchen. The cleaner then became very upset with us for asking if we could briefly go into the kitchen to grab something to take away with us.
- THANH TRUONG (9/5): - The location is perfect. Nope
- Francisca (10/5): -
- Alexia (9/5): -
- Lorena (8/5): Muy recomendable - Muy bien ambiente, relajado, tranquilo, con pile y muchas comodidades
- Beatrice (8/5): -
- Adliana (8/5): -
- Phoebe (8/5): Nice hostel in good location - Great location with it being close to all of the shops/bars in Airlie Beach but just far enough away that it’s quiet at night. Very comfy bed and quiet A/C. Shared bathroom with one other private room and it was cleaned every day. Rooms and communal areas are quite dated but are clean and comfy.

- Emma (10/5): - Clean facilities, large room with lockers, en-suite bathroom, cheap laundry, well organised kitchen, lovely courtyard area with pool.

- Robert (10/5): Staff were very helpful and friendly everyone spoke to each other. In the room I was in it was like a family we all got - It was close to the beach. Close to the shops Nothing it was perfect
- Katie (9/5): Perfect non-party hostel - Great location! The property was quiet and communal areas are kept very clean. The staff were great- there is a strict non-smoking policy, which our neighbours broke. The staff noticed before we had to tell them and they were evicted from the property straight away. The only problem was there’s only 1 bowl in the property- the rest of the kitchen was great
- María Virtudes Martínez (10/5): - Todo, sobre todo la atención del personal de recepción, muy profesional Quizás la habitación se queda un poco justa de espacio
- Zoe (8/5): - Great location right in central Airlie Beach.
Comfortable and clean rooms.
Staff so friendly, upgraded us to a private room instead of dorm beds and the French lady (sorry I didn’t get her name) was so chatty and welcoming at check in, we loved her! Completely understand hostels have to impose their rules (there are lots of signs etc confirming these which is fine) but there’s a tannoy in each room that goes off every morning (irrelevant of departure date) at 9:50am informing everyone that check out is at 10am, so no lie ins in this hostel!
- Isabelle (8/5): Would stay again - Good location, good space in kitchen, friendly staff No curtains on the beds, bathrooms could be nicer
- Esteban (8/5): -
- Florianne (7/5): Nice - Location was perfect, it is close to the town centre, but not in a busy street, so it's still quiet at night.
Beds are comfortable.
Staff was very friendly & welcoming.
The rooms are locked with a code which felt secure & safe.
The lockers are spacious & can be locked with your own padlock.
There is luggage storage with lockers, which I was able to use for free on the day I checked out, which was very appreciated. The rooms & bathroom was not the cleanest.
Not every bed has an outlet to charge your phone near the bed, though they do offer extension cords for free to use.
The shower didn't fully turn off, so the water was constantly dripping, making the floor wet & making a constant sound.

- Renan (8/5): Great Value x Stay - The location of the hostel is close to the marinas, which makes it easy for any tour you book in the city. Totally worth it. Kitchen is also well furnished and functional for everybody. The bathroom was SUPER clean like new. The towels and the curtain in my room smelled a bit weird. Everything else was good!

- jinmei liu (8/5): 挺好 - 位置,厨房,公共区域都很好,离泳池很近,就是上铺有的连插座都没有太不方便
- Simon (6/5): -
- Vikanda (8/5): - The staff were very friendly and always helpful with anything I needed. The pool was lovely, clean, and very private. I was also able to borrow a hair dryer, which was very convenient. Overall, a great stay. It would be great if you could expand the restroom facilities in the common area, as one toilet may not be sufficient. Thank you.

- Tamas (10/5): Exceptional stay. - I had a wonderful experience at this hostel! The place is spotless, quiet, and very well-maintained. The beds were comfortable, and both the toilet and shower were clean and functional. The atmosphere was friendly, with great people all around. The location couldn’t be better – it’s right in the heart of the town, just a short walk from the beach and nearby shops. Maxine and Laetitia were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting.

- Ferhat (7/5): -
- Lucia (5/5): No lo recomiendo. Hay otras opciones cerca y mejores - Nada El trato del personal mi bus llegó después de la hora del check in estuve HORAS tratando de comunicarme tuve que pedirle una extraña una llamada porque no tenía nisiquiera donde cargar mi teléfono me pidieron mi tarjeta de crédito por teléfono con todos los datos y hice un depósito de 50$ que nunca 🙅🏻♀️ regreso a pesar que me dijeron que en el check in lo devolvían no deberían cobrarse ese monto por anticipado pasaron 3 meses y mi banco me dijo que ese monto ya lo había pagado en mi estado de cuenta les escribí por WhatsApp cuando estaba en NZ sin éxito. Un consejo si quieren anotar la tarjeta todo ok, pero cobren el monto si la persona no hace el check out debidamente pero no se cobren ese depósito por anticipado o cobren lo en efectivo y póngalo en un sobre la verdad nunca me pasó que me roben un depósito en un hotel siguiendo todas las reglas y haciendo el check out debidamente

Las habitaciones tenían baño privado dentro, un punto a favor No había staff al que preguntar dudas, me dio la sensación que era muy “búscate la vida”. Se puede aparcar delante en la calle principal

- Palash (7/5): - Staff was nice.
- Johanna (7/5): -
- Natalia (5/5): No me gusto - Estaba bien ubicada, pero es un pueblo de 2cm asi que seria raro si no lo estuviera No habia cortinas en las camas ni ventilador. El baño es en suite y no hay lugar en la ducha para cambiarse asi que si hay alguien usandolo todo el resto del cuarto se queda sin baño.

- Giada (10/5): Tutto bellissimo - Dopo aver soggiornato in hostel a Cairns, Sydney e Brisbane posso veramente dire che a livello di pulizia sia l’hostel più pulito.
Essendo un no party hostel è soprattutto molto tranquillo.
La cucina è ben organizzata, e lo staff gentile.
La stanza per 6pax, con bagno privato è abbastanza grande. Nella stanza 19 per uscire fuori al terrazzino si fa molto rumore, forse si dovrebbe sistemare un po’ la porta, perché altrimenti già dalla mattina presto ci si sveglia se le altre pax escono fuori al terrazzo.
- Lukas (6/5): -
- Marta (8/5): - La gente de recepción es encantadora, hay suficientes enchufes en la habitación y te dejan alargadores si no llega a tu cama, también mantas si tienes frío. Habitaciones bastante espaciosas con un baño grande dentro, bastante cómodo. El espacio para tender la ropa en la terraza puede ser un poco insuficiente en habitaciones compartidas, pero todo bien, no tengo queja ninguna!
- Melissa (8/5): Location and kitchen facilities were fantastic - The kitchen facilities were good and the staff were helpful The rooms and beds were a bit dated. Some people not having full access or near access to plugs needs to be resolved
- Bára (7/5): -
- Davide (9/5): Piacevole - Pulizia, personale cordiale, posizione ideale, vicino a tutti i locali ma non direttamente nel caos della strada principale. Cucina ben attrezzata e organizzata Il fatto che si dovessero noleggiare asciugamani e che nel bagno non ci fossero shampoo e bagnoschiuma.
