• Amelie (6/5): - really good location. Enough space to store things in the fridge. Lockers were big and you had the option to charge electronics inside. Staff was nice and you got a lot of tips on what to do in the area. Also offered free luggage storage no sockets near bed. Mattress wasn't very comfortable and it was hard to sleep due to no privacy curtains and other guests watching/listening to sth on their phones. Weird stains on the carpet. Bathroom could've been cleaner
• Luis (10/5): Amazing - The staff is very friendly, the kitchen was very clean and enough stuff for everything, very nice I can’t find anything
• Yunbin (8/5): -
• Keira (6/5): -
• Kris (9/5): - Great atmosphere and a unique opportunity to play pool or ping pong with people from all over the world. Stayed for a week and sheets were not changed the entire time I was here.

• Stefaan (9/5): -
• Magdalena Anna (7/5): - Sympatyczna obsługa, czysto, dobra lokalizacja, ciekawy wystrój. Na tym wyjeździe odczułam brak całodobowej recepcji, ponieważ zachowanie osoby z mojego pokoju sprawiło, że nie czułam się tam bezpiecznie. Nie miałam do kogo z tym się zwrócić. Udało mi się przypadkowo spotkać innego gościa, który wpuścił mnie do innego pokoju i tam spędziłam noc. Nigdy wcześniej nie byłam w takiej sytuacji, a obiekt sam w sobie oceniam dobrze.
• Shanna (10/5): -
• Gisela (8/5): - Sehr nette Dame an der Rezeption. Schöne Gemeinschaftsräume und die Lage der Jugendherberge. Im Doppelzimmer hätte ich mir eine Nachttischlampe gewünscht. Das Neonlicht an der Decke war unangenehm.
• Ben (10/5): Really solid hostel in Newcastle - Chill vibe, clean, and close to the beach. Not super party, but great if you want something more relaxed. Would stay again. Na
• Iwona (9/5): - Good location
• harvinder27 (2/5): -
• Karen (8/5): - Super friendly and helpful staff, useful information shared, and the perfect location. The quilt and sheets provided are not of great quality.
• Ellen (8/5): -
• Seungha (7/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): - Closeness to the beach Friendly staff Clean facilities Quite quiet Easy access to the light rail Cute atmosphere, cute tv room
• Christopher (9/5): Awesome hostel near the beach - The staff were welcoming, professional, and clearly good at their jobs The place could use a deep clean, the fans and corners of the room were a bit dusty, but it didn't bother me much
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Chris Edmily (10/5): -
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Lara (10/5): - Excelente ubicación! A unos pasos de restaurantes, parada de bus, tranvía y la playa. Estuve muy a gusto, la cama es cómoda y buen servicio. Volvería sin dudas!
• celine-eva (10/5): Very pleasant - Great location and great value for money that’s why I always come back. The combo of colours on the ceiling lobby and hall.
• Victoria (9/5): Excellent value for money, lovely building with spacious rooms and communal areas. Would highly recommend. - Great central location, good parking options Road noise in the morning due to central location
• Fatma (10/5): -
• Medhbh (10/5): -
• Renata (9/5): Příjemná cena za prima pokoj. - Jedna noc, byly jsme spokojené ! Nemám nic konkrétního .
• Caroline (7/5): Gutes Hostel in guter Lage - -Sehr gut gelegen -Gratis Surfboards -keine Klimaanlage (an Schlaf war kaum zu denken) -Einrichtung in die Jahre gekommen
• DUANYUN (9/5): -
• Bailey (9/5): Definitely would recommend and would happily stay again - Great cultural experience, community area has that ‘old pub’ vibe that I really enjoyed. Finding a quiet corner, reading a book and hearing people from all over the world was great. Being so close to the beach also was a plus. Coordinated activities by the manager to encourage interaction with other people would have been good. Games, trivia, etc.
• Jay (10/5): -
• Tyler (7/5): -
• Lexi (10/5): Staff here makes it a 10/10! - Great location, staff was super kind and helpful, and a HUGE kitchen and dining area are super pluses! Tons of fridge space and a lot of kitchen items like air fryers and rice cookers. Super cool! Outdated furniture in rooms. I know I get what I paid for but I felt every small movement my bunkmate made, and I’m sure they felt the same with me. Some newer bed frames would be nice!
• Karen (9/5): Great - Staff was awesome. It’s right next to the beach. The building is beautiful. Room was comfy and with enough space. One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in Aussie.
• Enrico (8/5): Ostello bello - Ostello pulito, siamo stati con la famiglia 3 persone e ci hanno riservato una stanza solo per noi. Cucina e bagni puliti Purtroppo la stanza era dalla parte opposta ai bagni degli uomini e per andare dovevamo farci una bella passeggiata. A mia moglie invece è andata meglio i suoi bagni erano davanti alla stanza!
• Gutierrez Castañeda (9/5): - Very surprised with this place! Very very confortable and a lot of Spaces to be
• Henri (8/5): Great value for money - Location, price Roommate not careful, talking while I was sleeping, snoring
• Lauren (8/5): -
• Antonio (7/5): - Location Toilet were broken down
• IOANNA KYRIAKI (9/5): - The people working there are super nice. The kitchen is spacious and well equipped, there’s free surfboards and bikes to use, plenty of communal spaces, friendly people staying, super clean. It’s 2 minutes away from the beach. Great place to stay. The mattress and pillow were a bit too soft for my liking but that’s just a personal preference.
• Roberto (7/5): -
• Treena (7/5): Short but SWEET! - Location Nothing, but be prepared it’s not a hotel.
• Anthony (8/5): -
• Lukas (7/5): -
• Samuel (8/5): - Great location, nice building with good communal areas and kitchen facilities + laundry. There is also free bike and surfboard rental.
• Michelle (6/5): Nice location but there are better YHAs - Excellent location, right by the beach! Staff were friendly and there was also option to use the surfboards and bicycles for free! Has a full kitchen, clean with plenty of utensils available, and a lovely social/lounge area with pool tables and other activities. The bed/rooms were okay for the price, but certainly I have stayed in other YHAs that have better facilities - for example only have 2 powerpoints, and one small fan for the whole room wasn't great. Especially for a hot night. The building lacks some infrastructure for use as a hostel - there was only 2 toilets and 2 showers on my floor, both were mixed gender, and both quite old. One of the toilets was disgustingly clogged and unusable. I prefer the YHAs that have large, modern shower blocks available.
• De Chaves (9/5): -
• Manon (8/5): -
• Elizabeth (8/5): Budget and staff friendly, short walk to beach. - Budget friendly, staff friendly, access to good kitchen, dining and lounge area. Was able to park out front. Bed comfy. Shared shower / toilet +clean. Felt safe. Short walk to beach. Lively space Beautiful old two story building amazing staircase. Could get single private room. Bedroom needed over head fans and no aircon, window only opened 10cm. No lift.
• Anna (7/5): -
• Kyrylo (8/5): -
• Volponi (8/5): -
• Drew (8/5): Very good - Location and staff. Good kitchen area. Good facilities. Wasn’t a massive fan of my 4 bed dorm but nothing hostel could have done about that.
• Aida (8/5): -
• RUBEN GUSTAF INGEMAR (3/5): A bit of a let down - Great location Some guests displayed erratic behaviour and poor hygiene, making common areas, hallways, and facilities uncomfortable and detracting from the overall stay. It did not feel safe. The place also had an older, somewhat dated feel, with a heavy emphasis on posters and messaging throughout common areas. While well-intentioned, it felt visually cluttered and a bit overpowering, it took away from the relaxed vacay vibes I was looking for. Reception was almost always unstaffed, even during the very limited open hours, outside of this hours there appeared to be no staff on site.
• Mathilda (9/5): Great spot - Really friendly and chatty staff, especially the lady that was on reception. Location perfect and the rooms are spacious. Showers were a nice size too. Kitchen was small but never too busy so wasn’t a problem trying to cook. Bathrooms could’ve been a little cleaner and the toilet roll ran out a few times but still pretty good in hostel bathroom standards.

• Gia (9/5): -
• Riechardt (10/5): -
• Robert (9/5): Fantastic - No text Lack of air conditioning
• Kexin (8/5): -
• Mandy (9/5): - Great location, friendly staff, good showers. I booked the family room as a private room (it was cheaper than a double room) and it's was very spacious & comfortable. You can also use bikes & surf boards for free! It could have been a bit cleaner. There was a lot of dust everywhere.
• Benjamin (8/5): A great Youth Hostel and excellent value. - Free BBQ and great friendly management. Good vibe. Room had a fan but was a little stuffy. Was able to open a window for fresh air, though.
• Sarah (4/5): Nice place but the manager is abit weird creepy - The manager service The manager
• Douglas (9/5): - Could only have access to Basic Wi-fi.
• Georgie (8/5): - Wicked beach at your doorstep. Showers were good. Rooms quieter than I expected which was great. I’d definitely stay again Floorboards a bit squeaky
• Paul (9/5): -
• Pilar (8/5): -
• Karin (10/5): -
• Kren Patricia (9/5): Regularly enjoyable - The ease and availability of the YHA/ The cooking pots and pans are a health hazard. I do not understand why YHA continually supplies its customes with teflon coated aluminium or just aluminium pots and pans. They do not stand up the the rough demands of the customers and then are a health hazard. Please purchase stainless steel pots and pans. Even the cheap ones are durable and good for cooking. Otherwise the cheap teflon/aluminium are a continual land fill environment problem.
• leny (9/5): -
• Chad (3/5): Reasonably priced, but poor responsiveness and unresolved issues made me feel unwelcome.. - Location, kitchen, clean bathroom I requested assistance with restoring power to the room on three separate occasions. Each time, the staff acknowledged the issue but did not take any action and indicated they would refer the matter to management, without providing a timeline or resolution. I was also concerned that the heater was no longer available in the room. While I did not formally follow up on this matter, the lack of support contributed to a disappointing experience.

• Bin (7/5): Good for short stay and enjoy the beach. But if have more concerns about bugs then better to think of it. You pay get wh - The perfect locations that near the beach The cleanliness which need improve bug control. Though the management said they have regular pest control and spray. They may need to improve it during summer season.
• Ayla (9/5): -
• Beverly (7/5): - The architecture of the hostel is nice, it feels like being at summer camp. There are free surfboards and bicycles available, which is cool. It could be a bit cleaner, and the staff are friendly but not particularly cheerful. There were a few cockroaches in the kitchen, and there's no air conditioning, so it gets hot in summer.
