Hostels in Queensland, Australia

Recommend if you are looking for a clean and quality place to stay and are a budget traveller. This yha has a very high standard compared to others. It is more like a youth hotel with bunk beds rather than a backpackers place. You also meet travellers of all ages, families and youth groups around the place. The rooms are super tidy and serviced daily, spacious luggage lockers that fit a large suitcase (fantastic!) and are light filled with aircon or windows to be opened. The kitchen is very big, nice rooftop terrace with city views and pool area. Tv lounge and soon it’s own co working hub which I think is a great addition to the concept. Free luggage storage for guests and friendly and helpful staff.

Close to the airport and wonderful for an early morning flight, the hosts are very lovely and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable, everything was in working order. To be honest the air con was great on a hot day, and close to some to shops.

I stayed here about 2 weeks in early Jan. I got a bed next to a balcony in a 6 beds room which gave me little extra privacy. The room was cleaned fine throughout my stay. The bed was not large but comfortable with a nice mattress, light and power sockets. There is a bathroom for a toilet and a shower (not separated) for the room. So, I had to share it with 5 others when all beds were filled. Common area at the basement was pretty good for having nice furnitures. The kitchen and dining areas were cozy and spacious. You need $1 or $2 coins for laundry and dryer ($3 each). If you struggle to prepare coins, apparently there is a self-service laundry and cash dispenser nearby (I didn't try it though). Definitely confusing to find the reception for check-in. You need to walk through between The Island and a teppanyaki restaurant on Surfers Paradise Blvd.

Bupper within walking distance of Gold Coast Airport in Coulangatta. I booked a private room to recover because I stayed in a very noisy 々 good buffer １ weeks until the day before my stay (laughs) I don't have a single for four consecutive nights, and the first two nights are twin singles It was like 50 〜 60 Australian dollars per night in Su, and 40 Australian dollars per night from the third night? Still, it is broken compared to the surrounding hotels. (Australia is really expensive and hard to stay) Also, it is good to move because it is difficult to move at check-in, so if you ask if you can't do it in the same room during your stay, you already have a reservation I was told I couldn't. Still, the staff was good. Except for the owner, the staff were all friendly and nice backpackers (laughs). The facility itself was old, well maintained, and there were several public spaces, and the privacy was moderately protected and cozy. Dark room, dining room, bright room with billiard table, spacious garden where smoking and BBQ can be done, garden with pool, and other garden with bench ５ places? There was. Unlike the buffer in the city, it was such a buffer that I wanted to stay again in a calm atmosphere. There are no restaurants and supermarkets around, but it is close to the airport, so it is good for the night before the flight or the rest after entering the field. I will definitely stay again soon.

I left another local hostel after one night as it was just too noisy - I wanted a place for a good rest so that I could really enjoy all the amazing day trips nearby. This place did just that! I booked a single occupancy room (shared bathroom) on the day and stayed for 4 nights - great value for money and really did the job - I had a perfect rest here. Other guests were of all ages and were friendly. The hostel was very quiet at night and put on some optional entertainment (I chose not to partake and it didn’t disturb me at all). The pool area is small but great! Big kitchen area to cook in and store food. The staff were great at helping me book day trips and the location is fantastic for these (I did the Great Barrier Reef, karunda skyrail and daintree trip from here and the location was perfect). I would definitely stay again!

I wish I had of read these reviews prior to booking a room. I wanted something close to the airport and at last minute this was all that was left. I don't consider $148 a cheap room for 1 night, a shared backpackers room would of been cleaner. I got a text after booking and paying asking me to enter more details again including credit card, it said to upload a photo, didn't say upload your licence so therefor never sent the room code, when I rang I got a lady I could not understand who explained I didn't need to worry because I could do it at reception, when we arrived at reception the lady told me I MUST DO IT OR I CAN'T STAY!! 1hr later and 2 others in reception having the same issues we were given a room code, the room smelt like a dead wet dog, we were on ground level the curtain was see through and didn't block any of the elements out, the shower was that small you could only fit in one leg at a time.... prior to arriving I asked if they had a laundry on site I was told yes to only be told once checked in the washing machine is broken.. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

The personnel is helpful and friendly. The location is perfect and the bar/club is always busy. You can eat, drink and party all at the same place. The air conditioning in the rooms was a bit too strong, and there is no controller to modify it. It's a centralised system. The bed has to be done by yourself when arriving. Finding it done would be appreciated. A shelf and individual light in the bed would be really useful. The building is very big and has enough room in the common areas and kitchen (which is busy at any time). Services are fine overall.

We arrived at midnight and the host was very helpful with the check-in via phone. The room and the beds were clean. The air-con and the hot water supply were nice. The only thing insufficient was not having toothbrush and toothpaste inside the room. Overall the experience was nice and I will choose to stay here next time.

Good experience

1) It was a nightmare checking-in. I reached the hostel at 6:30pm and realized that there was no reception but to use Goki for checking-in. However, I received a notice from Goki that ”no reservation” after keying in my confirmation number. I got a shock and kept asking for help from strangers within the hostel. By the time I got it solved, it was like 8:30pm and I was starved to death. 2) Though Goki is an easy system but u need to bring your mobile everywhere you go even to the toilet eg shower (what happen if you forget to bring out the phone); there was a time my phone was almost out of battery (1% left) and I have to quickly charge it by borrowing charger from others. 3) There is no window in my room (single) and the air-con temperature is beyond my control 4) The reception area only opens till 2pm daily, after which you have to make call for any housekeeping services. It really pose inconveniences for first timer who wants to know about Cairns in terms of the directions, places of interests etc. 5) The location is excellent but I don't think I will recommend this hostel to my friends in future.

What a cool find. This boutique hotel was a great find. From the minute we stepped through the door and was greeted by a friendly and helpful receptionist, everything about this stay was great. Nicely furnished room with a super comfy bed. Coffee machine was a nice touch as was the FREE minibar. Yes that's right, FREE. There was also a lively rooftop bar with a complimentary drink. Great cocktails and the bar staff were great. I will definitely stay here again.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, very clean and modern and friendly, helpful staff. A variety of accommodation options from single bed pods in a shared room, to a variety of dorms and also private en-suite rooms. The shared bathrooms are clean and you can have them all to yourself if you get up early!! A great location a short walk from the cbd with plenty of eating places nearby, plus the hostel offers a free breakfast.

It was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening. There was no front desk staff, and the room card was left in the password box. As a result, the hotel has two addresses. We found another address according to the map of the hotel. After several weeks, we found the room card. There is no service call. If you don't understand the map and instructions in English, or if you have problems with your room card, you will definitely not be able to enter the room at night. It is not too close to the airport for 30 Australian dollars. The room usually has a musty smell. Upgrade to the nearest airport, suggest picking other homes, not recommended

The hotel is in an area surrounded by bars so perfect for someone who wants to party. A long walk to the centre and a 5 minute walk to Fortitude Valley station. The reception area and very large kitchen are always spotlessly clean. I was in an 8 bed dorm which had a large table island in the middle of the room with individual open cupboards. Not big enough for anyone’s bag to fit in though. The room became extremely messy as people couldn’t store bags and suitcases and we are all very trusting leaving our belongings inside these open cupboard spaces. The hostel does provide each person with a small safe above said open cupboard. 1 separate toilet and 1 separate shower in the room for all 8 people. Very frustrating! Other than that, the bed was comfortable.

Perfect for attending the races and close to dinner facilities. Basic room with comfortable bed tv ensuite microwave desk and fridge. Our fridge wasn't working so they put us in room next door and were very apologetic about it and was no fuse. Thank you for having us. If was a little warmer we would have used the pool and we had undercover parking👍

I booked an ensuite room a few months ago in this place and we were supposed to check in on 26/12. that didn’t happen because of covid so we went later on 28/12 (our booking was from 26/12 to 29/12). we called a hundred times to make sure they didn’t put anyone in our room as we were going to arrive there a few days later. when we got there, the guy on the reception gave us the key to our room and we realized someone was there cause there were bags in the room. after that, the same guy said these people were not supposed to be there and also said they were fully booked and he was going to talk to the manager. then, the manager came to us and said the room was double booked and they were really sorry, only thing they could do was give as a refund. I quickly checked on booking.com if there was a room for that night in Surfers Paradise and all the places were double or even triple the price we were supposed to pay on Backpackers in Paradise. so I started arguing with the manager cause only a refund was not enough, we had booked the room months before that and they simply come to us saying there was nothing they could do, really annoying and disrespectful. good thing was the blonde lady at the reception that came up with an idea to call someone that was supposed to check in the night before asking if they would come so we stayed there for the night (in a room completely different than the one we booked in the first place). we asked for a refund and they agreed. They gave us a refund on 03/01 and on 26/02 they charged $270 from my account without my permission. after calling booking.com a hundred times, we still haven’t got the money back cause they say the hostel don’t authorize the refund. this is really serious. we stayed there in december, then in february they charge money from my bank account and now they don’t wanna give him the money back. besides all that, terrible place to stay. bad management and dirty rooms

It's clean and hygienic, but it's a bit noisy outside. When we checked out, the customer service staff was late and kept waiting, which made our subsequent trip very hasty.

This is located in Mermaid Cafe. I came to Gold Coast to attend a conference and stayed in Broadbeach area. I had a early morning flight from Gold Coast and wanted to spend the last night a little more nearer to airport. But found this place cozy and near to another beach. It was conveniently located near Tamborine Street bus stop from where you can take Bust # 777 to reach airport. Restaurants with seafood and other options are very near. Mermaid beach is also easily accessible from Camden Motor Inn. Reception was very helpful and check-in was smooth. She also printed my flight boarding pass upon my request. It seemed the facilities are not so good as they hanged the message that their pool was not heated and laundry was out of order. But when I got into my room, I found it was quite good. Spacios bedroom, comfortable and clean bed, nicely arranged kitchen made a very good impression to me. The stay was nice and well worth the price I paid for.

I will admit that I selected this hotel on price and location. Check in is a little difficult as you fave to arrive at a set time period or pre arrange before you get there. Called the front desk and was checked in without too much bother. Car park is underneath but you need the code to access, which you get on check in, so need to park somewhere in the meantime. Room was clean, equipped with everything I needed. There was also a kitchenette arrangement. It was at the rear and was relatively quiet. However, the place has a feeling of a half way house, or low income rentals. It seemed to me there were long-term residents. The hotel offers little, no food, nothing in fridge, no restaurant, no meals. There is a pool tho. For a cheap one night stay it was ok. Would I stay longer, I don't think so.

非常方便，地理位置很好，性價比高

Our party is 8 people. This hotel has nothing to do. It is a motel, but it is enough to sleep. It is very clean and tidy. There are three people. This is a very good thing to praise~~ Downstairs Bar can drink beer at night, play table games, hh, we stayed for 6 nights, every night, drinking and playing werewolf to kill giant happy, anyway, the place where the Gold Coast can play, have punched n net red restaurant, this hotel There is a place to sit on the opposite side of the position, it is very convenient to pull, half a go card travel version drops, 10 knives a day, very good than heart.

We stayed for 7 nights in room 27. It was very clean and perfect for what we needed, with a TV, fridge, kettle, toaster, fresh linen and towels, although the bed was quite uncomfortable. The room itself was a bit dark and dated but we can see the rooms are undergoing an upgrade so I’m sure this one will be done in time. The BBQ was great and always clean, the pool was brilliant and location to everything (including Coles 200m down the road) is perfect! The staff are all friendly and accommodating, and their little dog is gorgeous. If you are looking for awesome coffee we found a tiny caravan across the road at the Miami Caravan Park behind the surf club - amazing brew and lovely ladies!

The motel is better than I expected. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the airport. There is a bus stop at the door, which is very convenient. The front desk was very welcoming and gave breakfast, milk cereal and bread. The room is ok, tidy.

The photos provided by the operators are extremely deceptive. The accomodation is old and run down. The shower tiles were painted at some stage, and it is now peeling off both the floor and the walls. The “updated” vanity basin and tap are poorly sizes and you are unable to fully wash your face due to the shape and size of the basin with a shorter necked faucet . There is no complete enclosure for water in the shower resulting in you flooding the bathroom each time you shower- we ended up using the common showers in the passageway to attempt keep our room dry. The toilet paper is only single ply so bring your own if you decide to stay here !! Our towels and sheets had stains on them and the pillows are flat and lumpy. I wouldn’t swim in the pool unless you’ve had your latest tetanus shots. We were followed back to the accommodation by a slightly hostile homeless person one night which was slightly unnerving for our teenage daughters. The nicest part of this accommodation is the outdoor BBQ area. The breakfast provided smelt ok, but we decided to eat at the cafe at the marina each day as we were heading out to the reef and islands anyways. We decided to stay here and save money as generally we are out during the day and only need a comfortable bed and a clean shower- next time we will be going back to our regular accommodation closer to the Esplanade. I

I really loved this motel as it was very Quiet during the day and night, even though they were full with guests. The motel was very, very clean, the beds were very comfortable and there was enough room for my two young children to play. The staff at reception were so friendly and helpful in arranging a ground floor unit for me. I have noticed that many hotels in Cairns are not staffed since Covid and it was so wonderful to have friendly staff available at reception and answering phones. Thanks for a wonderful stay. I will be back.

For the price this place offers everything you need. The pool and kitchen area are appealing and a feature of the hotel. The secure car parking is great. The room itself has all the basics and a few extras like hair dryer and ironing board. The hot water and shower are excellent. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. Should you like a walk, the hotel is around a 30 to 40 minute walk to the foreshore lagoon area. Set in a generally quiet area with a few nearby shops and food outlets.

It is very rare to have a hotel of this price during the Spring Festival, so if this hotel can meet the basic needs of rest, in addition to additional facilities, it is really good value for money! First of all, the location of the hotel is a certain distance from the city center. It is a half-hour walk, but there is nothing to visit in the city, it is nothing more than a supermarket to buy things. Secondly, the hotel's facilities are complete, basic things are available, and you can rest well at night. There is also a kitchenette in the room where you can cook your own meals, which is really a bonus. Finally, because it is a motel, the service is basically absent, but the front desk staff are very enthusiastic, so there will be no uncomfortable feeling.

Staff are marvellous. Go the extra yards to accommodate you. Clean, off street parking, laundry and easy walking to all things in the heart of Csirns. 100m to the Cock n Bull Hotel, BWS, several take aways, gym, restaurants. Ill be back again snd agsin.

This hotel is very good. We are a family of three adults and one child. The room is very large, with a double bed (1.5 meters wide) and two single beds, separate bathroom, refrigerator, microwave oven, dishes, cutlery and forks. Spoons and toasters are very convenient. The hotel has no breakfast and no extra bed. It is suitable for a family. It can be said to be very good at this price. The hotel also has free parking spaces, free Wi-Fi, and a small swimming pool. The hotel is 1.2 kilometers away from the bustling beach area. You can eat and drink when you stroll. The location of the hotel is within the range of free pick-up and drop-off for day trips, which is very convenient.

We were a family with kids 3 and 7. We booked a triple room but got given a quad which was nice. It was a heat wave, but the aircon was super cold. The room and common areas were clean and inviting. The pool was a great escape from the heat. It was easy to walk into town and the Cairns Central Mall was across the road. I need to come again by myself and will be booking here again.
