Decent hostel. Kitchen was dirty, narrow and small (basically a hallway), but was still useable. Staff were nice. They have a restaurant on site that made a great veggie burger. Central to bus station and downtown. Not sure if I would stay again.

Home away from home.
My stay was great! Staff made the stay even more enjoyable with entertainment and a quiz to bring everyone together. The entertainment host Mia was terrific in doing so. Thankyou for the stay and look forward to returning again.

The hostel was decent but a few things that stuck out was that the light in my bathroom didn't work and the Wi-Fi was terrible, even with an access code or paid plan. The common area outside got very loud at night, which made it hard to sleep for someone like me who is early to bed and early to rise. I wish there were some indoor common areas to stay in. With everything outdoors, it was too cold to be out there during the evening hours (I visited in July). Overall, not the worst hostel I have stayed in. Staff was very friendly.

Whilst this was convenient for my purposes, in that I was only there for a limited time, I did find it frustrating that the designated smoking area was between the main entry and reception area, meaning there was no option but to walk through it. Having said that, the designated non-smoking area was full of smokers as well. Also, no control over "quiet" time after midnight. Loud partying still going on until 2-3am on all 3 nights I was there. If you are a partying smoker, perfect for you :)

It's a party hostel, which is all good! just make sure you expect a lot of mess and a lot of noise, but you get what you pay for, its the cheapest hostel in surfers! and does have good hang out spaces but again there will always be people drinking and being rowdy.
