The price was right, but definitely a bit more rowdy than other YHA hostels in Australia. Not a family friendly atmosphere, with heavy drinking & substance abuse by most of the young clientele (many smokd up right in the common area). The hostel staff are amazing, though. There’s a bit of a problem with long term residents here, so my room was piled with someone’s boxes and personal effects - barely an inch to walk. Would I stay again? Probably only in a private room. This was by far the rowdiest hostel I stayed at in Australia, so just know what you’re getting into. Despite the young and immature crowd, the facilities were generally well appointed, with a spacious common kitchen, a daytime hours pool, and an excellent location just a stone’s throw from Broome airport and the bus stop to Cable Beach. So, don’t be deterred, but just keep in mind who you’ll be staying with
