Affordable, good location, good amenities, friendly and helpful staff. Room was a little warm, fan and planes were a bit noisy, but I can sleep through anything. For the good value, you have to compromise on something.

Super easy and convenient to get to the airport. For the area it was in between the highway and airport , very little noise made it into in the room.

We stayed here for one short night due to catching an early flight at the airport. It was loud with young travelers shutting doors loudly all night and lights were on in the hallways and shining into the rooms all night. There is no air-con and it was hot and stuffy even with the fan. The twin room is very small. It is only convenient to the airport. Long walks to restaurants and other Coolangatta attractions.

Very nice area, but there is nothing walk distance unless you really like to walk miles for a store or restaurant. Beach is beautiful and very close. Staff is wonderful. Unfortunately I was robbed by one of the guests but is not the hostel fault.

The room I was given did not get dark and the windows don’t fully close. The hall light remained on all night which was very disturbing. Noise levels were lower than expected which was nice.
