Cheers Backpackers by far has been the best Hostel/Backpackers I have stayed in Within Australia. It has friendly, helpful staff, clean toilets, and showers. A fun relaxed atmosphere for a night in, or for the party animals they have different deals with a nightclub each night! A fully furnished kitchen, beautiful pool area and a great little bar setup with... More

It was nice to be picked up from the bus station and taken to our hostel but the girl who picked us up looked pretty miserable about it. When we got there they were quick to make us pay for our room as soon as we stepped through the door, maybe because they knew that if we had a chance... More

When friends ask, 'so what was your best & worst hostel?'... Well, this, without a moment's hesitation is the worst hostel. I echo all of the sentiments of the comments underneath, namely; extremely rude, obnoxious and arrogant Millwall (I believe) supporting owner, filthy amenities, filthy rooms, beds plagued with bed lice, uncomfortably warm rooms etc Would not wish it on...

This hostel is without a doubt the dirtiest, smelliest, most poorly serviced, run down dump I have every had to put up with. The rooms are small and musty, the beds lumps and uncomfortable. It took 20 min to be served at the front desk, and we were shocked to see how expensive it was for what you got. We... More

When I arrived at 'Cheers' I cried. It was so bad I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown. Our room wasn't ready till 6pm, and it only provided enough room for us to stand up in single file. It was so ridiculously hot that I thought we were going to run out of air in the middle... More

Poor facilities. Poor cleanliness and hygiene. Cockroaches under the kitchen and if they are under the kitchen they are in it. Bed mites due to the bottom sheets never being changed, you are only supplied with one sheet and two pillow cases. Illegal substances being used on the premises by the staff and guests. The staff are lacking in organisational... More

Do not stay here if you wish to actually sleep. It was so so noisy, it sounded like people were standing out our bedroom door constantly screaming. I don't think i actually even got to sleep untill well after 4:30am, then had to check out by 10am. Plus the mattress were so bad i could feel the metal underneath me.It... More

I haven't stayed in many backpackers, but ANY place beats Cheers! They say they have a pool and spa... well the spa was NOT working and had rubbish in it and the pool gave me an ear infection!! The Kitchen had rats that we saw crawling through it at night! The fridge was disgusting and fulled with old food, it... More

If you like rules and dislike fun, Cheers Backpackers is the place to stay. The kitchen closes at 8 pm (so if you have anything in the fridge you better get it out before 8!). The hostel has a bar, but they ban all outside alcohol. We came back with some beer and they took it away from us and... More
