We have just checked into our ensuite double having spent the night in a hostel at mission beach. This modern hostel is located right in the heart of the main waterfront area, the rooms are in corridors which lead off from a central area which has internet cafe, bars, restaurants etc so you are literally a few steps away from... more

Great location. Rooms are very clean and comfortable beds. Good facilities. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm with a gorgeous sea view (ask for that room if possible) which was very good. AUD30 per night which can be costly if staying a long time but I preferred it to the YHA. more

Can only recommend this backpackers. We stayed also in other backpakers in Airlie Beach, but this one had the friendliest service and the best value for money. more

Well, I was really struggling to find somewhere to stay in Airlie for my recent brief backpacking trip up the coast... I'd heard all sorts of horror stories, and read a few dodgy reviews of other places in the town, so decided on Airlie Waterfront backpackers, mainly because 1. its the closest place to the bus station so not too... more

Dirty, shocking, terrible noisy place to stay. We stayed here 8 days, room didn't get checked once, toilet paper ran out, they wouldn't replace. Rooms were dirty, dark and dingy. Nothing was appealing about this place. more

We spent a few nights here and would not recommend it or ever go back. First of all, our double room was like a jail cell. No window, no table, nothing but a bed and a fan. Apparently some of the dorm rooms are better though. The common area of our place had such a cold (not temperature) feeling as... more

Disgusting bathrooms. A deposit is required for E-V-E-R-Y-thing. Staff complains they are not paid enough to do their job. Staff is not nice. Staff makes accusations to guests. Staff needs customer service training. Got a sore throat, runny nose from staying there. Two others complained of same symptoms. All the hostels in this town are crude. Try to find another... more

Management response from
ajor, Owner

There is more to this story. We remember this guest for whom we were storing a package in our safe behind reception. Our reception staff were serving other customers when this guest went behind the counter to access the safe by herself. Our staff intervened and politely explained that she needed to wait for a staff member because its a...

Wow I can't believe no one has written a review on this one yet!!! Well I am staying here one night and it is the BEST hostel I've stayed at so far on my trip (traveling in NZ/AU). It is very basic and plain and is $30 AU/night but you know what? Who cares? A 4 person share room has... more
