Inget hostel för dem som letar efter ett tyst ställe, då stället har öppen bar för allmänheten. Stora rena rum med eget badrum och nära till allt! Receptionen hjälpte mer än gärna till att boka taxi till busstationen efter utcheckning! ##### Ina ### 8/10 Good #### Julien 16 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Julien ### 4/10 Poor #### Tee, M 10 Jan 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It was very basic, good enough to sleep!

Air con worked but only just so nights were hot. Cleaners came in every day and did a good job. Bar had a really good atmosphere. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 16 Dec 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort good to go for party all night long but still a cheap hostel would recommend normads hostel in stead ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### mitch, Deutschland, Berlin 12 Dec 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn't recommend The rooms are large, the air con isn't working really well for 10 persons room. The bathrooms are dirty, the staff is friendly, the location is nice. Wouldn't stay there again ##### mitch ### 8/10 Good #### Charlotte 10 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Very good value for price Beaches is, as far as I can judge the best option of all backpacker hostels in Airlie Beach as it is super centric (right next to the lagoon and all major shopping and going out facilities) and possesses of a chilled out hammock area as well as its own bar/restaurant with different activities, live music and party every night. Staff is super nice and comforting, our room was huge and clean (but not very cozy though) and you even get 50% on the meal deal every night (which means a meal + a drink for only $7.50!). The kitchen can be a little crowded when it's busy and at night it can get a little loud if youre staying in one of the rooms next to the bar. Would definitely come here again :) ##### Charlotte ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 7 Dec 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Misaki 15 Nov 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Central and noisy This hostel is located central. That's why it's easy to walk somewhere. They hold own bar, so it is noisy over midnight. ##### Misaki ### 6/10 Okay #### HN, JAPAN 14 Oct 2016 Disliked: Staff & service #### 大きなバックパッカーホステル この日の部屋はとても良い部屋でしたが、翌日の部屋はうるさい部屋でした。 キッチンの火が自動着火だったので、助かった ##### HN ### 6/10 Okay #### HN, JAPAN 14 Oct 2016 Disliked: Staff & service #### 大きなバックパッカーホステル 部屋によってはとても静かだけれど　道側は深夜まで　パブのノイズがうるさくて辛いかも お湯はよく出るので嬉しいかも ##### HN ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 22 Aug 2016 Liked: Cleanliness #### Peu mieux faire Très bien situé mais bruyant le soir (bar situé juste à côté). CHambre spacieuse et propre mais la literie devrait être renouvelée.

Cheap and clean private room. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend it. Much better than Base. On thing about the hostels in Airlie is that you are not allowed to have alcohol on your rooms. So strange and it should say so on hotels.com. ##### Mikael ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clint, Aberdeen, SD 2 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great faces, great places.
