Beware of ants! They will find they way to the sweet things, even you haven't open the bag yet. It wasn't nice we you wanted to eat your gigner candy, but find out all of the ants. Kitchen was dirty all the time and people didn't wash their dishes. Suhar jar was full of ants about tree days... VERY NOISY at night because people are drinking and no one is not telling them to be quite. Reception wasn't open all the time, not good. Older man was cleaning outside and use the same brush on ground and tables aswell (where you eat!), gross... ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1683-p6f0f2040-a7aa-11e6-a64d-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauri ### 6/10 Okay #### Juliana 20 Nov 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Razoável, o quarto em si era bom, mas esquentava muito durante o dia e o ar era daqueles antigos e não dava conta durante o dia. O hostel em si é muito bem localizado, mas tinha muita barata, ainda mais na cozinha. Os banheiros também não era dos mais limpos, mas tudo ok ##### Juliana Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 27 Jun 2021 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Do not book through lastminute as there was no accommodation and they still have not replied there is no number to call do not use this web site ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Garry, Sheffield 12 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was very good value for money and the ground staff were superb ##### Garry Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2020 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities All was good, except the Room smelled as if someone urinated in the sink. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 13 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked our room, it was spacious and we have own shower in the room.

One of the guys who works there, Tripp, was so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and overall a great guy to chat to. With two shared kitchens and plenty of shared bathrooms and shower rooms dotted around, I never found myself waiting to grab a shower or use kitchen facilities. Met the loveliest travellers here too and have lots of fond memories playing board games and having a few beers with other travelling folk. Would come back in a heartbeat. Five minute walk into town, 15 minute walk to esplanade and lovely lagoon swimming area. Also check out down under pool bar for great beer, free pool and a good laugh. ##### Johnathan Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Jul 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Close to shops and city. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Shared toilet was always clean. I have stayed here twice the communal areas (tv room, kitchen, laundry, outside area) cleanliness all depends on the backpackers there at the time ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 26 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were great.

We had a double room which had just a bed in it. The room was hot, dirty and we were glad moving out again.

Insetti che ti invadono i mobili e girano sul letto, in altre camere presenza di scarafaggi di 6cm (dei piccoli mostri che ti girano intorno) i bagni e le docce sono sporchi e lo stesso vale per la cucina (si salvano solo gli utensili perché i ragazzi li lavano col DETERSIVO). Possibilità di lavare i panni per 4 dollari, ottima cosa. Internet gratis, piscina dove ti prendi tutte le malattie possibili e giardino. Ho usato mezzo flacone di ammoniaca pura per pulire la camera dagli insetti e il bagno dallo schifo..dopo ciò si può dormire. Prezzo ottimo per lo scarso servizio che offre. Siamo sopravvissuti :D ##### francesca ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Staff and other guests were friendly. Unfortunately the blind did not fully cover the window and there was no curtain, so it was not possible to shut out the outside light. It was not possible either to shut out the noise of the air conditioning unit from the building next door. Overall though, value for money. ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### yang, taiwan 12 Apr 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 位置離市區一段路，房間蠻髒的 我們住雙人房，洗手台水槽整夜漏水，浴室在房間，但只有門簾，洗完澡門口就淹水了。 房間沒有很乾淨，位置離市區走路25分鐘左右，不算很近。 店員很棒，服務真的很好，也很和善。 ##### yang ### 2/10 Terrible #### Frank, cairns 5 Apr 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Arrived to find no one at office.Phoned number on Worst place I have ever stayed in.Towels smelt disgusting.pillows were mouldy.bottles and rubbish under bed.sink had shaven facial hair and mould.would not sty there if they paid me.Do yourself a favour and stay well clear of this health hazard! ##### Frank ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Grand-At-The-Star-Gold-Coast.h6921.Hotel-Information) > > [Rydges Gold Coast Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tweed-Heads-Hotels-Rydges-Gold-Coast-Airport.h57794898.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Coolangatta Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Coolangatta-YHA-Hostel.h9624261.Hotel-Information) > > [Crystalbrook Bailey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bailey-A-Crystalbrook-Collection-Hotel.h36684912.Hotel-Information) > > [Phoenician Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Phoenician-Resort.h456419.Hotel-Information) > > [Noosa Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Harbour-Resort.h4478149.Hotel-Information) > > [The Edge Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rockhampton-Hotels-The-Edge-Apartment-Hotel.h4313015.Hotel-Information) > > [Tangalooma Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Tangalooma-Island-Resort.h2254989.Hotel-Information) > > [Chill Backpackers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Chill-Backpackers.h37147932.Hotel-Information) > > [City Backpackers HQ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-City-Backpackers-HQ.h20576485.Hotel-Information) > > [BUNK Surfers Paradise - International Backpacker Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-BUNK-Backpackers-Surfers-Paradise-Hostel.h16174712.Hotel-Information) > > [Turtle Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Turtle-Beach-Resort.h2649543.Hotel-Information) > > [Aries Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Aries-Holiday-Apartments.h83398932.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Blue-Lagoon-Resort.h1773107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Star Residences Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Residences-Gold-Coast.h72545549.Hotel-Information) > > [Don Pancho by the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bundaberg-Hotels-Don-Pancho-By-The-Beach.h2161531.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Brisbane City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane.h119509.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lake Iseo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Iseo-Hotels.d6049435.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Unit 3 Noosa Moorings, 303 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Noosaville-Hotels-Endless-Water-Views-In-Noosaville-Noosa-Heads-Unit-3-Noosa-Moorings.h38124679.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > > [Soda Apartments by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Soda.h16219162.Hotel-Information) > > [Eagle Heights Mountain Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Eagle-Heights-Mountain-Hotel.h19287204.Hotel-Information) > > [ULTIQA Burleigh Mediterranean Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-Mediterranean-Resort.h980661.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [LyLo Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Limes-Boutique-Hotel.h2135031.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to San Bartolome (ACE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ace/london-to-arrecife) ---
