BED BUGS. BED BUGS. BED BUGS!!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!! BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! This property is well aware they have bed bugs yet do nothing to fix the problem. I woke up at 4am with acute itching (then could no longer sleep!) 48hours later I am still itching, with large red inflamed patches all over my body which will leave scars and a hugely swollen finger that is weeping at the bite mark and likely infected, meaning I am limited in the use of my hand and may have to see a doctor. Avoid this place if you value your health and safety. They also are offering a 'competition' incentive if you leave them a review, therefore I would not trust any favourable reviews. ##### Mj Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gabrielle 30 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness Decent hostel.

It's great for young people who want to meet other young people from around the world. There's some opportunities to pay for accommodation by working in housekeeping. Good location - 10mins from the beach and all the amenities. There's a fully licensed bar, a swimming pool, fully kitted kitchen, and laundry facilities. Highly recommended if you want somewhere affordable to stay in Surfer's Paradise. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Erik 27 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No air condition system Acomodation was sauna hot.
