Free use of both washing machine & dryer, laundry facilities, including the provision of laundry detergent;+ Cable TV; + quick, easy, close by, walking distance, to GLink Tram, Cavill Mall, Surf Lifesaver Flags @ Surfers Paradise & Northcliff Beaches; yet quiet location. Not good:- the couches! They need to be replaced/upgraded asap, VERY VERY uncomfortable & zilch ergonomic support! Also, the intermittent, yet repetitive noise, between 12 midnight & 4 AM, JUST below the sleeping/bedrooms, from VERY VERY loud, talking & laughing, SMOKERS!!!

The best run hostel in Australia. Very well managed, and staff well selected. I was actually impressed! Which is rare.

Some of the backpackers guests are pigs. Despite signs asking them to clean up and CTV cameras they leave dirty dishes with food scraps in the sink and on the TV Lounge table. The ladder to the top double bunk bed in Rm 5 was not fixed to the frame and made a loud noise when used. The facilities are actually pretty good if some of the guests could be more considerate.

Nice stay- party hostel
I found the staff very helpful and friendly upon my arrival, the hostel is pretty much a party hostel, and I was just about partied out by the time I got there but I found it cool nonetheless and I was able to sleep pretty well at night. The location is fantastic very close to the greyhound bus station and right in the heart of everything at Surfers, not a bad choice if your staying in the area for a few days.

Cheapest fun on the GC
Couple of old mad cat 30-40 somethings - we had the private 2 bed bunk room.... Super location 5 mins from beach and Cavill. Very fresh and new feel to the facilities, nice kitchen setup, decent size TV room with comfy couches and around 6 Apple PCs available to use. As with any hostel expect to encounter excitable good looking young adults, noise at various times, and the occasional goon bag 😂. But all in all we had a great time!

Good location and cheap
I spent three days with my friend in Down Under Hostels. Excellent Location which has some many public transportation surrounding. Also, the staff are really easygoing and polite. However, the room is a bit smelly and a bit dirty.

Ok place but should be improved
It was located close to downtown. That's it's positive side. But they didn't have lockers in the rooms, no seperate electricity socket for each bed or lamp. Thus it was challenging to charge a phone and secure our important things.

Good hostel ruined by Staff
The major problem with this hostel was the staff had no control. No control of the guests screaming/shouting/singing till 2am, no control of the cleaners leaving unused tampons and one inch screws in the middle of the room upon check-in, and no control of themselves more interested in smoking (right next to a no smoking sign) rather than checking in guests.

아이러니하게 적은 인원이 투숙하는 방일 수록 여유공간이 좁아요. 14인실이 제일 여유공간이 넓어요. 무료세탁은 좋구요. 밤에 너무 시끄러워요. 엄청 친절한 직원도 있고 딱딱한 직원도 있구요.

일부 직원은 친절하고 일부 직원은 그냥 보통인듯 합니다. 화장실과 샤워실이 분리가 되어있어서 괜찮아요. 무료 세탁도 좋구요. 다만 조식 주는 남자분이 매일 제가 주문한 토스트는 알겠다고 하고 항상 뒷사람부터 챙겨주고 꼭 제가 다시 내 음식은 안주냐고 다시 말해야 줍니다. 한두번은 그러려니 넘어갔는데 3일째도 똑같아요. 인종차별하는 건가요? 직원 마인드부터 다시 가르치셔야 할듯 합니다.

good location
立地はサーファーズパラダイスから徒歩圏でとても良かった。スーパーマーケットも近く、トラムの駅までも近い。 部屋は窓がない部屋だったので眼が覚めると部屋が真っ暗。 一人旅だったので外にいる時間の方が長いからあまり気になら無いが、換気もできなく匂いがこもっていた。

スタッフの感じの良さを帳消しにするほどの、部屋のクオリティの低さ
女性4人部屋に１泊しました。正直一泊でよかったな、と思いました。 部屋は２段ベッドだったのですが、コンセントが明らかに下の段の人しか使えない位置にあり、下の人のベッドを跨いだりしないと使えなかったので、使うのに大変苦労しました。(私の場合下の段の人がいい人だったので、使えました) また、梯子は「これ折れるんじゃないか」と感じるほどの音を立ててきしみ、寝返りをうとうものなら、またすごい音出してしまうので、ゆっくり寝ることが出来ませんでした。 シャワーとトイレは男女共有で、2階のフロアにはトイレがありませんでした(改装中のようだったので、もしかしたら今後できるのかも)とても綺麗、というわけではありませんでしたが、ちゃんと掃除はされているようでした。 あと、夜遅くまでプレイルーム？でDJをやっているのでとてもうるさいです。朝早くに起きたい方、ゆっくり寝たい方などにはおすすめしません。私はイヤホンをして寝ました。 立地は中心部からも近いので便利です。 受付の方たちはとても感じがよかったですが、二度と泊まらないと思います。

ビーチには近いけど…
立地は確かによく、サーファーズパラダイスまでは歩いて5分くらいだし、スーパーも近くにあって助かった。 しかし、安いからか分からないが、若くて騒がしい人がたくさんいた。 二階の部屋の声が一階の自分の部屋まですごく聞こえた。 また部屋も汚い。 従業員は可愛くて優しい、いい人だった。
