What people say
Location near airport, good if your arriving by plane and just staying few nights. A bit of from action in Coolangatta, but distance is still walkable. Hostel has got free shuttle bus to town during the day. Good kitchen. Younger girl (with dark hair) working in the hostel was really kind. Internet worked fine, nice tv-lounge with sofas.
For those flying in and/or out of the Gold Coast, it is a good place to start or finish your trip. Transport to everything is easy and its proximity to the airport was great. Good value for the $5 BBQ. all reviews »

It was near the airport which was great for us since we left early to
catch our flight and we could walk to the airport.

Proximity to airport.
Proximity to airport.
It's a bit worn out, even if it's quite clean. Should do some updating for the look of the hostel.
Nothing negative to say.
people talking outside the dorm at 1am - 3am in the morning; (totally inconsiderate backpackers); does it take up too much intelligence to consider to realise there would be some clients having very early flights?.
breky starts at 7 which i missed out on as leaving early.
quite expensive and far from everything.
Cold showers, light coming into room from outside, and traffic noise.
The room was really low-end and for this price you would expect your own
bathroom and air-conditioning.
too far from the downtown.
value is in price of dorm. For extra dollars I would stay in a real hotel rather than a room at YHA. Road and airport noise, plus noisy tourist guests.
No aircon, no ensuite, very basic, tiny room, transparent curtains with bright light outside.
