Loved our stay - stayed in a private room with my partner. The location is AMAZING so close to the beach and was able to walk to all the restaurants and bars. We even had an ocean view! Staff were very lovely too!

There was one lady staff who were so kind. Due to my knee injuries, she helped me look for a bottom bed bunk herself and found me the best shared room. Thank you so much indeed. I am still very grateful till this day. The areas around this YHA were really nice - refreshing and relaxing. I'm wishing to visit there again.

It was a great location, nice facilities and an easy time. We did have a car and it is paid parking all around the area is 2 hours between 9am - 6pm Mon-Friday. Nobby's and Mereweather Beach offer 4 hours free parking and I am sure there will be other locations to find around the area. Didn't affect our experience

Some problems due to workmen staying at the youth hostel. Wandering through corridors in tight, skimpy underpants, noisy, unfriendly.
Also urine all over toilet seat in men's bathroom/toilets on first floor.

The location is excellent. It's close by to the light rail station and bus stop. It's also close to the beach! Plenty of dining option nearby. The facilities are also great. I especially like the lounge area. Most importantly, I feel safe staying there as a solo female traveller.
Feedback: The pillow case and the blanket in my single room has stains on them.

Ok
Good place but looking a bit run down. Toilets and showers are old. No aircon in the rooms, especially bad in the 10 bed dorm

Good base, nice atmosphere
The place is clean with good facilities and a nice atmosphere. Minutes from shops, places to eat and the beaches.
It’s an old building so can be noisy- windows rattle, pipes scream, floorboards creak and the rooms need to have slow shutters attached- doors slam all night.
Good communal areas and friendly, helpful staff.
