    Comfy beds, sociable atmosphere, pool, bar, and restaurant with good cheap food. Limited free breakfast with basic toast and cereal. Decent $3 coffee. Room change due to noise issue. Great location near beach, retail stores, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Nice common areas for meeting fellow travelers.

    It was close to the City

    The room we had was dirty, sheets were dirty, the windows didn't close, the neighbours were noisy, the bathroom was disgusting, no towels were provided, the room smelled musty. It was a bad experience and we wouldn't do it again

    We had a great experience at Backpackers In Paradise. the staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local area. They provided us with valuable information and recommendations. the rooms were spotlessly clean, including the bathrooms. the only minor issue was a rusty shower caddy that could be replaced. the facilities were simple and clean, exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. the hostel offered convenient amenities such as no deposit for keys and towels, plenty of fridges and storage space in the kitchen, and a nice outdoor area with a swimming pool. We stayed in a spacious four-person dorm, which was perfect for our needs. Cons: Nothing to be said. 😉.

    shower is hot and good

    No elevator and stair is too narrow, hardly take the baggage to second floor. For this price, it is OK.

    Fair location. few blocks from bars and restaurants.

    Too much noise and mess during the night. Hostel did a fake statement in the ad. Hostel stated there was private room with ensuite that actually was not true. The ensuite was actually a room with a shared bathroom for other two rooms. Definitely not comfortable for couple.

    I spent my Christmas break at an affordable hostel which had friendly staff and clean facilities. I was offered complementary activities like a free jet boat ride and snorkelling. The location of the hostel was spot on - just a five-minute walk from the tram stop, as well as restaurants, beaches and nightlife. I had a great time participating in fun activities like beer pong and making new friends.

    Although the continental breakfast was simple, I was disappointed that no tea or coffee was included. there was often a shortage of dinnerware for all guests, requiring the need to share with others.

    I recently stayed at a hostel in a great location on the Gold Coast and got fantastic value for my money. The room was clean and private, perfect for my needs. The staff at Backpackers In Paradise 18-35 were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The breakfast offerings could use some improvement, with just a basic selection of bread, butter, and jam.

    I had a pleasant stay at Backpackers In Paradise 18-35. the location was great, as it was in the CBD and close to everything. the showers were fantastic, with really good water pressure. the room was clean and the air conditioning was a lifesaver in the hot weather. the staff were awesome and really helpful, creating a great atmosphere.

    Nothing not to like 😊. the location, cleanliness, helpful staff, and affordable prices for food and drinks were all highlights of my experience.

    the location was ideal, close to key attractions we wanted to visit and the people we met were wonderful. the receptionist was exceptional, providing great customer service and was very accommodating.

    The lack of power sockets in the room was a major inconvenience for us. We were unable to charge our devices, which hampered our experience.

    I got great value for my money at Backpackers In Paradise 18-35. The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Cavil Ave and the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The breakfast menu could use some improvement.
