Location was excellent. Self-service breakfast (pancakes and eggs that you cook yourself, with fruits provided sometimes) was a nice touch. Staff were super friendly, and people there were very nice. I loved that they had activities planned out practically everyday, which brought the hostel community together. Bicycle, surfboard and wetsuit rentals for residents had the best value prices in the area. Lovely patio area that faces the beach where you can enjoy drinks on the bar chairs, couches or hammocks.

Depending on which room you're staying in, it can get very noisy. I was woken up almost everyday by the garbage truck in the morning since the garbage bins were on the road right beside my room. Dorm room is pretty small for the number of beds and I can imagine it could get quite packed and claustrophobic if it was completely full. Be prepared to wait to use the toilet, as each dorm room only has one shared bathroom and there is another shared bathroom in the common area.

One of the best hostels I've ever sit in my life shout to Carl shout out to Kira shout out to anybody who's reading this you guys were the best II can't think of anything negative to say about the place except you know I mean it kind of saw a little bit weird you know kind of you know dog walking me on the eating

Well there's certain times where you can't use the restroom at all because people are hogging the restroom and there are people there that definitely hog the restroom where you take a shower and where you need to do your you know number one and number two but at the same time I you know I got all that selled but there is a problem with the amount of restrooms per person

I absolutely loved the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere of the hostel. Its beachfront location provided incredible views and made it easy to enjoy the ocean at any time. The common areas were well-designed for meeting new people, and the events hosted by the staff added a fun, social element to my stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always going out of their way to ensure guests had a memorable experience. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was, even with such a lively crowd.

While overall I had an amazing time and was sad to leave :( there wasn’t anything I didint like

What didn’t you like about the property? While overall I had a great time, I really didn’t experience anything that I didn’t like while staying there

The staff were super accommodating. The beds were comfy. I didn’t even have to lock my stuff up hut they do have lockers there for those that need that extra piece of mind. They have weekly activities there too so you always have something to look forward to! The nightlife was 11/10. Also located right by a 7-Eleven for alcohol. The beach is right there and connects to a tons of other great places to explore up and down the boardwalk. I can’t wait to come back, thank you ITH!

That we couldn’t blast music late at night but thats okay… theres tons of places to go and enjoy that kind of vibe

+++The location was absolutely amazing, definitely best thing about the place! ++Feel of the place was pretty solid, effort into the daily activities and get-togethers was great resulting in a decent atmosphere. +Overall people were friendly, and most of the staff were great.

—-Facilities and rooms are in considerable need of some work, and judging by the reviews have done so for some time. —Few staff members were very much to themselves and stand-offish. -Dependant on which 4bedder you stay in, staff members will go through your room to access theirs.

The location is unbeatable, right on the beach. The staff is nice and they offer breakfast every morning as well as other events where you get the change to meet other travellers.

The place needs a bit of maintenance, some painting probably. It looks a bit unorganized, especially the kitchen and dining area with all the utensils.

Location: - beach right there (nice view from the balcony as well). - busy area. - bunch of food options. Volleyball (played everyday with other travelers and staff from the hostel). Breakfast: you can make your own eggs and pancakes Price Offering to change your room if someone snores (have not tried it only saw the sign). They also offer free earplugs. Free towels.

Quiet times are not followed or "enforced". I've had other hostels do a better job at ensuring quiet times are followed and respected by all travelers. Cat roaming free in the room and on the beds (It's the hostels cat). Note: I'm sure they would have done something about it if I said I did not like cats or prefer not having one around, but I'm not afraid or allergic to cats, so I didn't bother bringing it up. Also, if you like cats I guess this might be a plus to you. The rest of the stuff I "did not like" I expected since it is a hostel such as (number of people in room, snoring, ...). But still fine for the the price. Note: they have a sign that say you can ask to switch rooms if your roommate snores and they offer earplugs for free.

It is RIGHT on the beach which is what drew me to this hostel. I stayed in the 8 bed women's room, and because it is upstairs in the back, it was a pretty quiet room - probably the best location for me. I did wear earplugs to sleep since I tend to go to bed pretty early. There are daily events which are fun, and the deck is great - hammocks and couches, and there is always fun music playing and people hanging out. They also have beach chairs and stuff to borrow which was awesome. I went to Heart Yoga in nearby Mission Beach for beach yoga and it was lifechanging.

I wish the bunk beds had things like curtains or privacy screens, and shelves with outlets, like I've seen at other hostels. Also, the bathroom in our 8 bed women's room was a traditional bathroom, so if someone was taking a shower or was in there a long time, you had to go downstairs and hope the one off the deck was open. In other hostels, they have toilet stalls and shower stalls so that there is more availability.

The staff was AMAZING!!!! Everyone went above and beyond. I felt so comfortable and relaxed🙂 the location is right on the beach near many things. I found the other people traveling to have a warm energy. It really felt as if this place attracts the best energy this world has to offer.

I don't have anything bad to say about my experience
