The location is amazing, a short walk to the beach and main clubs. Majority of the staff were exceptional however there was one point where we were in our room ill and a cleaner came into our room ‘to clean’ and wouldn’t leave for a solid 5 minutes of us asking. The cleanliness of our room was also questionable with stains and dirt all over the floor but the overall atmosphere is really friendly

Affordable and great for young people

Pretty basic accommodation- you get what you pay for. It's great for young people who want to meet other young people from around the world. There's some opportunities to pay for accommodation by working in housekeeping. Good location - 10mins from the beach and all the amenities. There's a fully licensed bar, a swimming pool, fully kitted kitchen, and laundry facilities. Highly recommended if you want somewhere affordable to stay in Surfer's Paradise.
