Walking distance to most places. Super clean. Excellent room. Comfortable bed. Had a queen room with it’s own shower. Would recommend and would absolutely stay there again.

Kim was really outstanding in her service. I had accidentally booked into a mixed dorm that was full of males, and when she knew I was coming for a funeral, she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate me. I ended up having a room to myself with waterfront views. This is not the norm, so I was ever so appreciative. Apart from that I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the building is perfectly situated and surrounded by cool things to see and do. Thanks Global. I’ll be back again. 😘

I had a short one night stay due to busy travel home to Denmark (Corona) and limited flights. Excellent location and nice people. Fine kitchen area and roof terrace. Room could need a little better floor cleaning. I was in a 4 bed with no bathroom but fine terrace with ocean view.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel. When I arrived, I was able to upgrade to a 4 bed dorm with en-suite which I had to myself. The hostel staff let me check in early and were really helpful regarding trips in the area. The view from the kitchen is brilliant. The rooms are really clean and so are the communal spaces. There is a decent free breakfast in the mornings too. This is probably the best hostel I’ve stayed at on the east coast!

Great place in a great location. Clean modern friendly. Swimming across the road in the lagoon is wonderful. Cheap meals at PJ oBrien with a hostel voucher a bonus. 99% perfect. Only issues slightly warm at night even with air con which is set at 24 degs and a bit of shade in the dining area at breakfast would help. View from breakfast area is superb.

I stayed in a four-bed dorm with sea view and balcony. It was very nice. The kitchen and eating area are on a fourth-floor balcony looking out over the water. Although a holiday period, the hostel was not full, possibly because travelers have not yet discovered the value this hostel now offers.
