Free use of both washing machine & dryer, laundry facilities, including the provision of laundry detergent;+ Cable TV; + quick, easy, close by, walking distance, to GLink Tram, Cavill Mall, Surf Lifesaver Flags @ Surfers Paradise & Northcliff Beaches; yet quiet location. Not good:- the couches! They need to be replaced/upgraded asap, VERY VERY uncomfortable & zilch ergonomic support! Also, the intermittent, yet repetitive noise, between 12 midnight & 4 AM, JUST below the sleeping/bedrooms, from VERY VERY loud, talking & laughing, SMOKERS!!!

The best run hostel in Australia. Very well managed, and staff well selected. I was actually impressed! Which is rare.

Some of the backpackers guests are pigs. Despite signs asking them to clean up and CTV cameras they leave dirty dishes with food scraps in the sink and on the TV Lounge table. The ladder to the top double bunk bed in Rm 5 was not fixed to the frame and made a loud noise when used. The facilities are actually pretty good if some of the guests could be more considerate.

Nice stay- party hostel
I found the staff very helpful and friendly upon my arrival, the hostel is pretty much a party hostel, and I was just about partied out by the time I got there but I found it cool nonetheless and I was able to sleep pretty well at night. The location is fantastic very close to the greyhound bus station and right in the heart of everything at Surfers, not a bad choice if your staying in the area for a few days.

Cheapest fun on the GC
Couple of old mad cat 30-40 somethings - we had the private 2 bed bunk room.... Super location 5 mins from beach and Cavill. Very fresh and new feel to the facilities, nice kitchen setup, decent size TV room with comfy couches and around 6 Apple PCs available to use. As with any hostel expect to encounter excitable good looking young adults, noise at various times, and the occasional goon bag 😂. But all in all we had a great time!

Good location and cheap
I spent three days with my friend in Down Under Hostels. Excellent Location which has some many public transportation surrounding. Also, the staff are really easygoing and polite. However, the room is a bit smelly and a bit dirty.

Ok place but should be improved
It was located close to downtown. That's it's positive side. But they didn't have lockers in the rooms, no seperate electricity socket for each bed or lamp. Thus it was challenging to charge a phone and secure our important things.

2/10 Poor

Good hostel ruined by Staff
The major problem with this hostel was the staff had no control. No control of the guests screaming/shouting/singing till 2am, no control of the cleaners leaving unused tampons and one inch screws in the middle of the room upon check-in, and no control of themselves more interested in smoking (right next to a no smoking sign) rather than checking in guests.
