Could be abit cleaner

Music instruments, and nice vibe

Stayed in June 2025

The place needs a refurbishment or at least a freshen up. It clearly has not been touched since at least 2006. (Based on date of old framed pics in hall way.). A bedside lamp and power points for each bed, and privacy curtains fir bunk beds would be great. Or at least hooks for towels in room for wet towels, and a bench in the bathroom next to vanity to place toiletry bag on ( i can't believe there isn't one - makes bathroom time very onconevient).

The temp manager was fantastic.

- the reception was unattended when I arrived. - the shower doors in the bathrooms had broken locks, which was a bit inconvenient. -towels are available for an extra $3 charge.

- free parking nearby.

Great vibe, friendly staff, a very cozy place overall

Well, it s a backpacker and it feels oldish, however facilities were cleant and maintained well. It was good to stay for couple of days

I liked the friendly staff and the fair clean of the property overall.

The hostel needs a really good cleaning. Our room had clearly not been cleaned before we arrived (dirt on carpets, stains, pieces of trash lying around). The common areas also could do with a deep clean. However for the nightly price we cannot complain :)

Good location, the manager who checked us in was very friendly and even organised a dorm to ourselves which was really nice :) clean bedsheets and towels on arrival. We didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed to have everything you would need

central, spacious

Location, it was 2,5 km from the Greyhound bus stop and the main road. Busses don’t start early and are not until late. No good connections, No ubers available and the cab didn’t show. So what are you going to do there? If you love walking around the beach it’s the place to be. My last experience was I had to walk with my heavy backpack for 2,5km to the bus.

Jackie (reception) was really great! She arranged I could stay in the room even though I had 2 bookings. Nice people, not party hostel. Just cosy. The facility was really clean. everyday they clean bathroom around 14:00 really good.

the room was small and not well ventilation inside

location, cooking facilities and friendly staff

Stayed in August 2022

I believe I saw a tiny cockroaches among the old cooking pots that were probably not being touched for a long time.

The bathroom was very clean, which was something I did not expect for a backpackers hostel. The rooms were clean and the beds were in good condition. Even the pillows in the duvets were great to be used during the upcoming winters. They’ve also got plenty of kitchen utensils for you to use and both gas stoves and electric stoves. They’ve got tea towels and freezer plus fridges for you to store your groceries. I also liked that they had guitars and Netflix for everyone to watch in a clean and cozy environment. The Muttonbird Island is just a walk or even a bus right away. There’s grocery stores like Woolworths and Kohls and even their local supermarkets that are by walking distance as well. There is a beach nearby and you get to experience pretty much the Australian cultures of people bringing their dogs out for walks, this Sunday Harbourside markets, enjoying views from the jetty, Asian food located down the street, even school so it’s a quiet town but you’ve got access to all these things through the backpackers hostel. There’s even a bus station right outside.

The hostel is not well maintained. The staff is not very pleasant and competent. The facilities, common areas and rooms are not very clean. The price is far too high for the service provided.

It's ok for one night no more.

Stayed in April 2025

The kitchen and the bedrooms were quite dirty. There was no air con in the room and the room smelt damp.

Location was very good and the shared bathrooms were nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful

Stayed in March 2025

a lot of long term workers, not the most social but also due to there not being a lot on in Coffs Harbour itself!

The staff were very friendly, free paddle board hire was awesome and the local church donated a bunch of free food to the hostel which was ideal!

Stayed in February 2025

As a suggestion to the hostel, could be a good idea have a cleaner every day and clean the room every check out. There were dirty sheets on the beds, dirty towels and the carpet full of dust, piece of papers and other things ( vacuum cleaner once per week is not enough) No air conditioners, fan broken ( all of them)

Near to the beach Good location Availability for different types of rooms Pool area Very quiet

It was way too hot in the room even with a fan.

The location was good and the man at the reception was super friendly.

Welcoming and flexible staff

The bathroom and shower facilities were fairly new so was really happy with that. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was huge and had all the items that you would need from every pot and pan you could think of to a rice maker. We actually extended our stay because we were really happy with it. Walking distance from everywhere and the bus stop is right outside the hostel. Staff were really helpful too, great advice on things to do and places to go!

I didn’t even bother staying. Walked in and walked back out. Really messy, stunk like smoke and dirty/boots everywhere, no one anywhere to help check me in. Felt uncomfortable being there as a solo female traveler.

Stayed in April 2024

First of all, it is infested with bedbugs! I spent one night there and got my whole arm bitten up and got them in my luggage. Second, the place is very badly kept and unclean. As you walk in, it looks like you are entering a horror movie. Smell of cigarette, ashtray with at least 50 cig butts, dirty and smelly kitchen, dirty and smelly bed and the bathroom is just better not to walk in. It is indeed cheap, but honestly better to pay up a bit more and be at a decent place

Nothing
