I enjoyed this hostel. It was the second best one that I stayed at on the east coast as far as professionalism and cleanliness. It has no charm to it, but it is in a good location, it is reasonably priced. It is right above restaurants and convenience shops, and there are balconies overlooking the water which are nice to...

The worst hostel I've stayed in, in years. The only reason to stay here is location but there are other hostels nearby. More

This hostel was a breath of fresh air on our travels. The staff treat customers like they are paying customers which is a rare experience in hostels. They were beyond helpful and went out of their way to help us with booking trips etc. The rooms were really nice, the 4 bed dorms had an ensuite and were clean and... More

Originally booked into YHA in Airlie and left after one night. This hostel is awesome, I had a view over the beach, aircon, and no bunk beds in a 4 bed female dorm.

If you're staying at a backpackers and spending minimal money a night, you should just expect nothing special. Great location, nothin special about the rest of it...crowded rooms, resort town...nuff said. It's no Hilton so if you expect that, don't be so cheap. More

This place is in an awesome location, right in the centre of things, close to the bus stop and accross the road from the beach, It also had a car park for me to park - fantastic, The staff were great and friendly too. It has the worst beds in the world though. I don't know how they could be... More

I had booked into the Airlie Beack Backpackers for the 17th July. I arrived at the hosel from the overnight bus, I got to the reception at 7:30 ish. (Must mention that most other hostels in the town had reps at the bus stop but nobody from this hostel) The receptionist didnt even lift her head to acknowlegde my arrival.... More
