My Place – Adelaide Backpackers Review
A small and friendly place situated on Waymouth St towards the West of the CBD. It is within walking distance of most things and for Glenelg there is a tram. The atmosphere in the hostel is one of the most friendly I have ever come across. With many long termers there I expected to feel […]
MIB Review
‘Melbourne International Backpackers’ For two and a half weeks we stayed at MIB before finding our apartment. After the disaster at Coffee Palace back in November (however speaking to others we are not alone there) we spent a bit of time researching hostels for our return to Melbourne. Thankfully our research paid off – well […]
Somewhere To Stay Hostel Review Brisbane
We literally used this hostel to sleep in and nothing else as we arrived early afternoon and spent the rest of that day in the city and then the following day left at 9am. But I still wanted to review the place as we did spend a night here and it is a place I […]
Magnum Backpackers Review, Airlie Beach
On recommendation of other backpackers we booked our two nights each side of sailing the Whitsunday islands here. And I am so glad we listened to those recommendations! This hostel was set behind the bar and in the middle of lots of trees which made you feel like you were somewhere exotic. We stayed in […]
Cool Banana’s Hostel Review Agnes Water
Agnes Water has a choice of three hostels, one which was located out of the town centre and one which was labelled with the wrong phone number in my Lonely Planet book so this was our only choice. But what a great choice – it had a very relaxed vibe and felt like a tropical […]
Noosa Backpackers Resort Review
I found this hostel a little strange overall despite how perfect and lovely the location was. Situated in Noosaville I was concerned it was too far away from the main part of Noosa but the Noosaville area is beautiful. A two minute walk from the river with several docks to sit on and even a […]
Adventurers Resort, Townsville Hostel Review
I booked this hostel purely from the review in the Lonely Planet guidebook; I have booked several other hostels this way and never had a problem. However this hostel really didn’t live up to the review. As described it was an ex motel complex but I never imagined it to feel so prison like with […]
Aquarius Byron Bay Hostel Review
Upon a recommendation of others we had met, we booked 3 nights over the weekend here, and oh what a blast we had. At $25 a night for an 8 bed dorm room this was the cheapest hostel we stayed in but it was also the best value for money – especially as each room […]
A Nightmare At Coffee Palace, St Kilda
After leaving booking a hostel in Melbourne a bit late we were a little short of choices, however from my Lonely Planet guide this hostel sounded good and we were pretty keen to be in St Kilda. We were coming to Melbourne to look for jobs and settle in to a new life but we […]
Surfers Paradise Backpackers Resort Review
We took a lucky guess booking a hostel in Surfers Paradise, but our lucky guess paid off for what we wanted out of a hostel here. After the madness of Byron Bay we were after a chill out and relax and that is exactly what we got. With the luck of our room and the […]
