쿨랑가타 YHA - COOLANGATTA - KIRRA BEACH, GOLD COAST

It’s great but I upset about no WiFi

the mattress smells lik body odours

I stayed in a lovely private room which was great. Most people staying seem to be working for the Hostel in some capacity and my own issue was that there was constantly people milling around in the in the kitchens and bathrooms cleaning/wiping down/sorting which made the rooms a little awkward to use a key times. Also, be aware it is a long walk from the greyhound bus station to the hostel (3.5km) better off getting the number 700 bus from the beach. The hostel does however run a free shuttle to the stop on departure which is handy. Burleigh Heads and Point Danger all well worth a day trip!

I was exhausted when I arrived. I had 2 urgent travel documents online I needed to activate, one of the reasons I chose the single private was it said premium wifi! It took 2 hours of trying to get the wifi and still no luck. The person working as really nice, however it was clear he had no idea what was going on with it either or an solutions. I ended up with 3 hours after wifi issue, then having to leave extra early to get to airport to use theirs instead. Not at all yha standard at all!

More expensive than Brisbane hostels, but hard to fault on stay. Location next to airport and perfect beach. Kitchen very good. Pool, table tennis. Pleasant staff. Resort feel. Had a great stopover before easy flight. Might stay longer next time.

Was by myself. Near to JF Hospital for my wife.

Great vibe, awesome staff. One of the best Yha’s in Australia!!

The hostel is overall very clean and easy to access. The pool is a nice touch and the rooms were cool. We had food stolen from the fridge (pizza) The staff were very good, however our mattresses were uncomfortable and could feel the springs in the double bed. As a whole staying overnight with 2 teenagers was convenient.

Great for if you need something close to the airport! Quite dated and not at all close to anything else, bed was pretty uncomfortable and the decor was certainly not recent, but a good hostel all the same. Be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes to check in, as the courtesy bus into town is driven by the person at reception. Not close to anything except the airport, which was what I needed.

Great value for money, stayed at this YHA for 6 nights and was a great experience:)
