Great hostel!
Great hostel in a perfect location. Staff are friendly and helpful. I stayed in the 6-bed female dorm (room 211). Bed was comfortable, the room was big and there was plenty of space to store all of my belongings. The only downside that I could find was that there wasn't powerpoints beside each of the beds so made it difficult to charge my electronics. There's also plenty of free street parking in front of the hostel.

Great value hostel
It was good stay and our double room was better than expected with fridge, coffee, milk, tea and big size room. The downside of the property are the paper wall it has where you can hear everything. Very close to restaurants, marina etc

Good value for money (considering its Port Douglas!). Basic but good. Large room and bed. Great aircon. Good location. Friendly staff. Ensuite cleaning was average/OK.

6/10 Good

It was my first stay in a hostel ever. I booked myself into Double Ensuite room. Room wasn’t as nice as I have expected. It looked a bit like a room in a prison to be fair. Bedding was old and dirty, especially white cushion. Extremely stained. Dust and dirt everywhere on the floor. I know it’s a hostel so I have expected it to be a bit louder but my first night (Monday) people partied until 3am which was a sucker for me as I had to be up before 7am. Personally, felt slightly unsafe on my first night then I got over it. There was TV, kettle and a fridge so that was handy but I probably expected it to be more ‘hotel’ like service. You live, you learn. If you are young and on a budget then sure, go for it. I booked it as it was the only option available for the dates that I was coming and under $150 a night. Chick on the reception was lovely and tried to be helpful. Made me feel a bit more comfortable. Personally, I wouldnt stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely open layout with plenty of courtyard permitted sun to flood the big fresh space. Stayed in a Queen Ensuite with my partner and everything was clean, functioning, efficent, and exceeded expectation. Such a nominal walk to the hot strip of P. Dougie its beyond convenient for gettin out and about, not to mention the provided ease of parking right in fornt of the hostel, shaded by some beautiful ol FNQ-style trees. Healthy vibrant public spaces too

L'auberge est très agréable et bien équipée notamment avec une piscine. Elle est au calme juste une rue derrière l'axe principal commercial de la ville.

Could be cleaner but great value for money
Helpful, friendly staff and the bar had cheap drinks. However the condition of the kitchen wasn't being maintained very well, people needed to be told to clean up their stuff and it wasn't happening, plus I couldn't see a clean tea towel. The double room was very spacious and the location was great for the beach and the local restaurants. We hired a car and could park for free off street, and had a great time exploring the Daintree Rainforest. We got a couple of good food and drink deals with the hotel's sister companies which was great!

寝るだけには最高！
Cityにあるのでとても快適！wedding party後の寝るだけのstayだったのでこちらを選択。23時にreceptionが終わるので、規約の0時までのcheck inには間に合うが遅くなる旨を前もって伝えていたが、フロントではとてもぶっきらぼうな対応をされ少し不快に。 チェックアウト時に同じスタッフだったが今度はかなり良い対応、、疲れていたのか？ 宿は"The BP"な感じだけども、プールサイドなどはリラックス出来る様にチェアやベットがありとてもイイ雰囲気！ 格安なのでトータルでは満足です！

Great location, lovely staff, great rooms
Private room had everything and more to make my stay comfortable. Only regret I had was not booking more nights. For a backpackers, this place was better than most the hotels I had stayed at on my trip.

Great backpackers!
Travelling as a couple we opted for a Queen/Double Room with our own ensuite. The bed was really comfortable, the room was clean and we even had Foxtel! I was surprised it wasn't too noisy considering we were right above the bar/common room that's on the bottom floor. The only noise we heard in the night was other patrons talking in the hallways and slamming doors. Shower was hot with good pressure. We had a small fridge, kettle and some tea/coffee supplies. Ceiling fan did the job as it was winter, but there was a working AC unit as well. Nice leafy outlook from the first floor, with a roller blind for night. All the basics completely covered! The only issue we encountered was not having anywhere to hang things up. No towel rack in the bathroom and no hooks anywhere.I did see railings and washing lines in the common areas, but as we had our own very spacious room we would have liked to have been able hang our shower towels, beach towels, wet swimmers, clothes etc up in the room itself. Great location, great amenities. Overall would recommend this place to all travellers on a budget, not just backpackers :)

disappointing
Paid for a six-bed dorm, only got an eight-bed dorm. no apology, no refund of the difference. Aside from that: close to the center, albeit on an unlit street. Kitchen and bathrooms are a mess.

The only bad thing is the hardness of the bed, woke up everyday in agony. But everything else was great. Awesome location, clean, convenient parking, close to the beach.

Muffe grote kamer
Het personeel was heel vriendelijk. Er is gratis parking naast het etablissement of op straat. De WiFi werkt goed. Er is geen lift. De kamer is groot, maar ruikt muf. Verouderde airco. In de badkamer kruipen kleine miertjes. Het bed staat op wieltjes; wat raar en ongemakkelijk is: het bed rolt weg als je te hard tegen de muur leunt. Het hostel is in de straat parallel gelegen met de hoofdwinkelstraat.

Great value and right near the Main Street!
We loved this hostel! We had a double room which was very tidy. It was right near town too! We loved the $10 meal deals the hostel offered around Port Douglas. The only thing I may suggest is that the showers need a good scrub and that the aircon is due for an upgrade. Otherwise loved it, would go back for sure!
