Friendly atmosphere. Locals visiting the bar are lovely. They had pizza night and live music the night I stayed which was fabulous. Had a really nice time there. Would stay again.

Mattresses are old and squeaky. Quiet time at night would be a good idea. Was a bit noisy at night. People talking loudly etc.

For a small hostel this place has everything! A pool, hammock, outside and inside kitchen facilities, bbq, big tv with loads of couches and a bar. Came as a solo female traveller for the night and ended up staying for the weekend, staff were incredible and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and included. Lots of activities on offer and an overall perfect vibe! Will be coming back when I go back up the coast. Thanks for the amazing weekend!

Handy to have a car however the shops are only a 10 minute walk

First of all I would like to thank Fran for being a great host as she was so efficient & friendly. I cannot imagine the place without her. The facilities were good enough, near & clean, beds were comfy, the balcony on the top, I fell in love with the mini kitchen, ping pong table and the billiards table.

It is hard to tell, but I felt like maybe there could have been more toilets and showers. As the ratio of the toilets & showers compared to the people were not enough.

Super Friendly staff & very accommodating, cute dog/turtle/bearded dragon, perfect pool. Dinner was provided at a cost, which was very convenient after a long drive. They also have their own bar. Loved all the artwork around. Especially the toilet doors!

The veranda stairs were very very slippery and I wasnt aware of it and slipped down them and badly hurt my knee. In saying this, I am ok a few days later and Gladstone backpackers was the best place we stayed on our 4 day roadtrip!

Soo good owner luke has amazing staff at hand n interaction with ppl stayin at hostel taking them out on adventures 4x4 drive wake boarding. The food is to die for thank u penny tues taco wed chicken wings fri wood fire pizzas wit so many dif flavours sunday brisket wit live band def best hostel ive stayed at...

Onion on pizza.lol nothing i can think of.

The property is located in a quiet street but close to Goondoon St and the Marina. It is a great set up with good access, multiple communal areas and nice sized rooms that are not overcrowded.

The only improvements I could suggest are having somewhere to hang or place belongings in the shower cubicles. Also, having towel rails in the rooms would be handy too. The beds are comfy but a little noisy when you roll over.

Great hostel, the british lady who checked me in was lovely. The hostel is great with a pool and complimentary breakfast! Stayed in a 4 bed room & it was more than fine, you get your own fan on the bed too. Great value for money!

The turtles in the enclosures looked very sad, I think they need to be rehoused :/

Penny was an absolutely fantastic host. She went above and beyond to make us comfortable, the shower and toilets were fab and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Great additions such as outdoor games.

The communal kitchen was quite unclean and some of the facilities are worn or under repair.

Centrally located to the Marina and pretty parkland areas nearby. Accom here is at a reasonable price so you can spend more cash on adventures 🎣✈️🏝️

Was all sweet to stay, fun happy backpackers that respected the space

Conveniently located. The provision of a cheaper, quality evening meal plus a happy hour to keep travellers together. Also breakfast provided

Overall there was no noticeable dislikes
