I really enjoyed my stay at Noosa FlashPackers. The location is great, and the hostel has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The small pool is a lovely addition for relaxing after a long day. I stayed in a 4-bed dorm, and having the shower and toilet inside the room (en-suite) was a huge plus. They also offer a really handy shuttle service and organize different activities, which definitely added a lot of value to the stay.
On the downside, the breakfast provided is very basic and feels quite incomplete. Also, if you need to get things done online, keep in mind that the Wi-Fi is not the fastest. Overall, it's a fantastic spot to meet people and enjoy Noosa, despite a couple of minor flaws.
The resort is very centrally located, which has its good and bad points.
Good is that it’s very close to restaurants and the Magnetic Island ferry terminal.
Bad that the boy racers were out each night with their very noisy cars shooting past the front of the hotel- our room faced the harbour, which meant we had disturbed sleep.
First, our request for a high floor was kindly accommodated—we were given room 11825 on the 18th floor, which features panoramic ocean views and elegant interiors. Many thanks to your team for that. In fact, my wife has a special request: could we please have this same room every time we stay at Dorsett?
Second, the thoughtful gesture of a card, chocolate, and a bottle of wine for our special occasion truly showed how much effort your team puts into making guests feel valued.
Third, both my wife and our child absolutely loved the pool and jacuzzi at Star Grand. So overall, our stay was amazing, to say the least.
But none of this would be possible without first acknowledging your wonderful hotel staff. You probably see hundreds of guests each day, yet you still take a personalized approach—staying in touch with each guest and understanding their individual needs. Honestly, I hope other hotels will follow your example and make this the gold standard for excellence in customer service. Our last two hotel bookings through Trip.com were disappointing, but fortunately, your hotel never lets us down.
The gold-accented interiors are striking and have become a signature look of your hotel. We’ll remember them just as fondly as we remember landing at Singapore Changi Airport. We recently bought a new house and have been decorating with gold-colored furniture from Koala Living. After staying with you, we’ve realized that our inspiration was inadvertently drawn from your hotel rooms.
We come to Dorsett every year and have never been disappointed. We look forward to returning again soon.

We arrived after office hours and appreciated that the check-in process was straightforward and easy to follow. However, the park's location is a bit far from supermarkets and major attractions, which made getting around less convenient for us.
The facilities are mostly shared and not quite suitable for our needs. Unfortunately, all better-equipped units were fully booked, so we couldn't upgrade. We also found the Wi-Fi signal in the room to be quite weak. Due to these factors, we decided to cut our stay short and checked out after just one night.
The bunk beds are designed head-to-toe, so you don't disturb each other, and there are outlets and bedside lamps, which is really practical. The four-person female dorm has its own private bathroom, which is convenient, and everyone is considerate and keeps it pretty clean.
The kitchen hygiene is quite poor; the sink is often disgustingly clogged. There isn't a single good non-stick pan; everything sticks terribly, a far cry from industry standards.
The location is great, right near Surfers Paradise, with big and small supermarkets and plenty of restaurants nearby, making dining convenient.
It's very noisy at night facing the street, but I guess anyone staying in this area enjoys a lively atmosphere.
You can store your luggage after checkout, but there are no tags, you just go into the storage room yourself and pick it up. I personally think this is a security risk... I wonder if the business thinks having cameras is enough... but with the current security situation in Europe and America... 😒
It rained the whole two days I was in Gold Coast... what a shame.

I really didn't expect the room to be so huge and spacious. It felt more like an apartment than a hotel, so I had to ask the front desk about many things, like getting fresh towels. However, the hotel's location is extremely convenient, especially for getting to the Great Barrier Reef ferry terminal, which is only about a 10-minute walk away.

Nice resort, ideal for families or those who want a quieter spot away from the centre. Easy to get to centre by bus or uber. Lots of tour operators will pick up from resort for their activities.
Clean rooms with daily housekeeping. Fridge and kettle in room.
Bar and simple food available all week. Pizza restaurant Friday til Sunday.
3 nice pools. Very chilled out atmosphere.
Would recommend
Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided. No toothbrushes. As there's no daily housekeeping, you can request fresh towels and tissues from the front desk. They provided beach towels, bath towels, face towels, small towels, and a bath mat. The location is good; it's about a 5-minute drive or a 30-minute walk to the downtown area. The pool is open from 7 AM to 10 PM. There's a free water cooler. The front desk had a Japanese staff member who was very kind! A shuttle bus from the airport costs $25 one-way, while Uber is around $100, so I recommend booking the shuttle bus online in advance. Buying a round-trip ticket saves you about $5. The price was reasonable, it was clean, and the location was great, making it convenient in many ways. Overall, 100 points!
The location of the hostel was great, right in the centre of where you need to be. The staff were nice and helpful. However the hostel standard was not up to the same level as the location and staff. The rooms were moderately clean, we had a massive brown stain on our bedding when we arrived, the showers and toilets had mould and clumps of spiders and spiders webs everywhere. In the corners, on the ceilings, in the actual toilet and shower areas. That being said you get what you pay for, this is one of the cheapest hostels in airlie beach, so you sacrifice some cleanness due to how cheap it is.
Very Good

The Swiss-Belhotel is my go-to place to stay. The beds are incredibly comfortable and guarantee a great night’s sleep. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, often going above and beyond to assist.
The hotel is clean, well-priced, and conveniently located close to the CBD, public transport, pubs, and restaurants. Consistently great service and excellent value every time I stay
CCrouching Koala Hidden EmuStayed at the Wyndham in Surfers Paradise for a family weekend away and overall it was a solid choice. As Gold Coast locals we didn’t really need the constant upsell on tours and activities, but I can see how interstate or overseas visitors would find that useful.
The location is the real strength here — easy walking distance to Cavill Avenue, directly opposite Q1, and the observation deck nearby was great for the family. Very convenient without needing to constantly drive around Surfers.
Our king-sized room was spacious, comfortable and worked well travelling with a young family. The hotel itself felt clean and well maintained.
One thing worth noting for visitors is that the Hamilton Street beach entrance is still showing the effects of Cyclone Alfred from 2024, so beach access in that immediate area is not quite back to normal yet. That’s obviously outside the hotel’s control, but useful for travellers planning beach days.
Overall, a good stay if you want a central Surfers Paradise base with plenty within walking distance.
GGuest UserI was very satisfied. There is a shop near the hotel, which is very helpful. Due to its location, it is a place where you do not have to eat. The hotel employees are very nice.
GGuest UserI was pleasantly surprised to be able to check in directly at 9 AM, which was a great start to my stay. The staff even upgraded us to a sea-view room! So happy! The toiletries, like the body wash, were all from Origins and smelled lovely. The hotel is super modern, but the only downside is that the room lacked a main light and a desk. I wanted to get a little work done at night, but all I had was the faint glow from my screen.
GGuest UserI thought because of the price, it wouldnt be that great but we were so blown away. The view is gorgeous, the location is perfect and it’s so lovely while still cozy. Staff were great and the amenities were a great way to spend an evening, 10/10 recommend!!
GGuest UserPublic transportation isn't very convenient, especially at night when returning to the hotel. Buses often run late, requiring a long, hilly hike. Daytime buses are available, but they're not very frequent. It's quite a distance up a hill from the central area, and quite far. The shower in the bathroom makes a strange mechanical noise when you turn it on, but having two sinks is a plus. The bed in the room had some black spots, but it was quite large. It's just a low floor, with no view or privacy from the window. The second floor faces a busy garage. The next morning, my credit card was inexplicably charged over $270, in addition to the $100 deposit. I emailed the manager, but there was no explanation, just an apology and a refund. It was very confusing.

JJoannaYan****The location is fantastic, right at the end of the main shopping street. You can literally just walk downstairs and you're there. We were able to walk to several attractions from the hotel. The front desk for check-in is shared by two hotels, which wasn't very clearly indicated, and I was quite anxious while waiting in line. It's a pretty big hotel with lots of guests, and no matter which building you're in, there's always an elevator out of order. It seems like they always have to have one of the three elevators shut down for maintenance.

AAnonymous UserThis was my first solo trip to Cairns. It was also my first time staying in a hostel, and with my limited English, I arrived feeling quite anxious. However, everything from check-in to getting my room key could be done online, and since the online system supported Japanese, I had no issues at all. Any questions I had were quickly answered via chat, which was a huge relief.
Being a hostel, I didn't have high expectations for cleanliness, but I was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly clean and comfortable it was. Before check-in, I used a locker to store my luggage; it was past the front desk and cost around 800 yen. My room did have a locker, but it didn't have a lock, so remember to bring your own padlock. I was able to borrow a hairdryer from the front desk by leaving my passport as a deposit.
For my first solo trip, my first time abroad alone, I was extremely satisfied with my stay at this hostel!
