Budds In Surfers Backpackers, Gold Coast

This hotel offers great value for budget-conscious travelers, with clean rooms and a lovely pool area. The atmosphere was vibrant, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the kitchen facilities left a lot to be desired, and the lack of proper Wi-Fi was a downside. Overall, it’s a decent option for those looking for affordable accommodation but might not suit everyone’s needs.

My stay at Budds in Surfers was a bit of a letdown. While the location is fantastic, just a short walk from the main center, the facilities and overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The lack of air conditioning made the room quite uncomfortable, and the shared kitchen was not in great shape. I wouldn't choose to stay here again, as there are definitely better options nearby.

I had a really disappointing experience at this hotel, despite its great location. The amenities seemed neglected, with dirty showers and an uncomfortable atmosphere. Although the reception staff were nice, it felt like the rest of the team was uninterested. The lack of cleanliness and comfort left me dissatisfied overall.

The hostel has a great location, just a short walk to the beach, which is a big plus. However, the rooms felt quite cramped and prison-like, lacking proper windows and ventilation. The staff had moments where they were quite loud at night, disrupting the peace. While there are plans for renovations, the current state is far from ideal, particularly with the cleanliness issues in communal areas.

I had a great experience at this hostel! It's got a chill vibe and lovely staff that make you feel at home. The rooms are basic but clean; however, the location is a bit far from the center of town. While the social areas were welcoming, it was a little odd that we couldn't sit inside at night. Overall, it's a solid choice if you don’t mind being a little away from the hustle and bustle.
