Its the hostel with cleanest kitchen facilities I ve seen so far. Amazing location very close to live streets of Gold coast. Plenty of space to put your stuff in rooms. Parking was not problem too.

This was my second time staying at Backpackers in Paradise, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone after a budget friendly stay that doesn't sacrifice on amenities or vibes. Loved the pool here, as well as the large communal areas - there are lots of different spots inside and outside to hang out in. It's a nice social hostel with activities throughout the week/especially weekend, Chloe the party rep is great at organizing it all and is so lovely and easy to get on with!

I stayed at Backpackers in Paradise in Surfers Paradise for a month and absolutely loved it. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, always making sure we were comfortable. The people here are fun and welcoming, and the vibe is unmatched — better than most hostels and even many hotels on the Gold Coast. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Located at a great spot and so close to the main street. Hostel has great facilities such as cheap laundry machines, cold water dispensers and free towels. Stayed in 20 mixed dorm but had two showers as well as two toilets. Nice atmosphere.

Best place on the planet! - Is the old boy who owned this place a decade ago still kicking around? I can't remember his name. Can you inform me please.
