I arrived at this hostel having had my luggage put on the wrong flight, so I was quite upset as everything that I was travelling with could be lost. However the reception staff were very comforting and friendly, taking me to my room and telling me that everything would be alright and that it would get sorted. The room was... More

We stayed a few nights last March in a 4-bed dormitory. Great location (only 5 min to Surfers Paradise centre). Backpacker located in a quiet area with 3-4 car park spaces. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help. They also have a travel desk so you can book cheaper park tickets or other activities. Dorms are organized in... More

Brilliant hostel, rooms are great. Its like you have your own apartment with kitchen and bathroom in the room, and the place is spotless. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hostel, it is by far the best we have stayed in and we have been travelling now throughout Australia the last 5 months, we are... More

Found this place on recommendation from a friend and he wasn't wrong. Staff went out of there way to be helpful, from advising on tours and activities, to arranging party nights.....and they really were party nights! Do us travellers really rate hostels on the amount and quality of sleep? Will def go back there after our trip up north.

Ok so in terms of layout, this hostel ranks pretty high compared to all the others I have stayed at. It says you share an 8 bed dorm but it doesn't really give it justice because you actually have a kinda apartment area with your own kitchen and bathroom shared with only 8 people and then two bedrooms, so you...

Before anyone thinks this review is unfair, let me start by saying that the hostel's facilities were actually pretty nice, and that the rooms were perfectly clean. That's not the problem with this place. The problem with Sleeping Inn is that it is absolutely NOT safe!!! Please don't stay here, and if you do, do not leave your valuables unatended.... More

One of the most important factors in staying at a hostel is the level of service provided. Sleeping Inn excelled and and I really salute the backpackers working there for accommodation as they definitely went above and beyond.

Nice hostel. Clean and tidy. Room area little warm though with out any air con, only a standing fan. But shower etc is clean and you get like a small apartment to share. They do good food deals. Location is t right in town but it's about a 5-10 min walk which i liked.
