Stay was good considering it was a backpackers. Air con worked but only just so nights were hot. Cleaners came in every day and did a good job. Bar had a really good atmosphere.

Very good value for price
Beaches is, as far as I can judge the best option of all backpacker hostels in Airlie Beach as it is super centric (right next to the lagoon and all major shopping and going out facilities) and possesses of a chilled out hammock area as well as its own bar/restaurant with different activities, live music and party every night.
Staff is super nice and comforting, our room was huge and clean (but not very cozy though) and you even get 50% on the meal deal every night (which means a meal + a drink for only $7.50!).
The kitchen can be a little crowded when it's busy and at night it can get a little loud if youre staying in one of the rooms next to the bar.
Would definitely come here again :)

Central and noisy
This hostel is located central. That's why it's easy to walk somewhere. They hold own bar, so it is noisy over midnight.

Great location, ridy room, nice staff!
The location was perfect, really close to everything. The room itself was much better than I expected, very clean. The bathroom was a bit dirty, but bearable if you wear thongs while in there. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!

Good Location but only there to sleep
Does the job but would not spend more than the time you sleep there. They have a good deal for dinner with the restaurant next door so thats good.

Gross.
Might be the dirtiest place I've ever slept. I don't think it has ever been cleaned.
Don't expect to sleep either, as this is a major party place.

Nice hostel in the thick of things
Beds were pretty comfortable for a hostel, the kitchen came in handy as did the great pub meals which are heavily discounted for tenants. Staff were helpful and any pub concert noise was gone by 11 or 12am.
