YHA Noosa Heads

Super close to the beach (a minutes walk away), has sufficient parking provided you arrive early, we didn't have trouble finding parking. Rooms (4 person dorm) were a bit humid, we had to leave the back door open for a bit of air. The beds were comfy and the room was clean as well. The staff were super friendly and gave us a good heads up before the stay. It has a bunch of restaurants and bars nearby and also a supermarket. If you're a bag packer this is a good option. Also the building is a heritage building and overall it was a good stay 👍.

I stayed at the hostel about 2 weeks ago and found it very homely. I was lucky to have a 4-bed dorm with great roommates. Overall, I had a lovely time there. The only downside was that it's on a hill. But my biggest issue was when I washed my clothes. I put them in the dryer and ended up with bleach stains. I know I didn't use bleach, so someone must have put it in there. I talked to the reception about it, but they didn't do anything. The washroom facilities were outdated, and half of the machines didn't work. It's a decent hostel, but my advice is to avoid washing your clothes there. It's better to find another place to do laundry. Even though it's not something you'd expect to need to do as a backpacker, hostels should provide better laundry facilities. I won't be returning to this hostel since I have to replace my clothes, and I can't afford to do that without an income. I've seen others receive compensation for less, so I'm disappointed. I wouldn't want this to happen to someone else either.

We loved this hostel another great YHA. The location is excellent and just 2 mins from the main street of Noosa. Has a very lodge like feel but thought it was cute. Lots of places to chill out in and eat food. We had a private room in the main building. The room was basic but clean and had a useful stand to put all of your stuff. We were a bit concerned about no air con but the fan worked fine. Nice staff. We wished we’d stayed longer!

This hostel is next to a bus station and a 5 min walk to the main beach Noosa Head/ the national park. Rooms are basic, kitchen and common area are alright. 4 bed dorm had 3 lockers? Wifi was okay. Staff was nice. They offer free activities everyday.

I have stayed here twice now. The first time was 8 years ago and the second time is now. Unfortunately not a lot has changed. It is a beautiful hostel with great (though dated) common rooms and nice places to sit outside. also very close to the beach! BUT The rooms (4 share) are absolutely tiny and do not have air-conditioning. The combination of 4 people sweating and heating up the little air that's in the rooms makes for very uncomfortable, warm and humid nights. Toilets are fine and clean, showers are also tiny and just ver very old... The kitchen has everything you need. It's just a little small for all guests. But that's very manageable by not cooking when everyone else is. Overall: This place needs a makeover. Aircon or at leat some proper ventilation and a renovation of the showers. Wouldn't stay here for too long as it's hard to get a good night's sleep.

The rooms only have fans but are clean and spacious enough. There is no atmosphere in the hostel. It's all very quiet and not really targeted towards young people. It's quite a bit more expensive than other hostels. Supermarket is on the otherside of town but is very close to the beach. Nobody works reception apart from at check in time (2pm). Staff very friendly though

We loved this hostel. Great location, lovely building and helpful staff. Nice small dorms with high ceiling and plenty of room for luggage. Good facilities including large kitchen with all the utensils you need. Close to the beach and national Park, very relaxing time and felt at home! Great beer selection too.

Absolutely horrid experience here. The rainforest room has no aircon which in the heat of summer just makes it turn into a sauna. The lack of plug sockets was an issue and if you’re stuck on the top bunk the small little fans make absolutely no difference. The non smoking part of the room had people smoking, and the doors were both constantly left open which felt like a real worry as there was no lockers in the room for our stuff. Do not stay here, it is insanely overpriced!
