BUG Review
This hostel has three to four-bed dormitories and a nice swimming pool, but the dorms are very basic and some are quite stuffy. The bathrooms need a renovation and the kitchen is a mess - the whole place just seems a bit tired. Other facilities include internet access, a barbecue, hammocks, a TV lounge and a laundry with old washing machines. It is in Picnic Bay, which is an inconvenient location, now that the ferry arrives at Nelly Bay.
Price Dorm bed $18-20 Double/twin room $50 Prices are in Australian dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.

Not a great hostel, really needs updating so pretty basic, and not particularly clean. However seemed to attract nice guests so has a friendly atmosphere.

This hostel was the worst place we've stayed, it was grubby and horrible, made me feel dirty. The bathrooms had cockroaches and other bugs, out of 3 showers, only one had a lock. The kitchen was disgusting, the tv room was worn out and nothing was like the website advertised. It says it is near shops, bars, cafes etc but it isnt, there is one or two things on the beach but i wouldn't bother staying here if i was you. go to BASE or magnums, you'll have a much better time
