Good place to stay. Rooms are fine. Some are big (lots of beds....) Shared bathroom is not spectaculair, but medium. Not very clean. Good to have a beer. Lots of backpackers. Close to the beach. Great for running in the mornings. Free bus to the center. Good to meet people! I was there in August 2008 instead of 2011 (couldn't... More

Traveled to Broome W.A.from Sydney on a last minute decision to get away for a few days not knowing what to expect at all and whether I would even like the place. Sitting in the transit lounge at Perth I went online to check cheap accommodation. There were about 4 different backpackers located around Broome and based on their website... More

We arrived in Broome on the greyhound around 6am and even though reception didn't open until 7am they came and picked us up no problem. The staff were very friendly and helpful and made you feel like you were staying at a friends place. They even took us into town to buy food and do beer runs free of charge.... More

Okay not one of the finer hostels i have stayed in however, staff were really nice. Stayed with my boyf for over a week here and it was quiet so they happily put us in a four bed dorm to ourselves for the week which was good of them. I didn't think it was worth $30+ a night each though.... More

We stayed in a smalle double room, which was basically a closet with a bed. The bathrooms are dirty and there aren't enough. The kitchen is dirty, you have pay a deposit for your plates and cutlery and even then you don't get a complete set. The staff was very rude to us when we asked for a complete set.... More

Stayed here in February 2010 (does not give me the option to select this). On arrival was not given any sheets or pillow cases so luckily had a sleeping bag liner so used that. Toilets were very unclean and the kitchen was even worse, well out of date food in fridge! It's very near cable beach which is great but... More

By far the friendliest place i have ever stayed. The staff and the other backpackers i met there are all fantastic. This hostel turns into home and the longer you stay the more fun you have....from a few days to 6 months! Made fantastic friends at Cable beachbackers. The set up is good all centred round the bar area which... More
