Stayed here for 2 nights in Jan/2013 First night was in double room with A/C which is $60/night. Room is small, A/C had a mind of its own but once got it going was no problem.. Few cobwebs could be cleaned out of the ceiling corners. Decent value for your $ considering Broome is not the cheapest place in Australia.... More

If your looking to stay in Broome, stay Cable Beach. This is the best budget accom and its okay. The rooms were minimal and sometimes not that clean, as well as the bathrooms but I found the staff very keen to make sure it was up to guest standards. Broome is very remote and therefore expensive so its not a... More

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

Kitchen was being cleaned when I arrived and was cleaned every morning of my stay and they had just installed new equipment and fridge. The... 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
