    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff are super friendly. The room was clean and comfortable, though the noise from the pub downstairs can get a bit loud at night. A decent stay with great amenities for the price!

    The location was convenient, just a stone's throw from the heart of town, making it easy to grab meals and shop. I particularly enjoyed the lovely new bathrooms which were clean and modern. The kitchen facilities were a great bonus, allowing me to prepare light meals during my stay. The air conditioning really helped combat the warm weather, and I loved relaxing on the spacious balcony after a long day of meetings. The staff were also helpful and accommodating, making my experience all the more pleasant.

    This hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short stroll to the beach and close to shops and cafes, which makes exploring super easy! I loved the clean and tidy rooms, and the showers were really nice, too. A pleasant surprise was the shared kitchen feature; it was great to have that option for snacks or meals. Plus, the staff were friendly and ready to help if I needed anything.

    I did have some trouble with noise at night. The doors slamming and sounds from downstairs made it hard to get a good night's sleep. the traffic outside in the morning was pretty loud, which didn’t help either. It’s just something to keep in mind if you're a light sleeper!

    To my delight, the hotel featured a versatile Lounge Bar space, perfect for soaking up Coolangatta's relaxed coastal atmosphere. I also enjoyed the Kirrabelle Kitchen, which offered delicious, well-priced meals. The friendly staff were more than willing to serve complimentary barista-made coffees, adding a lovely touch to my mornings.

    I couldn't catch a wink of sleep the entire night because of the loud music blasting from downstairs and drunk guests yelling outside my door. It felt like I was stuck in a nightclub instead of a hotel. Definitely not going back!

    coolangatta sands did not disappoint! after my previous stay in gold coast, i had high expectations for this romantic weekend getaway. the staff were friendly, the location was convenient, and the clean and comfortable room was a perfect retreat. i loved the extra touches like the fresh fruit and the verandah with ample seating space.

    Wifi was unreliable.

    the verandah was absolutely beautiful, with its traditional design and the lovely breeze that flowed through it. It was a joy to have my room open onto the verandah, allowing me to enjoy the sounds of the street all night long. the staff, especially the receptionists in the bar/restaurant downstairs, were amazing people. They were friendly and accommodating, and the food deals at the restaurant were really good. the location of the hotel, close to the beach, was perfect. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the main lady at reception, who went above and beyond to assist me with maps and bus schedules. She was always friendly and had a smile on her face. Cons: Absolutely nothing! 🙌.

    It was great to have a place where I could prepare my meals and enjoy them while watching the patrons of the nearby pub. The security was also impressive, making me feel safe and secure throughout my stay. The location was convenient, with the town being easily accessible. The brand new bathrooms were a highlight, and having air conditioning in the room was a huge plus. I also enjoyed the big balcony overlooking the street.

    The hotel is located in a convenient area, close to the beach and a shopping centre.

    I loved the laid-back atmosphere at Coolangatta Sands. The upstairs verandah was my favorite spot to relax and soak up the sun. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist. My room was basic but perfect for my needs, and I had a great night's sleep. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the beach. I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

    For the price I paid, I got great value and a comfy, clean room. The location of Coolangatta Sands was perfect, right in the center of town, close to the airport, and just steps away from the sea. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

    The breakfast experience could have been better with a wider variety of options.

    I recently stayed at Coolangatta Sands for a few nights while exploring the area. The hostel had a great mattress that provided excellent comfort and support. The ground floor bar and sports lounge, along with the restaurant, made it feel more like a hostel than a hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the shared showers and toilets were clean and modern. The shared kitchen and veranda were perfect for enjoying meals outside. The location was convenient, with easy access to the beach, shops, cafes. The main lady at reception was especially kind, going above and beyond to help with directions and printing maps.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    I quite enjoyed my stay at Coolangatta Sands. It was a new experience for me, as I haven't stayed in many pubs before. The veranda outside the room was beautiful and comfortable, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The room itself was spacious and had ample seating and storage options. The noise from the pub downstairs was minimal, and the staff provided earplugs just in case. The reception staff were friendly and the keycard access made coming and going easy. The comfortable bed and thin bedding were perfect for the hot summer weather. The beach was a short walk away, and there were plenty of nearby bus stops connecting to the airport and the rest of the coast. There were also cafes, restaurants, and a bottle shop conveniently located nearby. The friendly crowd staying in the hostel added to the welcoming atmosphere. I had a great stay!

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.
