    Not completely tidy and very loud bed, but everything you need to spend a night near to the airport.

    Quite calm, very friendly staff, just 15mins from the airport with taxis around every time. Lot of travellers around to chat. Easy access to the beach (unfortunately not for swimming), great bar just across the road, near shop to buy some groceries.

    The wifi signal is not stable, but not really an issue for me as I'm taking the day away from the social media, etc. This is not a place if you intend to work or have to attend to regular calls through the net.

    The hotel team is very nice and accommodating. Always ready to help. Tour packages are available at the reception which is nice if you haven't decided to go anywhere yet. I also like their hammocks and picnic tables.

    Nosie during the day from local construction. They have done some work to keep the beach clean, but the water is not spectacular for swimming in this particular spot.

    Great location for airport transfer with no frills but comfortable and safe. Close to the beach and eatery across the street. Good food but not cheap. Noisy during the day from local construction, but the evenings and nights were quiet. No kitchen access and not close to a market or store. Staff were helpful and kind.

    Not a lot of space for bag storage in the capsules room (17B), however the property have made the most of the space in the room by making the capsules themselves spacious and private. Can just be a bit squishy moving around others if all in the room at once, however not impossible.

    Great location, friendly and helpful staff, clean facilities, easy stay. Great value for money.

    The dorms are single beds in a large room with little privacy.

    The staff were very friendly and the property is in a good location. There are not many things to do around in wailola beach but it is a perfect place if you like going on a walk along the beach and chill at a cafe.

    Location next to a beach bar means there's noise until late hours, every day. No kitchen or lounge. Dorms definitely could use some rubbish bins! Only one shower per floor, but surprisingly I didn't queue much. There's no public transport to the area so taxi is the only option, and it's quite far to both airport and city centre. It is basically a secluded resort with only hotels and hostels and a few touristy restaurants, too.

    Each dorm bed has 2 sockets and a light. Small lockers for valuables (bring your own padlock). Dorms actually don't have 24 beds, just about 16, and all travellers seemed quiet and respectful. Bathrooms get cleaned around 6am before you get up, which is nice. Beach is nearby. Reception can arrange tours.
