The private double room at Boardrider Backpackers And Budget Motel was just what I needed after a long day. The bed was super comfy, and the en suite bathroom was clean and convenient. Plus, the free continental breakfast and unlimited wifi were a major bonus.

Personally, I didn't love the TV in the room. But hey, that's just me.

We booked a double bed Motel Room. On arrival we were put in a "family room" with 2 bunk beds, and told the price would be straightened out in the morning. Upon further discussion we were given no discount or concession and spent the remainder of our nights in the "family room". Staff said it happens all the time and tried to make excuses regarding online booking.

Great room rate and fantastic location, a block to the beach and a few minutes to the Sydney ferry.

Keep in mind that this is a youth backpacker accommodation and you should expect noise.

our romantic weekend at this cozy backpacker's was a perfect escape. the friendly staff, breathtaking view from our balcony, and nearby village markets made our stay unforgettable. boardrider backpackers exceeded our expectations.

Balcony doors didn't lock.

Location

Smell, un mean communal facilities

Location was good but thats about it.

Well its not really budget because it was $100 dollars for the night. Had no parking so had to parked about 2km away. Feared for the worst when we seen the earplugs on the bed, also our room was beside a smoking area, groups of people standing shouting outside our window. Bathrooms were dirty also.

Conveniently located near the beach and ferry terminal. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Great common room for socializing. Close proximity to pubs and nightlife. Perfect for meeting new people and exploring the area.

It is very close to the beach and Board rentals are cheap for guests.

Not very clean, showers never stayed at the same temperature, noisy (Buy some ear plugs), Cramped kitchen and fridge, not much room for anything (While i was there.)

Place was dirty. Not staff fault but residents. Each morning the corridor was covered with litter. Cockroaches were prevelant. Have stayed many times before because it was a clean budget well located place but not anymore.

This place is at an amazing location, right in the centre of a vibrant town with 3 pubs with delicious food at the doorstep. it is conveniently located extremely close to the beach, providing easy access to all sea activities. the common area is quite welcoming with friendly staff always available for help.

If you want to sleep peacefully in your room, look elsewhere. Some reviews have reported communal bathrooms with unacceptable levels of hygiene, beds infested with bedbugs, and dead cockroaches on arrival.

The location was good, the room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

The beds were the most uncomfortable I've ever attempted to sleep on. Also I wasn't a fan of the plastic sheets or pillows.

This hotel's location is perfect for beach-goers as it is very close to the beach. In addition, it is within walking distance of many amenities, and I was able to park my car with ease. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming as well. Finally, this hotel's cleanliness standards exceeded my expectations.

Hard to think of anything bad about this hotel.

The location is great, close to the beach and markets. Comfortable common area. Friendly people. Manager accommodated late arrival. Private toilet and shower.

Nothing not to love.

We absolutely loved our stay at this place! The location is perfect, situated right in the heart of a charming pedestrian area in Manly. Being right in the main street, we had easy access to all the shops, restaurants, and attractions that the area has to offer. The beach is also just a short walk away, making it incredibly convenient for us to enjoy some fun in the sun. We were pleasantly surprised by the range of amenities provided in our room, including an ironing facility and a flat-screen TV, ensuring all our needs were met during our stay. The terrace was a wonderful bonus, giving us a lovely space to unwind and enjoy the view above the bustling main square. Additionally, the free Wi-Fi in our room allowed us to stay connected throughout our stay. The friendly and helpful staff made our experience even more enjoyable, always going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

We would definitely recommend this place to our friends.

A Hidden Gem in Manly!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a budget-friendly hotel in the heart of Manly. The location couldn't have been better, just a 5-minute walk to the ferry port and with stunning views of Manly beach from the balcony rooms. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep after a long day of exploring.
