Great location can easy walk to beach. Hostel has lots of space for everyone. If you wanted to read or have some quiet time, you can find a quiet spot in a hammok under a tree. Hammoks everywhere was really nice and added to the relaxed feel to the place (hard to describe). Really friendly staff too and cleaning was very good. I would definately come back or recommend you stay there.

Entspannte Zeit am cable beach

Sehr schönes gemütliches Hostel , ich war Anfang März da und wir waren nur wenige Gäste , daher war es sehr entspannend und jeder kannte jeden. Ich kann nur empfehlen, am cable beach zu übernachten, da das Center nicht so schön ist..Der Strand hingegen ist der Wahnsinn! Die Mitarbeiter sind super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Kann es nur empfehlen.

Ok if you need a cheap bed for the night.

I opted for a room, but it was really just a dorm with four beds. No chair or table in the room. Free Wi-Fi was very intermittent, did not work from the room. That said, staff were great, and their friendliness permeated throughout the facility. Other guests were friendly as well. I doubt I would stay at another backpackers again, because there was nothing inviting about the room. Great atmosphere though, with a bar on premises.

Plaża jak w bajce

W Broome wszystko jest drogie, ale najładniejsza jest plaza, do której z hostelu jest bardzo blisko. Hostel jest ładnie położony, ale jego mankamentem są mieszkańcy. Trafiłam na grupę brudasów.

We enjoyed staying at Cable Beach Backpackers. The room was ok, but not the most comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly.
