Boardrider Backpackers and Budget Motel

I had a private room with shared facilities and the room was nice. It was clean and spacious (no storage but enough room for my bags). I had a tv and tea/coffee stuff. My room shared the bathroom with just one other room and I didn't see anyone else use it while I was there. It was quiet and private. I did use the kitchen and the breakfast a couple of times. They tried hard to keep the place clean but the kitchen had food on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink - not their fault but other guests I think. There was a nice roof top space and it's right in the middle of Manly, minutes walk from the beach and ferry landing. Great location.

Friendly polite staff. Cleaning on everyday basis. Multicultural environment. Books, Art , Free Breakfast and other resources available.

The hostel is centrally located between the Ferries and beach. We had a double room with ensuite which was a decent size and very comfortable. We were surprised to discover the wonderful roof top terrace, and found that the shared kitchen and common room made for a warm friendly atmosphere.

I’m hesitant to give this property a great review- as it is the BEST well kept secret! Clean, spacious, best locations, lovely staff, comfy bed, quiet- and a free brekkie!

I stayed here for a mate's birthday. I needed somewhere clean, near the function, & secure. My room was spotless, the girl at the front desk was very friendly, & I met Arya the cat, which other reviewers have mentioned. The hotel was literally next door to the birthday I was attending. If you want somewhere in Manly that's handy to everything, then this is the place Other guests were quiet, but the patrons leaving nearby pubs were a bit noisy. This is out of the hotel's control, but the hotel supplies ear plugs, however I didn't need them. I visit Manly throughout the year, & will stay at this hotel again.
