9 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2026

If you're looking for great value in the heart of Manly then Boardriders is the place to choose. The staff are super helpful and very friendly and I'll definitely be staying there again. Recent renovations meant that the bed was brand new.

Recent renovations are still ongoing but other than that you can't beat the value for money. I stayed in a double room with a shared bath and it was very comfortable. The street is a bit noisy at times but that's what you get when you stay right in the middle of Manly. If it was quiet it would be boring.

Great location and lots of friendly people. So easy to meet and make friends here

It could definitely benefit from some renovations and fixing the elevator. No one likes lugging suitcases up flights of stairs

Location ONLY - Prime position. Staff very friendly. Nice that we had our own bathroom. All in all Manly didn't disappoint. Biggest highlight was going to the beach to watch the sun come up.

We knew going in that the complex was a budget backpackers facility. We knew what to expect and what we were walking into. This was a deliberate booking on our part and the fact that it was only one night we were willing to go with it. Other hotels were far too expensive for a one nights stay, not willing to pay $400 plus for one night. Surprisingly had a good sleep even though there was some yelling and yahooing from pub patrons.
