Hostels in Viti Levu Group, Fiji

They give access cards to enter the dorm, which is a good thing from security perspective. Only authorised travelers can enter the dorm. Bunk beds have sufficient closures to get some privacy, such that only 4 of beds can see each others. Shared toilet & bathrooms are separate. Smugglers Cove is the best place to chill in its bar and they organise some traditional shows on some days of the week.

I stayed here for two nights in a dorm, lodge 1. I had a top bunk and there wasn’t a railing so I was pretty worried about falling out. Also there weren’t any plugs inside the room - only one outside in the washroom area. Apparently the other dorm lodges do have plugs and railings though. Food is only at set times but was pretty reasonably priced! I had the split pea soup for dinner one night (5/5!) and a veggie curry the following (3/5) and a veggie burger for lunch (4.5/5). Complimentary breakfast was pretty basic but good enough! They had soy and almond milk available. There is a cute ethical shop/cafe nearby which is so nice but other than that I don’t think there’s much else within walking distance in terms of shops. The resort had daily activities to get involved with which is a bonus!! The pool was also very nice and the beach is great for snorkelling! My favourite part of the beach house was the shower in the washroom area attached to the dorm/lodge. It was an outside area but secluded and the shower pressure was insane!! And nice warm water. However, the toilet itself smelt pretty bad and I didn’t dare go near it.

Although it is located at the very back of downtown Nadi, it was easy to walk around downtown. I was worried about the low price, but the room was very clean. The complimentary breakfast was toast, butter, jam, and coffee. As for the transfer, the transfer from the airport to the hotel was free, which was very helpful. On the way back, the hotel took us to Port Denarau for 25 Fijian dollars. One thing to note is that there are only bath towels in the room. I recommend bringing amenities such as a hair dryer and shampoo. Also, a 25 Fijian dollar deposit is taken at check-in, so you need to have the cash for that amount.

I stayed at this accommodation while in Fiji for about 5 days during my transition. The location is very good, about 1 minute walk from the beach. However, you have to use a bus or taxi from the airport. The bus costs $1.50 no matter how far you go, and a taxi costs about $20. At the hotel, the showers were free to use, and the toilets were clean. I think it's better to bring your own towels. At night, I had a lot of fun singing and talking with the other guests while drinking a traditional drink called kava. I would like to stay here again if I go to Fiji.

The superior sea view room is small and exquisite, and there are some, but the toilet has been out of water and needs to be repaired.

The room is new, clean, and pleasant. However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The soundproofing is very poor; even quiet conversations from neighbors are clearly audible. In my case, the neighbors started talking non-stop from 6-7 AM, and I couldn't get back to sleep. The second point is that the location is far from the road, shops, cafes, or anything else. It's really only suitable for a quick overnight stay before moving on.
