    Free delicious pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning. Big, comfortable rooms with storage space and lockers. - Good washing facilities with iron and board available. - Nice lounge area and gym for guests to use. - Great location near the Greyhound bus stop and ferry to Magnetic Island. - Close to shops, restaurants, and clubs. - Friendly and respectful staff.

    Felt so at home, nothing was too much trouble.

    The hostel had a clean and well-presented private double room with comfortable beds. The room had both air conditioning and a fan, which were great for guests with disabilities. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery. The outside seating area was a nice place to relax. The staff were friendly and even returned a forgotten item of clothing.

    Felt cozy, nothing to complain about.

    Had an amazing Christmas stay! the location was perfect, just a short walk away from the main bus terminal and ferry stop. the room I stayed in was spacious and had a comfortable bed. the air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Townsville heat. the facilities were great, especially the well-equipped kitchen and clean showers. the staff were friendly and provided helpful information. Free movies and popcorn were a nice bonus!

    The check-out time was a bit early, leaving me with a few hours to kill with my heavy bag. the WiFi was unreliable and the water in the shower was either boiling hot or freezing cold.

    The hostel had a great location, with cosy covered lounge areas and being very close to the Sealink ferry for a trip to Magnetic Island. It was also conveniently situated in the middle of terminals and shops. the staff were friendly and always ready to help, and the communal areas were clean and well organized.

    The location was fantastic - it was really close to the bus and boat terminal, which made it convenient for exploring the area. Plus, it was just a stone's throw from the shops, restaurants, and clubs, so we didn't have to worry about getting around. The basic amenities in the rooms were satisfactory, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms themselves were very spacious, with bunk beds on either side and security lockers for our valuables. The breakfast provided was good, although it wasn't as social as I've experienced in other hostels. my experience at this hotel was positive, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

    We had a great stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, near the party area and very close to the ferry terminal. It made transportation really easy and convenient. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel facilities. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a great start to our mornings.

    Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like!

    The hostel is perfectly located for those planning to visit Magnetic Island, as it is very close to the ferry terminal. it is right in the center and close to the bus station, making it easy to get around. the beds are clean and comfy, and there are hot showers available. the gym is a nice added bonus for those looking to stay active.

    Some of the communal areas have an unpleasant smell that doesn't contribute to a very friendly atmosphere.

    The location of this hotel is top-notch, right in the middle of terminals and shops. It's also conveniently close to the bus and boat terminal. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious. I loved the bunk bed setup on either side of the room. The breakfast provided was good, with a nice selection including butter, jam, and syrup. It's a huge bonus to have these little touches included.

    The air conditioning in my room didn't work, which was a bit of a letdown.

    Amazing arrangement of limited space with many spots to chill, hide, or meet friends. Partly outdoor cinema for a unique experience. - Very clean rooms and bathrooms with comfortable beds. - Clean and well-equipped kitchen, the best seen in 6 months of travel. - Great tropical set out with a cosy covered lounge area. - Peaceful vibe and quiet atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. - Late check-in possibility for added convenience. - Close proximity to Greyhound bus stop and ferry to Magnetic Island. - Clean and pleasant common areas with amenities like TV, pool table, and darts. - Helpful information provided about things to do and see in the area.

    Felt so at home, no complaints.

    Great Location, Clean Facilities, Helpful Staff

    During my recent city trip, I had the pleasure of staying at a hostel that offered excellent facilities and helpful staff. The location was prime, with easy accessibility to key attractions in the area. The hostel was very clean, and the kitchen was spotless. The staff was extremely helpful, offering amazing tourist recommendations of the local area. it was an excellent experience.

    The hostel had a downside to it; the environment was quite noisy at night, which made it somewhat challenging to get a good night's rest.

    The value for money at this hostel was exceptional, with comfortable beds, a spacious room, and great amenities. The location was convenient, close to transportation and local attractions. The staff treated me with respect and were helpful when needed.

    The food for breakfast could have been improved with more variety.
