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.

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.

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.
