Liked: Really friendly and helpful staff, wide range of tours available for booking at reception. Room had a good sea view and was a little old but generally clean.
Disliked: Air -con was leaking slightly and not very cold, but there was a ceiling fan so it was still alright.

Liked: I liked the pool, balcony at our room and the free wifi altough not in the room. The staff was very friendly and helpfull and i could leave my backpack safe en secure for one day, because my bus left late in de evening. I was lucky to arrive first and had a 2persons bed for myself in the dorm, which was more an appartment. I don't like to stay in very big hostels (like base, nomads etc) so this was an good choice.
Disliked: There wasn't enough forks and knifes, bowls and plates and no glasses. The kitchen is old, but everything worked. The door of the bathroom was broken, so we couldn't close it. But probably they fixed it already :)

Liked: The location of the property was good, but I would not stay here again as the rest of the hotel was so poor.
Disliked: The room had a multitude of faults, the patio doors did not lock, there was a large hole in the ceiling, the bath and the taps were corroded, the ceiling in the bathroom was coming down, the room had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, the crockery was dirty, the used toiletries of the previous occupier were left in the bathroom. When I complained to staff, they said they were aware the room was 'a little jaded'! The refused to give me the address for head office and said it was their policy not to issue refunds. I would strongly advise against staying here.

Liked: I loved the terraces! The rooms were big hotel rooms with extra beds put in to make them share rooms. Had a great bathroom and kitchenette, and fantastic balcony with a seaview. The location was excellent and was lovely and quiet. Loved that I had a TV too to watch the rugby. Everything about it was perfect!
Disliked: There was a strange rule about being charged if you didnt take your own rubbish out.

Liked: We were the only 2 in the room. There was a nice pool and a hot tub. There were good views. The dorm room we stayed in (5 people) had its own bathroom and kitchen, so perfect if you want somewhere quiet with walkable distance to all the nightlife!
Disliked: You couldnt meet other travellers here

Liked: Of the four beds in the room, I was lucky enough to get the one that had an actual mattress on it. It was very comfortable, and I got a good night's sleep. Also, the room comes with a kitchen complete with cookware and plates.
Disliked: This isn't a hostel. It's a property that rents out basic vacation apartments. They've just taken a couple of the rooms and "converted" them into dorms by adding additional beds. There's no programming, no effort to help you meet other people, and even if you did want to have people over to your room, they'll charge you if you get caught. There were ants all over the floor, and the shower barely spat out enough water to wash off.

Liked: Nice view over Airlie Beach coze the hostel is located on a hill.
Disliked: The hostel was once a hotel which is now too run down and used as a hostel to squeeze out the last dollar out of it. While I was there a investor visited the location. Additionally the stuff is unmotivated and unfriendly. The reception closed one hour prior to the announced time. Unfortunately the only two PCs of the hostel were in the same room. Is located on a steep hill which is not very comfortable to access. Officially a non party policy but no one who cares about it. Luckily I only booked one night in advance so I could leave the next day.

Liked: Arrived off the night bus and was allowed straight in my room, which was basically a hotel room with satellite TV, double bed, balcony and proper bathroom all for $30! Very quiet, good if you fancy a night off from partying.
Disliked: Pretty hard to find your way around the resort, its a bit of a maze!

Liked: Plenty of space - views of sea. Away from the crowds but within very short distance of main street. Nice pool - quite small but clean and not busy when we were there.
Disliked: Nothing. However, it is up a steep hill and there are slopes and steps to most of the apartments - not so good for those with disabilities or older clients.

Liked: Apartment style - kitchenette available in room, no bunk beds.
