It was ok, I guess you get what you pay for. Beds were a bit cheap and nasty - very thin mattress. Our bathroom door didn't close properly. Really hot at night because the a/c wasn't very effective. Bedding and room reasonably clean, and great location - close to everything.It was ok, I guess you get what you pay for. Beds were a bit cheap and nasty - very thin mattress.

The room was not clean and the wardrobe dirty. There were no places to hang clothing in either the bed room, or the bathroom. It is however in an excellent position for travellers like me.The room was not clean and the wardrobe dirty. There were no places to hang clothing in either the bed room, or the bathroom.

Great location if you are into partying on the weekends. If not then it's horrible- clubs are right next door and across the street. Great location if you are into partying on the weekends. If not then it's horrible- clubs are right next door and across the street. ...Close

the rooms are spacious and clean but the kitchen was a total disaster and the pool tiny. only stay here if you're not cooking for yourself and even then just as a overnight stop before moving on.the rooms are spacious and clean but the kitchen was a total disaster and the pool tiny. only stay here if you're not cooking for yourself and even then just as a overnight stop before moving on....Close

the hostel is situated directly in flinders street and only some minutes to "the strand" and therefore the beach. the staff is friendly and very helpful. the rooms could be bit cleaner but all in all nice to stay there. the hostel is situated directly in flinders street and only some minutes to "the strand" and therefore the beach. the staff is friendly and very helpful. the rooms could be bit cleaner but all in all nice to stay there. ...Close

I was disappointed with the helpfulness of the staff, as well as the rooms. The rooms have hardly an storage and are pretty dumpy looking.I was disappointed with the helpfulness of the staff, as well as the rooms. The rooms have hardly an storage and are pretty dumpy looking....Close

The sheets were clean, but the kitchen and building are not. It is next to all the bars in Townsville and is very noisy.The sheets were clean, but the kitchen and building are not. It is next to all the bars in Townsville and is very noisy....Close

The only thing that was very annoying was that the Eftpos machine wasn't working and it cost me $6.53 to get money off my credit card to pay for our accommodation. Surely you could have arranged one of the old fashioned credit card swipers so I didn't have to incur the cash advance fee on my credit card.The only thing that was very annoying was that the Eftpos machine wasn't working and it cost me $6.53 to get money off my credit card to pay for our accommodation.
