Not too bad, not too good. They do ask people to give them good reviews in return for free luggage storage, so the ratings in hostelworld etc. might not be fully true. Didn’t have outlets next to my bed, and the shower was broken.

Great location right next to the main bars and lagoon. Rooms were very clean, massive space overall which stretched all the way down the Main Street in Airlie. Could also store bags for Whitsundays trip
