Good location handy to Surfers paradise , a short walk , very central . The property is old could do with upgrade. House keeping and office staff very good and helpful at all times. Our stay was pleasant, a little under our expectations due to the old age of the property,however did not distract from our holiday.

I was pleasantly surprised with my stay at this hotel. While being very basic I found the check in staff very helpful, the rooms to be quite spacious and a good size verandah.

We love the hotel!! Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff and straight away help us check-in. Since we had booked & pre-paid the room earlier, the check-in didn't take long. We booked 2 rooms. Parents room were facing the main road of Surfers Paradise and the beach, well not directly but hey, still a very nice morning view.... More

For backpackers on a budget this place was a great find! It was like luxury compared to the average hostel. The room had more of a hotel feel with an en-suit bathroom and was very clean. There were lockers big enough to store luggage and there was a balcony with a good view. The staff were very friendly and helpful.... More

Definitely not a 3 star hotel and if you are staying in this area for 3 or more nights than you should book a nice serviced apartment for a similar rate. But for only slightly more than 100 bucks on a Sat night, and being right in the middle of all Surfers has to offer, I can't really have too... More

Stayed there 20 years ago with our three young boys and the rooms are exactly the same. Very, very tired with the corners of all the furniture knocked off and the chipboard edges exposed.

This place needs a serious make over. Granted it is high traffic and budget accommodation for backpackers but the hotel style rooms are seriously run down. My main gripe during this visit was the fact a serious water leak occurred above our room, soaking all of my stuff and forcing my friend on to the couch due to soaked bed.... More
