Not a great place to stay and certainly we am not going back there ever again. Its not a hotel really. I would probably say its a upgraded backpacker's hostel. The rooms requires upgrade immediately. The building is old and I doubt there was any maintenance/refurbishment in there in past 20 years. One of the lifts was "out of service"... More

I booked this hotel and was told it included parking. In fact the carpark was full of people who were not staying at the hotel! The staff were all parking in guest spots and somehow a whole pile of people had been given the code to get in. Gee I wonder how that happened. The staff were completely unapologetic -... More

My friend and I stayed at the Islander over New Years and were very disappointed with our stay. Although the location was great every other aspect of the hotel was not up to standard. First when we arrived the receptionist tried to charge us more than the room cost which is just unacceptable. When we finally went up to the... More

This hotel is in a great location right near Cavill Av. so easy access to the main shops, the beach, etc. The apartment had plenty of room but it was nothing too fancy. We were on a higher level so we did not have any noise from below. This hotel is great if you are looking for something basic, close... More

We stayed for 2 nights in the hotel part of the Islanders, in a room with a queen sized bed and a twin. The queen bed was extremely uncomfortable, you could feel the springs, but the blankets and pillows were good. The bathroom is tiny, old and fills with steam but the showerhead is great. The balcony was nice to... More
