Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 12th November 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: Very very very noisy! The noise from the nightclubs outside is intolerable and lasts until gone 3am. No free evening meal either.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 24th September 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Location great if you can cope with the noise from the pubs and clubs neighbouring the hostel. Rooms are very dusty and floors are cracked, plumbing seems bad. Needs a full refurbishment really.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 1st November 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: The only problem was it rained a couple of times when we were there and there is no inside eating area. Also had a good night sleep couldnt hear any noise from surrounding pubs.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 2nd October 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: They said there would be free dinner but there wasn't. They also said there was free breakfast...but all it was, was cereal (no milk) and bread... I liked the fact though that they had rooms that slept 3 people...like a motel room.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 14th September 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Reception hours not very long. No access to internet after 7.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 27th June 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: There is not much going on in Townsville. The location is close to the ferry terminal to get to Magnetic Island, but not much in the way of bar, restaurant and nightlife. The hostel was not very clean, although many younger people here are not good at cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen. Overall it was adequate but nothing special.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 23rd July 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: deteriorating. bunk beds are 2 normal beds welded together, is this legal? fixtures falling apart. mozzies living in pool. i think i got bed bugs. no hot water. uhhh... the tv in the room was nice.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 23rd July 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: Townsville is a bit of a dead place to be honest, and from the looks/sounds of things this hostel is the best of a bunch. A bit dirty though - when I checked into my room well into the afternoon it hadn't been cleaned from the last people - some of the beds were unmade and the bin was overflowing. Also, there was piles of dirt/dust all over the floor. Rooms were nice though - TV and ensuite!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 5th July 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: As was expected because of the location, it was quite noisy. The kitchen was pretty messy and we tended to stay away from the communal food, but that was because of the other quests. The free dinners are good, small portions and typical pub food, but hey it was free - not a good idea for vegetarians though Would definately reccommend gloebtrotters for people travelling on a budget or those wanting to meet new people every day....

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 30th June 2008 Female 18-24 2/5 Comments: A big atmosphere decreaser was the owner/manager couple who treated us like it was our fault that the hostel was dirty and pool table was broken all though we had just arrived. Reseption girl was nice and helpful but the manager couple very rude.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 10th March 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Only stayed one night before heading to magnetic island! Really nice friendly staff though, and free dinner and breakfast which is good! Clean and decent internet room!! Near shops and bars!!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 4th March 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: We stayed in a 4 bed dorm for 25 dollars and we really thought it wasn't worth the money, the door to the bathroom didn't close, the room looked dirty! The beds were clean though and the breakfast and free dinner were allright..

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating France 1st February 2008 Mixed Group 18-24 3/5 Comments: Please, clean the pool ! The beds were crap. Please print the address of the Irish pubon the voucher next time.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Germany 25th January 2008 Male 18-24 3/5 Comments: Nice small hostel in a good location. Free breakfast and dinner (just a snack, upgrade 2 full meal for just $6).

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 12th January 2008 Mixed Group 31-40 2/5 Comments: Dodgy, sparky(!) electrics, take care. The best thing about this place was the cheap, fast internet, just $2 perhour. However you don't have to stay here to use it,

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 17th January 2008 - - 2/5 Comments: Damp floors, damp walls, damp bed, smell of damp, unfriendly manager/unhelpful manager..... we only stayed half an hour...

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Sweden 10th January 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: The "free dinner" is a bit of a joke. A tiny, tiny bowl of cold pasta in tomato sauce hardly qualifies as far as I'm concerned.. Apart from that, we have no complaints. The place has no real character to speak of, but it does its job.
