Guest Reviews
- Rodrigo Martín (10/5): Especial para ir de paso - Todo Nada
- Alex (5/5): -
- Jurre (9/5): -
- Reginald Paul (10/5): thoroghly enjoyable - Excellent nothing
- Naoise (9/5): A great hostel with lovely staff - The staff were great at keeping in contact before we arrived. They rescheduled our tour and arranged a shuttle to the greyhound bus for us. I had a private room and bathroom which was cosy but so clean and had a tv. The shower was hot with good pressure. The pool seemed clean but I didn’t have time to use it. There was a free breakfast included. The kitchen was clean and not overwhelming. Comfy sofas and lounge area with tv. Right beside Aldi and Hungry Jacks. About 10 min drive from greyhound bus stop. There was a waterproof protector on the bed which made a really loud noise any time you turned over and felt a little plasticy under you.
- Downing (1/5): I won’t be staying there again and will not be returning or telling anyone I know to stay there - They were very rude The stay wasn’t clean at all very poorly managed
- Zach (10/5): - Spotless and so clean!!
- Jurre (9/5): Perfecte plek om te verblijven in Makcay - Super schoon, gratis ontbijt, vriendelijk personeel en alles is schoon en ziet er vrij nieuw uit. De wasmachines en droger deden het slecht.
- Camila (10/5): - Perfect place to stay in Mackay!🧡
- b1488398d816718b8c1dd24f9f61bcd4 (9/5): Friendly helpful staff that provided a lovely stay - Clean with great facilities in a central location Nothing

- 15193a9dddee72f13de3e4f575e46d24 (3/5): - An alarm went off every single night waking me up. Ask a question via booking.com and don’t receive an answer
- 271293c74e9d7148b968b5574a68812a (9/5): Awesome location and fantastic facilities - It was so clean and beds were really comfortable. I also liked the keys on your phone It was just a bit tricky to find reception and parking when we arrived
- dbf0369f0e4a7384d9e415b2c2315c4b (1/5): Don’t stay here if you’re a solo female traveller. Or want to be near the city centre. - Kitchen has more than enough basics for cooking etc. The staff. Made a complain on the app and instead of apologising or looking to help me or fix it I was given a short reply about how I was wrong about something I said. Then about 4/5 hours later I was offered a room change because other people had obviously complained too but I was no longer comfortable staying here. I am currently trying to be refunded as I cut my stay short by 3 days but booking.com are taking forever to reply.

- Lucio (10/5): - Everything is perfect, clean, comfortable, a great place.
- Diego Alfredo (10/5): -
- Rafael (7/5): - It's modern and clean. The staff is very helpful and kind. It's far from the city center, the beds are very open to the others (no privacy to sleep) and the price is high.
- Jip (6/5): Prima - Sociaal Kamer
- Doug (9/5): Clean, good value, friendly staff and polite and friendly other guests. - Materials provided for breakfast were good. En suites in the dorms were great. I couldn't believe how quiet it was. I had a top bunk and the narrow piping for steps hurt my feet.

- Vanessa (1/5): Terrible costumer service - Bad location very far from the city, the bathroom in the room was dirty. The girl in reception was very condescending and rude all the time when I was asking things.
- Tiaan (10/5): Very good for a affordable holiday and some wakeboarding! - Nice rooms small but enough. Breakfast was a nice continetal. Book a room as far away from the main door.... it slams hard every time someone go through it. Loud enough to wake you up. Other wise secure and safe place.
- Nathan (10/5): -
- Vicky (4/5): Didn’t end up staying left and went elsewhere - Average No fridge in room. Narrow passage had to rely on a phone to get in which was hard to open haven to walk pass a area where people just sitting around didn’t feel safe

- Laurita (3/5): Everything was ok until the final morning of my stay. Unfortunately a fellow roommate was extremely loud coming into sh - It was close to the supermarket & red rooster I’m sorry to say but there were several staff members that were quite rude
- Şeyma Nur (9/5): -
- Sabina (8/5): War sehr gut für einen Tag relaxen. - Sehr sauber alles, der Pool war cool und die Lage ist recht ruhig.
Der Fernseher im Zimmer hatte auch Netflix etc.
Frühstück war auch ganz gut, nicht spektakulär aber immerhin etwas. Das Zimmer ist sehr kompakt, aber hat schon gepasst.
Die Laundry Nutzungszeiten sind zu kurz.
- Shirley (8/5): Great ' safe ' monitored - Locality and hospistality N/A
- Luke Núñez (4/5): Always pay extra to not share a room - Instalaciones modernas. Demasiadas camas por habitacion y un solo baño. Parking anunciado y confirmado por el hotel pero resulto ser solo si reservabas una habitacion individual sino daban como parking el de un Hungry Jacks en obras que da la la autovia.
No pude dormir por dos personas roncando, cosa que no es culpa del hotel, pero si no hubiera tantas camas pegadas en la habitacion podria haber sido mejor.
- Thomas (9/5): super - staff sympathique, activité cuisine un peut petite
- Elodie (8/5): - Logement très propre et moderne
Personnel très accueillant et disponible Peut-être qu’il serait bien d’ajouter des lampes individuelles dans les dortoirs pour plus de confort
- LEANNE (7/5): -
- Jay (10/5): -
- Zgoła (8/5): - Parking, klimatyzacja. Wszystko mało, mało miejsca i śniadanie tylko na słodko.
- Tsai (5/5): - Breakfast and parking included. No curtain for the bed, and there are no outlets or night lamps by the bedside.
- keith (10/5): Excellent - Leaving
- Gerhard (5/5): - Nichts Kein Kasten, kein Bad-Waschbecken _ nur ein sehr sehr kleines WC-Handwaschbecken, fast keine Ablagen im Bad, kein Zimmerservice, Frühstücksteller zun selber abwaschen und keine Servietten, Frühstücksspeck oder Schinken vom Aldi nebenan zum selber kaufen,

- de los angeles (8/5): Buena. - Todo es lindo, un lugar cómodo, buen internet, buen desayuno, buena ubicación ! Cada vez que me quedo en este lugar, al acostarme al día siguiente siempre amanezco con picaduras :/ quizás hay un problema de ácaros o no lo sé, pero solo me ha pasado en este lugar.
- Melissa (5/5): Behind prison gates, behind a green or red swipe was a full survellance prison. Big brother watching - New and updated Felt like a prison.
- RHONDA (7/5): - Breakfast included Smallest room we’ve stayed in, even with an apparent upgrade..very cramped..No fridge in our room..bad reception for TV, and only one free to air channel available..very small bathroom, with no cabinets..no clothes storage..no luggage area..and I would prefer to have an entry card for each guest, rather than only one of us using a phone app. 😒
- Lucas (1/5): -
- Clément (7/5): -
- Christian (8/5): - Sauber, neu, sehr freundlich Eher für Backpacker, alle entries nur über App..., nichts für ältere Menschen..
Kleines Zimmer, eher für Singles
- Ulrike (7/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): - Excellent facilities, spacious with large kitchen. Plenty of tables and outside pool a bonus. Nice at the water park. Low lying area with lots of ducks gave it some charm. It is situated out of town, which seems isolated if you don't have a car.
- Sarah (1/5): They Lied bout cant give refund. - The room was nice enough Werent advised no fridge in room, she refused me a refund after i explained i need a fridge for medication this is at 2pm plently of time to rebook the room which we hadnt moved a thing.so after paying $190, not $170as per my booking confirmation I had to pay for a room elsewhere with a fridge.
She told me id hav to speak to booking.com about refund but her motel charged my card not booking.com
- Merel (6/5): -
- Paul (9/5): Would stay again no problem - Clean, good shower, comfortable bed Nothing
- Trish (10/5): Lovely staff, friendly guests, wonderful breakfast, great last minute stay with excellent standard accommodation. - A little unknown gem, hiding away. It had everything we needed for the 1 night stay. Our room was a little cramped for more than 1 night.
- Laura (10/5): short and sweet secure parking - Breakfast was good Nothing
- jodie (9/5): -
- Patrick (10/5): Fantastic option if your travelling with a group and in town for sporting event. - Fantastic place to stay with a group. The facilities and location are perfect for skateboard competition across the road. The access to Aldi across the road made it very easy to self cater. The included breakfast was nice but it really needs some better coffee to go with it.
- Catalina (10/5): -
- Phillip (7/5): It ended up being ok - Breakfast was just ok not provision for hot food unless it was your own. The venue as OK for young travellers. The staff were very good installing Goki on my phone which is used for all entry points and communication Not knowing how to get access to get into the venue was a problem as I had to wait for a guest to let me in.. When I got into my room it obviously had not been cleaned from previous guest. Wet towels on floor, bed not made and room not cleaned. Had to go to reception and request another room.
Its not a great location for business travellers aster are no restaurants nearby only an Aldi store.
Maybe I didn't read all amenities before booking.
- Kennedy (9/5): -
- Tabitha (10/5): -
- Dan (10/5): Recovering and happy - Excellent breakfast service, felt welcomed and comfortable. The bunk bed made squeaks when you move during the night wakes up fellow travellers.
- Donna (10/5): - Everything was very good even with my very late booking.
- Gina Melissa (9/5): - Everything perfect Location, far from the city
