“Nice hostel, incompetent staff”

Wasn‘t able to sleep for two nights because of Corona parties on sight. Apparently there‘s a no alcohol policy, but when I alerted reception to the fact that there are several extremely loud and boozy parties happening on the grounds, the ladies just said there‘s nothing they can do, because all bars are closed. Again, there‘s a no alcohol policy, so why isn‘t it enforced? Especially during times like these? There‘s a reason bars are closed and allowing the parties to move to the hostel is just moving the problem from one place to another. I‘m extremely disappointed that the staff just decided to close their eyes to the gravity of the situation. You as a hostel have a responsibility to keep people safe as well. Please make use of it 🙏🏼
Very nice and comfy rooms with ensuite bathrooms and and a fridge.

“Good location, but mostly geared to younger backpackers.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
The check-in system was only intuitive to those who spend most of their lives on a mobile phone. The facilities were pretty basic, but OK. The place was geared to backpackers. It was an upgraded caravan park, well-suited to backpackers, but not necessarily to those over the age of 40.
Quite a good location. The rooms were OK and had most things we needed.

This is the worst backpacker I've ever stayed. The equipment is totally not enough. So many guests everyday and only got one microwave. And the Wi-Fi is very weak, totally useless at all. The Tap Lock is trouble cause it's usually no reaction .The roommates is the worst, too. They're noisy and use my stuff, drank my water without asking. And the most important, I lost my stuff in my room, is a hairdryer. The reception sent me to two different receptions to ask for it, but I need to dry my hair immediately! Base apartment ask me to go to Nomad's reception, and the Nomad's ask me to go to camping receptions😕after these toss my hair dry already! (and that would get headaches). I know you are not a five-star hotel but what happened these days are really ridiculous. The reason why I stay here for 3 nights only because I don't have much money and there's little backpackers choices in Airlie Beach.
Nothing

Only a sheet to cover yourself at night. When I asked management for a blanket the response was that it’s summer and the don’t have any. The kitchen is lacking all sorts of utensils, especially sharp knives and no bread knife at all. According to signs in kitchen the reception has more of everything but when requesting cutlery/knives management said that all they had.
Great location, big rooms with nice mattresses.
