Pros:

The location was fairly close to the shopping precinct and good outlook across open space. Easy to access the main road.
The beds were comfortable, but a lighter Doona would have been better.

Cons:

The accessibility was not good for disabled. Long walk from parking to apartment with luggage and personal items. Footpath needs urgent repairs - very dangerous tripping hazards in several places. The excessive use of highly scented
de-odorising products throughout apartment. Very little washing up detergent & only one very thin tea towel supplied.
The bins in kitchen & bathroom had not been emptied prior our arrival.

Would not recommend unless you just need a place to stay for one night
Pros:

Location

Cons:

There were no actual stairs for the bunk beds.
The toilet fan was so noisy.
Some of common kitchen sockets were broken.
Most of the staffs were not helpful and friendly, the receptionists were better.
With these kind of experiences, it was overpriced for a hostel charging 50 per night. It was not valuable at all.

Great location but...
Pros:

The central location was excellent.

Cons:

Cleanliness was lacking and the room was very dirty. Table stained, bathroom mould, dirty. I placed my soap on top of the shower screen it was black with dirt when I retrieved it. Exhaust fan and air conditioner desperately need cleaning-thick with dirt.
There verandah was really grubby. The shared kitchen was thankfully passable. With 6 of us in one room there should be sufficient budget to keep things clean and hygienic. There was a lot of maintenance happening so the pool was closed. Kitchen and laundry power was off during the day most of my stay.

Pros:

Nulla

Cons:

Camera sporca. Doccia con scarico intasato e completamente piena di residui di docce precedenti. Condizionatori ubicati su marciapiede di accesso con scarichi della condensa direttamente sul marciapiede che quindi é scivoloso e pericoloso

Waschmaschine im Zimmer, gutes Bett und Pool.
Pros:

Nach vielem Tagen im Camper ein gutes Bett und eine Waschmaschine. Das fühlte sich super an. Das Hotel ist etwas heruntergekommen. Aber nach dem Wirbelsturm Narelle wird immer noch vielerorts renoviert. Der Pool war erfrischend.

Cons:

Wie vieles vor Ort, alles etwas provisorisch und ohne all zu viel Charme aufgebaut.

Cheap but no great expectations
Pros:

Spent a night in 6 mixed dorm room. Private bathroom was basic but a bonus. First night it was good as there were no other people in the room. Second night a bit of a disaster. Pub next door was very busy and people were in and out from the room. Staff everywhere. People gathering in the bathroom (?). We had an additional night in a private room and it was ok. Room is very basic. Overall clean enough for a backpacker but facilities in generral quite rundown. Kitchen was spacious .

Cons:

Building needs a bit of love. Pictures are not really reflecting the reality. Renovations are required. It seems that there are some backpackers who live them permanently and some rooms outside look like a little camp area. Not great looking if you are stayign as a tourist.

Good food and lovely staff but disappointing accommodation
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff. we really enjoyed the restaurant on site, with live music and really excellent food and service !

Cons:

We had to access our room through a construction site and duck under heavy machinery to get to the door. Building started early the next morning right next to our bedroom. Cockroaches in our bedroom. Rooms should not be rented during such extensive building work.

適度な宿泊
Pros:

大通り沿いでビーチ、スーパー、ビジターセンター、ガソリンスタンドなど全てが近くロケーションがよかった。
併設のレストランがあり便利だった。広く開放的で味もよかった。

Cons:

特にないが、強いて言えばコインランドリーを使用するのに硬貨が必要でひと手間だった。
