As everyone's said the location is one of the best in Surfers, not far from anything at all so really convenient. Rooms were big enough and have a little balcony which is handy and the en suite bathrooms are pretty decent, although the shower pressure is awful. The rooms themselves clearly used to be hotel rooms that now have a... More

Kitchen facilities were terrible, this is a large backpackers and they had around 5 pans, each time i wanted to cook i had to wait. The dryers didnt work so was stuck with a load of wet clothes ! reception staff at the hotel desk were not helpful and rude at times. The fan in the room barely worked and... More

I stayed in nomads islander for just over a week the hostel was clean and very nice for a hostel we had a fridge and tv in our room which was a bonus and an en suite as I've been travelling for a long time I really appreciated these! The beds wernt the most comfy but were better than some... More

DON'T EVEN STAY HEAR. THAT ALL I CAN SAY WITHOUT SWARING. I have stayed at backpackers before but this one is realy realy bad I would not recomad it to my worest enemay. The rooms have NO AIRCONDATION, NO CEALING FANS & WINDOS THAT BEARLY OPEN (IT'S IN QUEENSLAND FOR GOODNES SAKE). You have to hire your plates, the fridge... More

I visited through the height of the season and refused to pay triple the price I pay at our normal stay. The double private room was small, but all I needed for 1 weekend. The floor coverings need replacing along with the fridge but other wise fine for 1 person, even though it was a double room I think we'd... More

We booked to stay here for one night on our way from Byron Bay to Brisbane. We arrived at around 2pm and were told we couldnt check in until 4/5pm at the earliest because they were very busy (Schoolies had just left) and therefore there was lots of cleaning to do, not really a great excuse when someone is paying...

My son and his friends were in a shared room during schoolies. He couldn't sleep due to the noise from other rooms and then at 4.40 by street cleaners. They had no air conditioning or fan and had no window to open. Cooking facilities were meagre. the door had been ripped off the cupboard. Towels were replaced daily which was... More

When I think of this place, it's 'ok'. It's a hotel that has basically seen a market by creating a separate reception in the basement to quietly tuck the backpackers in the spare old rooms (or that's exactly how it feels!) There was a great arcade area downstairs full of games etc- but it was always empty, and was shared... More

I stayed here for 4 nights. I chose the accommodation based on the location and it was spot on!! This hotel is in the centre of Surfers Paradise but at the same time far enough away from nightlife that you aren't kept awake. 2 minutes to the main beach and 30 seconds across the road to Woolworths! Everything is within... More
