This hotel looked half decent on the outside, but when i was greeted by a ciggarette stinking black teeth saggy old lady, i knew i was in for a treat... Very rude service, and did not make eye contact... elevator felt as old as the builing.. 40 years i think... and was damaged to the point of not return.. ROOM... more

We stayed here for one night for the Gold Coast Marathon. It cost us $155 for a 1 bedroom apartment. The apartment had 1 bedroom, a bathroom and a combined living/dining area. The location is ideal, being right across the road from the beach. The views from our balcony were good. It's only a short drive/walk to Cavill Avenue as... more

Stayed here in 2007 and back again. Hotel has great location and great views from the balconies. The price is very reasonable so I wont complain about things that dont look too '5 starish'. Overall, if you are on a budget or just want somewhere centrally located in surfers, this is where you should go. The staff are very freindly... more

This "hotel" is shocking! I will tell everyone I know never to set foot in this ancient hotel.I dont even know where to start...when you walk in you are greeted with the smell of urine, the staff seem like they are on a "work for the dole programme" as they dont give a hoot about customer service whatsoever.Very unwelcoming, we... more

I have just returned from the worst hotel experience of my life, do not stay here. Not only are the rooms appalling and haven't been updated for at least 30 years, the service is disgusting. By all means don't ask for anything you will be verbally attacked by the staff its apparently not in their job description to make your... more

No water available in drink machine, toilet dirty! Staff the rudest! Apparently they only have 1 housekeeper I was told! Most... more

We stayed at the International Beach Resort on our honeymoon in May 2008. We booked through asiarooms.com and paid about $100 AUD for the night. We chose it because we wanted a decent place in Surfers but didn't want to spend too much since we were only going to be there the one night. Most of the nicer hotels on... more

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. The only thing going for it is the location. The view was of the ocean. The place should be condemmed or made into a backpackers hotel. Room had an unusual amount of cigarette burns every where. One couch and TV that had no remote control. Drapes were torn and had burn marks. NEVER confuse... more
