I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom facilities two weeks ago on a Saturday night. My sister and her partner were in another room. My room felt safe the whole time. I had a tv , fridge and air con, and the bathroom facilities were within 10 metres of my room. I felt safe walking home at night... More

Stayed here in February, had 1 night before our Whitsundays trip and was planning to book 1 night after. The room we were giving was small and hot, the fan was in front of the light so it was like a strobe party when the fan was on and gave us both a headache! We couldnt pick up the wifi... More

We stayed with Magnums recently after our Whitsundays trip on the Anaconda III (which was awesome). We stayed for one night in a double as it was only $26 each, the room was basic but clean. The accommodation is situated in a lovely gardens with the river running trough. There were toilets and shower facilities right next door and the... More

My bf and I booked a private room for three and we were plesantly suprised! The other backpackers along the main street were much older and did not have the same range of facilities. This hostel has beer garden, pub, nightclub, extensive tour booking center and a diner on the same premisis. However, a word of warning- DO NOT EAT... More

Although they claim on their website that they have tent sites, I strongly disagree. What they do have is a backyard with a lawn and they charge for you to set up your tent there. It is a possibility, one could camp in the lawn. However, you cannot have your car with you. You have to park off the street... More

This hostel has a big problem with bed bugs. I stayed twice in recent weeks and both times the dorms were infected with bugs. Having experienced them in NZ last year I was able to recognise them straight away. I know that bugs can be brought in on people's bags etc so it's not necessarily the hostel's fault but they...

Bed mites!!! The beds where covered in graffiti and the paint work was rusting off! One person even wrote "don't let the bed bugs bite....actually" and dated it 2011!! The sheets smelt old and musty! Hostel sitting right in the middle of a pub. Only good thing was free wi fi and centre of town. But then again all the... More

I stayed in Magnums for 4 nights whilst travelling in the Whitsundays. I first arrived and had booked to stay in a 8 bed dorm but when I got to the dorm it had not been cleaned and I asked if I could upgrade to a private room. Not sure my stay would have been as enjoyable if I was... More
