Stayed at Magnums for my first few nights, but after my Whitsundays trip made some friends who had stayed at beaches so decided to stay there on my return. The room was of average quality, but the size of the room was pretty good. The best thing about this hostel is its location and bar. its located on the main... More

This is a review for the bar at Beaches and not the hostel as I stayed elsewhere. The bar looks onto the main street in Airlie. It's big and loud with plenty of seating in a few different areas. They offer drinks promotions and a long list of menu items to suit all tastes. Sadly what I ordered didn't suit... More

We only stayed here for one night. We did not see the communial area or kitchen. The staff on reception were not overly helpful or friendly but not rude either. We shared a 8 bed mixed dorm with ensuite shower and toilet. It also had a fridge (which smelt) and a sink. The room was clean and bathroom were clean... More

Firstly the receptionist was the rudest person I have ever met!!! She threw the key at me and didnt even tell ms where my room was! Secondly everyone was on drugs! A guy came back and was sick all over the bathroom and then all over his bed. Reception is closed so we can't do anything and I want to... More

We got off to a bad start. We booked a double private room but were told this was double booked, as the email from agoda didn't come through until late the night before. I suspect the email didn't take over 24 hours to get through and rather someone made a boo boo, but it doesn't really mater (well unless you... More

I decided to treat myself to a private room at Airlie and managed to get a double room with ensuite for $60 per night. The bathroom was VERY damp and the tap was constantly dripping despite my best efforts to stop it. When I went to have a shower I was horrified to find a huge Cockroach on the shower... More

I got here and was SHOCKED. My room (a double, for A$70) was disgusting. It was big, but had an awful smell, and the bed sheets had stained. I was so sue the place had bed bugs I didn't even want to put my bags on the bed. I tried to cancel the room but of course they wouldn't let... More

We stayed in beaches for 3 nights however only paid for 2 as we booked a tour in the beaches tour shops along with our accommodation which saved us a lot of money and was a great deal, i suggest you do it that way! We jumped in the beaches mini bus from where the greyhound bus dropped us off... More

This is your typical party hostel. The rooms where clean and the staff where friendly, Beaches hostel is right in the middle of the main st and has a large bar at the front of the complex. I had a great time at the bar after my boat trip but found it hard to sleep the next night as the... More
