Bathrooms and housekeeping need improving

I’ve stayed at a few Nomad’s and you usually know what to expect, big rooms and pretty comfy beds. This property was great in terms of facilities it’s a big site with a lot of stuff to do. However it really let itself down by the terrible state of the bathrooms. The shower in my en suite was the worst I’ve ever come across in a hostel. The taps barely worked and you had to turn a knob to get the water to flow as if you left it on the shower would leak. Yesterday the whole shower fell apart and water sprayed everywhere. Once I’d finished I left the bathroom and got a pretty harsh shock from the switch in the bathroom and one of the girls in my room said she’d had the same thing the day before so today I went to use the camper showers instead but got barely a trickle from it at points. Housekeeping made the floors in the bedroom so wet everyday there was a puddle that never went away and was easy to slip up. They didn’t add anymore toilet paper on more than one occasion and left cigarette butts which had been left by French smokers outside the rooms were not cleaned. It’s a shame because apart from the dire bathrooms and poor housekeeping (and allowing smoking on the grounds) it’s actually a great hostel more like a resort. But those things really let it down. Comfy beds with privacy curtains and big lockers were great.

The accomodation wasn’t the cleanest or best maintained in terms of amenities, however the staff were brilliant and helpful in ensuring a wonderful holiday. It’s on the Main Street of Airlie Beach which made transport, dining and activities super accessible.

Poorly maintained budget accommodation.

Dilapidated Old room with few facilities. Very noisy. You could hear every noise from adjoining rooms. The shower head drooped so I had to bend down to wash my hair.

Okay stay for backpackers

This is for backpackers. I must say I blame myself for not looking closely enough. I would not have booked this hotel for me. The private room was dated. There was not a single seat to sit on. The lighting was terrible. Good thing we only stayed one night

Booked this through wotif.com. Nowhere in the wotif booking page does it mention this is backpacker accommodation. In fact it calls it a hotel. There were swarms of young people - schoolies? Room was spacious and clean, but very tired. May be ok for backpacker’s but certainly not up to par as a hotel.

The property itself was lovely, the room however was well below standards of hospitality with rusty bar fridge, mould showing on ceilings, no blanket, mismatching drapes, most missing hooks, leaking old aircon units and broken outdoor furniture. Paying 198 for this unit was a total rip off.
