Hotel a 2 stelle in Queensland, Australia

Un ostello appena ristrutturato è gestito da Little Drifter in Cairns CBD area. Tutto è completamente nuovo e ben mantenuto, tranne per le lavastoviglie (molti sono rotti e ancora in attesa di essere fissato, solo 2-3 le macchine funzionano, sia lavanderia che asciugatura costo $6 ogni volta, quindi sarebbe $12 in totale se si lava e si asciuga Ma un grande grido al personale, sono tutti molto amichevoli, responsabili e utili, e questo fa davvero una grande differenza. L'atmosfera intera dell'ostello è davvero accogliente e fredda. Ho vissuto in un dormitorio 8-bed, tutti sono davvero rispettosi e tranquilli, soprattutto dopo le 22:00 quando le luci sono fuori. La cucina ha tutto quello che ti serve, quindi non devi preoccuparti di niente. E per le donne che potrebbero avere bisogno di farsi secco i capelli, si può prestare un asciugacapelli al ricevimento rilasciando i passaporti/licenze di guida. Per quanto riguarda la posizione, è sicuramente buono, tutto è a passeggiata. Woolworths è appena vicino alla porta, Esplanade e Lagoon sono a soli 5 minuti a piedi, Cairns Central a soli 10 minuti a piedi. È certamente una scelta davvero buona se siete nuovi alla città e vorreste avere facile e veloce accesso a tutto.

Actually Myself and my colleague booked two family cabins for three nights. That is for work and we were the only guests. As per advertised on trip.com we paid for including buffet breakfast. Following day morning when we went for the restaurant we were told they have not been provided our names and we need to pay for breakfast.. So I had to bring my booking print out and show the restaurant staff breakfast was included. Even though they let us eat there they were not convinced and were suspicious I guess. So that day my colleague went to see the manager of the accommodation and he said to me she was not convinced about breakfast was included. My colleague said it was very unpleasant and embarrassing. She told him I need to come down too. But later when I went to see her she said everything is sorted out and problem was they didn't know anything about Trip.com and trip.com send the booking through ******* and wrongly mentioned each of our booking included three adults and the extra payment is for additional adults as they understood. So the third day morning we didn't have issue at the breakfast as our names passed on. But unfortunately last day morning restaurant staff asked us to pay for breakfast because our name was not on the list. Luckily the chef remembered us and he was very politely let us eat. Even though we paid for breakfast we were at mercy of good people. Whole experience was very inconvenient and embarrassing. I think main bungle was done by Trip.com. But management did not bother to completely sort it out. This was my first time with Trip.com and Aaok Moondarra Accommodation Village. My colleague said he did not have issues previously with Trip.com but all those occasions were without breakfast. Other than that accommodation was really good. It had got good Wi-Fi, YouTube and Netflix. My advise is if you book through Trip.com for an accommodation with breakfast make sure with the accommodation that it has been correctly passed on to them.

Okay here’s my review. The Espy has so much going for it in terms of being central to the entertainment precinct of Cairns Esplanade.  Check in was easy and friendly and the two bunk dorm had its own dedicated ensuite bathroom which was very clean and quite large. The bedroom was clean and the bunks were enclosed wood and steel construction with zero squeaking. Clean towel and linen provided. So that’s all the very good stuff. The not as good things I observed were: - the lounge/common areas were dimly lit, very tired (bordering on festy) furniture and not somewhere I’d socialise due to limited seating, very few power/USB outlets or clean comfortable seating. - The pool…. Or should I call it the tropical punch bowl of various biological matter and other detritus… if you’re keen of growing something fungal on your body, go in…. I decided not to. -Kitchen and meal prep area all seemed clean and safe to get your mung bean and tofu ready for consumption.  - The personal under bunk locker was missing its latch and with two roommates I had to say a little prayer that my gear would be safe inside my enclosed bunk. Overall this was my maiden voyage as a backpacker and at 57 years of age, I’ve stayed in a lot of Hotels and Motels costing far more for way less cleanliness. I rate this place highly for all the good reasons above.  The not so good stuff is easily fixed by management but for $65 per night in peak season, I don’t think you can get any better value in Central Cairns right near the action. Pubs, cafes, night market and the City Lagoon. Thanks Espy crew, you made this old dog’s stay a pleasant one and will be back if and when the opportunity presents itself.

Back in K2 Brisbane. As usual, check in was smooth and easy. As usual, the reception staff was friendly, professional and accommodating. I have tagged K2 Brisbane as my main go-to accommodation in Brissy.

Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è molto alto. Il prezzo include cena e colazione gratuite. Non abbiamo cenato perché avevamo poco tempo. Abbiamo fatto colazione, che offriva una selezione molto ricca, con diversi tipi di pane, marmellata, yogurt, latte, ecc., oltre a frutta fresca. L'ambiente è un po' affollato e si percepisce un leggero odore non molto piacevole, ma che si attenua dopo averlo sentito a lungo. Il materasso ha un'imbottitura più comoda e lenzuola, federe e asciugamani vengono cambiati per ogni ospite. Questo è un aspetto piuttosto positivo. Di notte, praticamente tutti mantengono il silenzio nella zona relax o parlano a bassa voce. Se avete bisogno di parlare ad alta voce o di svolgere qualche attività, tutti si recano nell'area comune. Il senso della moralità pubblica è piuttosto buono. Il bagnoschiuma, lo shampoo e il balsamo in bagno sono contenuti in flaconi separati, ma hanno la stessa consistenza. Sono comodi da usare. Nel complesso, sono molto soddisfatto.

I’ve stayed in other backpackers before, and I’m really surprised by how clean and organized this place is. It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely impressive. I stayed for 4 days, and for 3 of them everything was very clean. The kitchen has everything you need — I even used the mini oven to make homemade pizza. There’s also a pool, laundry, and tables and chairs outside where you can study or relax during summer. The 6-bed female room had its own fridge and a locker for each person. The room was very clean, and they provided a towel and a blanket. I was lucky to share the room with very tidy girls during my first three days, so it stayed just as clean as when we arrived. The staff were also really nice and calm. Overall, considering the price and that it’s a backpacker hostel, it’s excellent — 10/10!

Il proprietario era molto gentile, rispose rapidamente ai miei messaggi prima e dopo l’iscrizione, e spesso mi ha fatto entrare durante il mio soggiorno per assicurarsi che tutto fosse a posto. Gli spazi comuni, come la cucina e il bagno, sono stati mantenuti molto puliti, quindi è stato confortevole anche per un soggiorno più lungo. Parte della proprietà è come una casa in comune, e gli altri ospiti erano anche molto amichevoli, mi salutavano e chattavano con me, che ha creato un'atmosfera molto calda. Si trova in una zona tranquilla, così potrei rilassarmi e dormire bene di notte. Questa era una delle mie vacanze preferite a Brisbane.

Il mio soggiorno non era molto buono! La struttura è convenientemente situata molto vicino alla spiaggia, rendendo facile godere del sole e del surf. Uno dei punti di vista è stato l’atmosfera amichevole tra gli ospiti, molti passati tempo dalla piscina, chattare e condividere le storie tra loro, e avere accesso alla cucina permetteva di preparare i propri pasti, aggiungendo al comfort del mio soggiorno. La signora Mary, la proprietaria, è incredibilmente accogliente e sempre pronta ad assistere con qualsiasi richiesta. La sua calda ospitezza ha reso la mia visita ancora più piacevole. Raccomando vivamente di prendere in considerazione Palms a Parmer per il prossimo viaggio. Se avete la possibilità, certamente ritornerò!

Ho avuto un buon soggiorno in questo motel. La stanza era pulita, comoda e ben mantenuta ‑, con tutto quello che mi serviva per poche notti lontano. Il personale era amichevole e ospitale, e il controllo ‑in era veloce e facile. La posizione era conveniente, rendendo semplice per andare al lavoro e esplorare la zona. In generale, era una piacevole e disturbata ‑esperienza gratuita. Mi sarebbe piaciuto rimanere qui di nuovo.

After a long day of driving, i arrived at the place because i just needing a place to sleep for the night. It’s basic, as expected, but at least it was clean. The room was small and plain, with just the essentials—a bed, a desk, with shared bathroom. It wasn’t particularly comfortable, and the amenities were minimal, but it served its purpose as a quick stopover. The staff was polite enough, and while it’s not somewhere we’d stay for more than one night, it worked for what we needed: a budget-friendly, no-frills place to rest before hitting the road again.
