Agnes Palms Accommodation

STAYED OVERNIGHT ON WAY TO TOWNSVILLE. Great room good sleep. Good vibes. Generous free additions like orange juice milk coffee. Spreads and bread for toast. At such a bargain price. Lovely and clean. Will def come back!

I don’t really know how to put that bad experience into words, so here are the main points: - a dog was in our room during the and also pooed and peed in there (I’m allergic to dogs) - the staff is weird and didn’t react to pur request to turn of the AC though everybody in the room asked for it - there’s no atmosphere at all on the place (the two other backpackers are DOPE + they have a shuttle that brings you to the bus station) - mattresses are laid through - ants all over the bathroom

I've never written a review before, but I feel obliged to write one now. I was pleasantly surprised by the hostel and what was offered. There was everything you needed in the kitchen, the pool table and the surfboard hire were a great addition (surfboard hire was so cheap!). The owner lighting candles at all the dinner tables gave a homely vibe, and we thought the whole place was a cool vibe. Greg, the owner, was very welcoming and enthusiastic, providing us with a map and his knowledge of Agnes Waters and 1770. However, our stay was negatively impacted by a long-term guest who also works at the front reception. We found that she was very intrusive and quite blunt and rude in our conversations. We felt very uncomfortable at times. Overall, it was a great stay, Greg and the cool vibe of the hostel outweighed our experience with the other worker. We definitely plan on coming back :))
