2-Star Hotels in Queensland, Australia

Always a great getaway place to go to. Very peaceful and stress free. Facilities are what you would expect from a country hotel and the newly completed bathrooms are a bonus. Unrestored and charming hotel with great artwork everywhere. Excellent meals in the evening and a very good diy breakfast provided in the dining room.

The staff are very friendly and helpful! However, it is inconvenient to stay here if you have a lot of luggage. You have to go down a flight of stairs to reach it. There is no elevator in the accommodation and you need to climb stairs. The staff was very nice and helped me open the staff entrance so that I didn't have to carry my luggage up and downstairs. The equipment is crude and old, but clean. The upper and lower bunks will be very noisy if they shake even a little, so it will be quite stressful when sleeping.

Good location Great amenities - free breakfast which was great and items were kept well stocked, music, pool, lounge area / terrace Showers could do with a bit of updating and bath mats would be helpful There were no hooks to hang anything from in our room which was really inconvenient

A newly renovated hostel runs by Little Drifter in Cairns CBD area. Everything is quite new and well maintained, except for the washing machines (quite a few are broken and still waiting to be fixed, only 2-3 machines are working, both laundry and drying cost $6 each time so that would be $12 in total if you wash and dry in one go). Yet big shout out to the staff there, they’re all very friendly, responsive and helpful, and that really makes a huge difference. The whole atmosphere in the hostel is really cozy and chill. I lived in a 8-bed dorm, everyone is really respectful and quiet, especially after 22:00 when the lights are off. Kitchen has everything you need so you don’t need to worry about anything. And for ladies who might need to blow dry your hair, you can borrow hairdryer at the reception by giving out your passports/driver licenses. Regarding location, it’s definitely prime, everything is within walking distance. Woolworths is just next door, Esplanade and Lagoon are just 5 mins walk away, Cairns Central just 10 mins walk away. It’s definitely a really good choice if you’re new to the city and would like to have easy and fast access to everything.

The owner was extremely kind, responded quickly to my messages before and after check-in, and often checked in with me during my stay to make sure everything was okay. The shared spaces such as the kitchen and bathroom were kept very clean, so it was comfortable even for a longer stay. Part of the property is like a share house, and the other guests were also very friendly, greeting me and chatting with me, which created a very warm atmosphere. It is located in a quiet residential area, so I could relax and sleep well at night. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe and friendly homestay experience in Brisbane. This was one of my favorite stays in Brisbane.

Room was nice and clean! About a 20/30 minute walk to the ferry terminal but bus stop was about 3 minute walk from hotel. Had a pool on the roof which was great, nice view too.

My most favourite place to take my children. Such a beautiful location, friendly staff, great pool with slides, stunning beach and walks. There is no where else like it.

Overall a good stay. Lucky enough to have only 2 person in a 8-bed female dormitory.
