Travellers Hideaway 32 Picnic Street, Picnic Bay, Magnetic Island Tel (07) 4778 5314 or 1800 000 290 Website www.travellersbackpackers.com BUG review This hostel has three to four-bed dormitories and a nice swimming pool, but the dorms are very basic and some are quite stuffy. The bathrooms need a renovation and the kitchen is a mess - the whole place just seems a bit tired. Other facilities include internet access, a barbecue, hammocks, a TV lounge and a laundry with old washing machines. It is in Picnic Bay, which is an inconvenient location, now that the ferry arrives at Nelly Bay.

beada   New Zealand   6 reviews       Needs updating 12 July 2008 Pros: Not too far from the beach Cons: Needs renovating      beada saw things this way Maintenance    (2) Cleanliness    (2) Facilities    (3) Atmosphere    (3) (Review ID: 8576) Not a great hostel, really needs updating so pretty basic, and not particularly clean. However seemed to attract nice guests so has a friendly atmosphere.   11 of 19 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?                   neilusborne   England   4 reviews       Awful place, nothing like the website or leaflets suggested. Don't go there. 14 March 2008 Pros: Getting out Cons: Cockroaches, dirty kitchen, prison cell rooms, not near ANYTHING      neilusborne saw things this way Maintenance    (1) Cleanliness    (1) Facilities    (2) Atmosphere    (1) (Review ID: 7961) This hostel was the worst place we've stayed, it was grubby and horrible, made me feel dirty. The bathrooms had cockroaches and other bugs, out of 3 showers, only one had a lock. The kitchen was disgusting, the tv room was worn out and nothing was like the website advertised. It says it is near shops, bars, cafes etc but it isnt, there is one or two things on the beach but i wouldn't bother staying here if i was you. go to BASE or magnums, you'll have a much better time   9 of 19 people found this review helpful Was this review helpful to you?
