Property condition and facilities: Bed and pillow were clean and comfortable. Place was clean except the bathroom sink was not working properly, drainage problem i suppose. There was a very small fridge, no ironing facility but upon asking for one, staff provided us with the clothes steamer. Overall sink wad the biggest problem, everything was do able.

We initially were staying in a Deluxe King room, which was neat, tidy, cozy, and clean. The Island gave directions for parking (across tram railway and in the side alley) and reception was easy to find, and service was very friendly and professional. There was a technical issue with the toilet in this room, which can happen anywhere at any time, and after speaking with reception, we were upgraded to the King Suite room free of charge (that's really great service, they could have easily put us in a room of the same time, but upgraded us instead for the inconvenience). The King Suite was spacious, clean, modern, and a bigger version of the Deluxe King room, with a complete kitchennette, bathroom etc, and we had the views we were hoping to get. All round, we had a fantastic stay, and they even let us leave the car in the carpark a little bit longer after check out so we could go do some shopping and get some food before coming back home, which another hotel would not allow us to do without charging us $30, so it was really nice and very professional for The Island to do this for us. All round, we rate this above anything else we have stayed at so far. Cheap prices, amazing rooms, amazing service, safe area, nice facilities...all round, a gem in the heart of Surfers. We will absolutely be staying here again, 10/10. Thank you to the amazing staff who work here who helped make this place even more awesome, you rock!

The room was clean and looked pretty much like the photos online which was a pleasant surprise. Would only recommend a lick of paint on the outside to match the updated interior. Definitely stay here again due to the quality and price point.

*Disappointing Stay – Poor Service and Hygiene Issues** I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was one of the most unpleasant experiences I’ve ever had. On the first night, I discovered a lizard in the bathroom. When I called the receptionist at 12 am for assistance, I was met with an unprofessional and unhelpful response. Instead of addressing the issue, he casually told me to take the lizard and throw it out of the balcony myself, offering no apology and claiming there was nothing he could do at that time. After a sleepless night, I complained the next morning and requested to be moved to another room, which the morning receptionist agreed to. However, the new room wasn’t much better – there were ants on the table for the entire week, and the issue was never addressed despite bringing it to their attention. The lack of cleanliness and the dismissive attitude of the staff ruined what should have been a relaxing holiday. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable and hygienic stay.
