Stayed here for 3 nights while I was in Townsville. Had a single room to myself which was clean but modest. The staff were super nice and very helpful when I needed them, and I had no problems with the rooms or the locals or anything. The building is a little old but there's nothing wrong with them. The bed... More

It all started with unfriendly English girl at reception. Our room was like a prison cell with very interesting decoration on the wall, mannequin. Do not even try to find something in the kitchen, there is nothing at all !!! But the worst thing happened to us next morning, when we found a big bed bug on the bed. Avoid... More

1. Prison like rooms with old bunk beds and thin dirty mattresses. 2. Dirty communal toilets and showers. 3. No pots, pans or utensils in the kitchen. You need to pay to hire them at reception as people steal them!!! 4. Full of long term travellers who use and abuse the place and the staff. 5. Loud music all night... More

Without question the strangest place I have ever stayed in over 3 years travelling. We were left in Townsville unexpectedly due to a cyclone causing road closures so made our way over to Adventurers. The place is basically 2 floors in a motel style setting. It looks more like a prison block than a hostel or motel though, it is... More

At first glance it looks like a prison with no attraction... The room was fine and had been cleaned but that's where anything good stopped!!! The hostel is just full of drunken louts who have zero respect for anyone else!! The owners notice of zero tolerance was a joke as nothing was done when issues where raised! The reception never...

The owners of this 'establishment' were both rude and unhelpful during my three day stay at Adventurers. Their pet hen ruled the property including the very basic kitchen and woe betide anyone who suggested that live poultry and cooking areas do not mix well. The rooms were sparten, the floor dusty, thin and worn linen was used on the beds... More

Taken from my website http://thelittlebackpacker.wordpress.com I booked this hostel purely from the review in the Lonely Planet guidebook; I have booked several other hostels this way and never had a problem. However this hostel really didn’t live up to the review. As described it was an ex motel complex but I never imagined it to feel so prison like with... More

I have stayed in a few hostels over the years, but this place rates as one of the worst. Look, I found the staff bright & friendly, this was the only positive. So that got the one point rating. The rooms were spartan to say the least, worn & tired beds, concrete floors, no fridge in our room, just a... More

I stayed here for one night after another accommodation messed up a booking. It was an overall horrible experience. I had a double room - which staff described as the best rooms........AWFUL!!!!! Sparse, just a bed, tiny dirty fridge and a rack to hang something (it was $30 at a discount furniture chain...the price sticker was still on this 'rack'... More
