Seaside Lodge

Worst hostel I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in over 100 in 20 countries. Rooms don't have windows and are very stuffy and smelly damp/mouldy. No words for the kitchen other than insanely crowded and disgusting. There is an online booking system. We didn't see any staff during our stay because it is self check in which also means people don't follow the rules or quiet time. Everyone seemed to be living there long term and the rooms were so cluttered you could barely walk in. Don't stay there

Great stay. Good people and great location

Myself and my friend stayed in Seaside Lodge for a week and we found it to be a great place to get started in Townsville for regional work! It’s also a be a great place for a short stay! The staff are very friendly and helpful, Brendan helped us sort out our next booking.

Zum Glück waren wir hier nur eine Nacht, dafür war es okay, länger jedoch nicht. Wir hatten ein Einzelzimmer, dieses sah jedoch aus wie eine Gefängnis Zelle. Ein einzelnes Bett in einem zu großen raus, total ungemütlich. Das Fenster hätte man auch sein lassen können es führte in einen stinkenden Tunnel. Die Küche war okay, die Badezimmer auch inordnung. Es gibt fast nur Long Term Gäste, weshalb man als kurz Reisender schwer Anschluss findet. Für eine Nacht okay, aber nicht länger.

Very weird check in process, didn’t see any staff the whole time I was there. Very weird layout and hard to navigate when you’re not shown/told about the location of simple things like toilets. Bed was comfy, but my room clearly had people staying for extended periods as the floor was full of personal belongings and all areas of storage labelled for my bed were full of other people’s stuff. Wouldn’t stay here again as it had a super weird vibe.

Nicht empfehlenswert!!!!!!

Already wrote one on Google

I loved the female only area and the location close to the beach and coles right next to it! Also very clean hostel and very nice living room area and in general such good atmosphere, will come back thx

Great stay! Nice friendly people

Great place, the owner has done some renovations it is very nice

Alright just for a night

So noisy. All the noise enters the rooms. They said it’s not allowed to make noise but there is literally no staff to enforce it. No electricity near the bed. Only at the center of the room. The upper beds make unbearable noise so you can’t move even a bit. Not enough showers for so many guests. Reception is closed before 9am and after 4pm, and they also don’t work on the weekends so don’t expect to find them when you need. Nobody was there when I needed to check in and out.

The people were awesome! The owners seem lowkey rude, but no-one really lets that get in their way (which is good imo) Just all in all a nice home for many people, kinda rundown place tho....

I liked the privacy curtains on the beds. However, I found that there could have been more toilets and bathrooms. Overall good experience

Worst place I have been. Toilet and shower were dirty and the rooms were very messy (due to people who stay there for long). The rooms have ‘windows ‘ (it is an opening to the main hallway so you hear everything that happens on the hallway). Even though it is the cheapest option, please dont do this to yourself.

Le pire hostel dans lequel j’ai dormi en Australie. Il y a beaucoup de long-term, on a donc plus l’impression de louer un lit chez l’habitant-e (qui au passage croit qu’il/elle est seul-e dans la chambre quand il/elle se réveille pour aller travailler à 6h) que d’être dans une auberge de jeunesse. En plus rien n’est propre, et clairement il y n’y aucun espace inoccupé. Si vous pensez que faire une étape à Townsville avant d’aller sur Magnectic Island est une bonne idée, ...

Verwacht niet te veel. Bed was niet verschoond bij incheck. Kamer was alles behalve schoon. Bed was vreselijk. Alleen maar longtermers.

Top locatie in Townsville! De host is super behulpzaam en is snel via e-mail te bereiken. Het hostel wordt “overgenomen” door de longstays. De kamer zijn (daardoor) enorm rommelig en vies. Er wordt dagelijks schoongemaakt in de gedeelde ruimtes maar niet grondig. Pleister bijvoorbeeld liggen er drie dagen op de grond. Het is waar voor je geld, maar niet meer dan dat.

Don’t recommend! Stay away!

100% don't recommend. The bathrooms are pretty much public, anyone can go there. Therfore they're gross. The people that wa saying at the moment liked to party so there was a lot of noise until 3AM. The kitchen is dirty and packed with stuff. Rooms are not too far from that either. At least they refunded me half of what I had paid.
