Paid a premium price for a view of the side of a building and car park. Parking should be complimentary or at least an affordable price. Room was very clean and tidy, daily room service was appreciated. Repeat customer but won’t choose to stay there again, value for money poor.

For the price, it’s not worth it. It’s okay, but the outside noise is very noisy. Bathroom is so small. And there is a Lack of bathroom amenities for the price. The car park is an additional $25.00 per night and entry to the carpark is very low. Location is great, but there are definitely better hotels with the same great location for that price.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We had a mixed experience at The Island Gold Coast. The first impressions weren’t great. Whilst the reception area was clean and the receptionist very smart and helpful, the decor was tired and outdated. The exterior looked more like a shabby 2-star. After a swift check-in we took the lift to our floor. The lift was disgusting - the doors were scratched and dirty, as was the interior of the lift, and the floor was damaged and dirty. At our floor the corridor was unpleasant with old single glazed windows and glue-down carpet tiles. The hotel room was also a mix - the bed was comfortable and the bedding clean. Some of the furniture was modern and there were good toiletries and coffee/tea provided. However, the carpet tiles again looked and felt unclean, the shower handle was broken, the fridge appeared to be very old, the balcony doors were loose and let outside noise into the room. Overall, we didn’t enjoy our stay here. We thought it was very over-priced and overrated.
