Magnums Backpackers in Airlie Beach, Australia

Staff is very unfriendly, you have to pay for EVERYTHING, very strict with alcohol and the worst kitchen I've ever seen.. it's really small and very far. Good atmosphere & location tho! Natasha, from India ~ 4th Nov 2009

If you're going to Airlie Beach, Magnums is definitely the place to be! LINN-Renathe, from Norway ~ 12th Sep 2009

I read bad reviews before I booked but was cheap so stayed anyway -reviews were right -it was unclean, the kitchen is extremely small, the staff are unhelpful, rooms are dirty, and it is ridiculously noisy. But my main problem was the lack of security -anyone could walk in and out of the dorm -and believe me they do. I had random guy try and get into my bed in middle of night -complained and was told i should have stayed in a girls only room?! Would have been safer sleeping on pavement outside Louise, from Ireland ~ 26th Aug 2009

Noise level was ridiculous from early in the afternoon until 7am the following morning- loud music, smashing bottles, turning off the electric in other cabins. They should have been asked to leave when complaints were made early in the afternoon. Doesn't set a good reputation for the place Joanne, from Ireland ~ 4th Aug 2009

Sooo much quieter than Koalas! Its near enough to the bars but still quiet enough to sleep when you have to get up to o sailing in the morning. Daniella, from England ~ 29th Jul 2009

Everything ok but..the don't have a real kitchen!! "As many hostels we choose don't have a kitchen.." what does it mean? I never seen an hostel without a kitchen..I arrived in a small room (breakfast room) where hundreds of people fought for a fork..maybe because there is a restaurant of the same company?
