I think the property have done a good job at a fit out of a very old iconic building. It would appeal to a younger audience than us. I still found it a bit grungy for my liking with drunk people everywhere and 4x cans in the lobby near the lifts etc. In saying that when we got into the room it was lovely. Bathroom needed a deep clean it was a bit grubby but we appreciated some nice generous touches like snacks and plenty of milk and good quality body wash etc. Bed was comfortable and even though we were right in Surfers Paradise it was not too noisy. Appreciated the upgrade too. No doubt they thought us oldies needed to be kept out of the way :)

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.

Loved staying here, there were free snacks and also very close walking distance to surfers paradise and the beach. They even provided free beach towels! Great hotel and reception was super nice too. We wanted to extend our stay but unfortunately there were already no rooms available.

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.
