諾瑪德飯店-前身為磁島基地飯店

I had booked weeks ahead of time, when I arrived in the afternoon, I was told I needed a passport to check in, my driver's licence wasn't good enough, I am an Australian citizen . I asked the manager to show me where it stated anywhere on their site that a passport was needed, well he couldn't. So then I had to try and find somewhere else 4pm in the afternoon. I will not be letting this slide either.

This place has a great potential but it’s terribly kept. Loud music all of the time in the common area (REALLY LOUD). I had to work and I couldn’t find a quiet spot in the whole hostel where I could work from. The Wi-Fi is terrible and in the room it’s even worse (and there’s no signal so I couldn’t even use data). The place is dirty. Staff at the reception is sweet and nice but you can really tell that there is no one who is really taking care of the business with care. The main purpose is to sell alcohol at nights to young backpackers to make profit and they don’t really care about other types of travellers. In the dorm it was freezing and I had no blanket, just a sheet. In addition two guys started fighting because they were probably drunk. The hostel is far away from literally everything. There’s no supermarket nearby (you have to walk 40mins) and the bus runs just a few times a day. Perks: it’s on a very nice beach, the huts are literally by the sea and the swimming pool is very nice too. Laundry service is easy to use (with card) and soap is included. Overall I didn’t like it and would never recommend it to a friend. Maybe I’m not their target.

El hostel es uno de los mejores en los que he estado, me encanto la ubicacion justo enfrente de la playa, la tienda mas cercana esta a unos 15 minutos caminando. Durante el dia es tranquilo y la comida calidad precio es de lo mejor. Las fiestas en la noche son wild! Todo el personal es agradable y muy atento. Sin dudarlo repetiremos en una próxima ocasión.

Es un hostel para gente joven, se lo montan muy bien con las fiestas cada noche asi que si lo que quieres es dormir ten en cuenta que el bar cierra a las 12 de la noche. La comida muy bien y lo que mas me gusto fueron last vistas y el amanecer

Great atmosphere at this beachfront hostel. Food is great and drinks are reasonable. Party atmosphere at night with games to get the crowd going. DJ has the place bouncing during and after the games. Easy and cheap bus access to ferry and local beauty spots. Car hire available from reception if you want to drive yourself around this island.

This hostel is beautiful with great bungalow dorms and amazing views. All the staff is really nice and helpful! Lily at reception helped us book a 3 Night Magnetic Island Escape Package, which made everything really easy. And Dave kept on it at the bar, helping us have a great getaway to Magnetic Island. Would definitely recommend to any travelers!!
