Roof top bar was very loud!
Reception staff did their best offering ear plugs and to move room. No sure moving would have helped… Should be aware if booking the bar is a popular spot.
Also disappointed the pool was closed for construction but we didn’t get any warning when booking. Otherwise good location and friendly staff.

Great rooms for a great price. Central to everything.
Lifts take a very long time and are quite run down as is the rest of the lobby - however the rooms are nice.
Being central to everything is great, however it also means it's quite noisy and loud. Wouldn't recommend for a family but okay for a couple or friends attending something nearby.

Very nice room and Tia at reception was phenomenal! We arrived after exhausted and later than planned after hiking Lamington and were warmly received. Parking was tricky because our vehicle was oversized but she was very helpful (we ended up parking on the street for
free and paid for a couple of hours the following morning via the city app). Didn’t use the pool or hot tub, tbh the pool looked dirty but could have been from the recent rain from the cyclone in the north.

Very little sleep due to nightclub 5 floors below our room. music was way too loud. We wanted a relaxing break and came back more tired than when we arrived. Level of noise was unacceptable and incompatible with having rooms where people need to sleep.

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.

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 Whilst the reception area was clean and the receptionist very smart and helpful, the decor was tired and outdated.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.

Great location and the bar and restaurant were good.
Room was in poor condition. Had to get serviceman to room to stop toilet running, sink did not drain, plug didn't work and the flashing light on the security card holder was annoying, so had to cover up with towel each night.
Main concern was the lip/step as you enter the bathroom. This is a hazard. My wife and daughter both kicked their toes against the step, with my daughter in tears and toe went purple from bruising. Fortunately nothing broken.
We had to roll up a towel and place it against the step to prevent any further issues.

Exceeded all expectations

The Island exceeded all my expectations. The room was super big, was surprised to see it had a large balcony with chairs to hang out, free water bottles and chips each day. Location was near all the action but about a block away so quieter. And had a nice pool, restaurant, and lounge with billiards. Loved the stay.

Our twin suit was great! Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. The hot tub was chilly and when I spoke to the front desk the manager said it was in fine working order so perhaps we were mistaken. Our vehicle did not fit in the parking but the parking garage around the corner was great and cheaper. Overall great room but pool and hot tub require maintenance.

Completely inflexible

Booked on a Monday for a work trip Thursday that week, plans got changed on Tuesday so rang to see if I could push the booking by a week and they said no because it wasn't within the 7 day cancellation period despite only booking less than 24 hours earlier. Kept entire amount of money paid, not just a percentage. Money gone from my small business who had to change plans, would not recommend after this.

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 :)
