"Nice room, helpful staff and very clean. Unfortunately our room was above the pub with very loud music playing until late, meaning it wasn’t the most restful stay"
"First hotel I’ve stayed in that does not make your bed or change the towels top up toilet roll etc at all unless you go to ask at reception. For me this is a basic requirement of a hotel. The room felt damp for the entire stay. Noisey from wildlife through the night as bathroom window is mesh.
Would I stay again- NOT A CHANCE"
"Upon arrival it was alittle manic, our flight was a morning flight (11am) we knew we wouldn't be able to check in early but we didn't get checked in until nearly 2.30pm
Our room was nice but didn't release there would've be no amenities like shower cap, makeup pads ect ect but shampoo, conditioner, body/hand wash and moisturiser was and I must admit it was AMAZING and then we didn't have any milk for a coffee/tea which was a surprise
Bed was comfortable and bedroom was massive , loved that...
"We had a great stay at Magnums. It was an adventure finding our room through the jungle but were delighted with it. Clean basic functional and perfect location. Even though Airlie was so busy w annual Music Festival it didn’t seem to affect t the quality and cleanliness of the accommodation"
