Never again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/12/11
Magnums on magnetic was a terrible experience, and I cannot think of one positive thing to say about this place... - we stayed in a 8 person dorm that had a mouldy rotten smell that was so strong and foul that I had to sleep with a perfumed wrap around my face just to get some sleep; and no it wasn't a fellow backpacker; - A Danish backpacker I spoke to has been traveling the world for 6 months and said it was the worst place she had stayed - even compared to SE Asia; - the room wasn't cleaned the whole time we were there, the bathroom was disgusting and someone had spilt dry noodles on the carpet that weren't removed for the 6 days; - management tried to charge us for an extra night because it was Easter and argued we had to pay because they weren't able to fill the room - really appalled with the poor management and trying to push problems of the down-turned economy and hurting tourism sector back onto customers. People who are actually spending tourism $$ should not be treated like that, especially when it was not an issue on booking! - In general the whole place is run down and tired, the pools are ordinary and you get the sense Magnums had its hey day in the late 80's and the owners have been flogging the place since then without putting any money back into keeping the place fresh. Take my advice, don't bother, you will be disappointed and wish you had stayed at X Base.

Could do better
By marina m, 10/26/05
This is now called Arkie's, the single's meat rack! ie shared dorm's of up to eight people both sexes, with very little room. Suggest six people to a dorm and more facility's. Need's more entertainment on the live level and a bit more imagination. Pool's okay, Food need's to be more variable with the backpacker's or people on a low budget need's. Bar staff need customer service skill's and to be taught how to smile. Negative asking is off putting and bar staff should stick to pricing drink's properly as out of four staff i was given four different price's for the same drink's. The music video's need upgrading to the 21st century, 80's music debateable. Cleaning staff rude and will confiscate whatever they wish, which is stealing in my book. Good location, not a bad vibe, could do better.
