Nice Central Airlie Beach Location

Always a good place to stay when I visit Airlie Beach. My only complaint, the number of noisy garbage trucks that come to pick up commercial bins in the early morning.

Central location. No real dramas. The lady at reception today, needs to find some common courtesy and a little respect toward us the customer. Were all the same in life. No one is, better than anyone else. Without customers she wouldnt have a job. Even if she did own the place, which I doubt.

We loved our stay at the heart hotel. Firstly, we loved the location. Small walk to just about everything. Most tours pick up from behind the hotel. The staff were wonderful and kind (especially Dean). The only constructive feedback we have was in relation to the cleanliness - our room wasn’t properly cleaned (just a bed remake). This didn’t bother us too much though! Loved the stay thank you

Good location in Airlie beach

Heart hotel is a basic good hotel with a great location on the main shopping and restaurant street in Airlie beach. And just 1 minute from tve Lagoon. However, we had a room with balcony and sea view - good to mention that it is a big oarking inbeteen the hotel and the sea. 😎 Also the hotel was described as luxury in hotels.com - again, basic standard room according to me ( and I am definitely not used to luxury hotels over all) With that said I could although recommend the hotel.
Sea view from the balcony - but a lot of interesting things happened on the parking, I can tell🤪
