Vicki at the check in was very helpful and friendly. I loved the fact that I could bring my little dog, that was a big plus. I would stay at the Jadran Motel again, thank you.

    The staff is very friendly and they organise games and bbqs then is very easy to meet new people. Rooms have private bathroom and a/c. They have free basic breakfast and cheap bar in the evenings. They also have apartments if you need more privacy. The hostel is next to the tram station, in front of a coles express 24/7 and very close to domino pizza. There is free parking onsite and also you can park in the streets around.

    Was a really good location - close to the beach, shopping centres, tram stop and convention centre. The motel was really clean and the beds were comfortable. Felt like just at home and not actually in a motel room.

    close to airport, friendly staff, walks to beach and restaurants close by. I love the convenience of staying at Gold Coast Airport Motel and to being able to leave my car there (at an extra cost on days I'm away). No long drives and rush for early morning flights. And can enjoy a drink and not worry about having to get car out of airport and the traffic on way home. can just wander across the road and get my car the next day for a relaxing trip home. Makes the whole trip stress free.

    We've stayed at this motel previously and came back as we liked it last time. Everything is really well cleaned and maintained. The rooms and beds are comfortable and surprisingly quiet. We didn't actually speak to any staff this time around as we checked in late and out early, but they made sure we had keys and instructions to access them easily. The free parking on site is a major plus.

    Me and my family had the best stay ever!! We even had an upgrade and a free bottle of wine on arrival, we also got to check in early which was such a life saver as we were travelling from Newcastle and had been on the road all day. Thank you so much sea world for the best experience ever, we definitely recommend staying here!!
