Hostels in Cairns

As a solo older female traveler with little experience staying at hostels, I have to say that I felt this one to be exceptional. The staff was friendly &helpful. The bathrooms & kitchens were clean, although I must say that I did not have the opportunity to use any of the kitchen facilities as I was out most of the time. I had my own single room with shared bath, but in my case, the bathroom was right near my room & I did not have a problem usingthe restroom a couple of times during the night. There were adequate toilet facilities & showers for the number of guests. My room happened to have it's own small refrigerator which I much appreciated as I was able to store bottles of water without having to write my name on them &find a place in the kitchen refrigerator. The room had an overhead fan. Not sure if it had an air conditioner, but I did not need one. The weather was mild during my stay. I can't say what it would be like during the rainier, wetter part of the year because I do not know if space heaters are provided or allowed. The bed was comfortable enough. The sheets were clean. Only one comforter cover was provided, which was fine for when I was there. There was a lockable safe under the bed to store valuables & pegs on the wall to hang clothes. There were washers &dryers; drying racks &drying lines. I did use the washer & dryer. They were about $5 each per load. There are several covered eating &lounging areas &a small pool to float in. The other travelers that I met briefly seemed nice enough. Everyone was very polite. Quiet hours start at 10 PM which I greatly appreciated. There is a grocery store nearby. It is about a mile walk to the Reef Terminal & the sites to see in downtown Cairns. I had one heavy bag & my room was upstairs. One of the staff helped me up with it which was very kind.

The place is very nice and relaxed and a good value. Nice having free parking out front. Peter was very helpful with tips and he booked us a great trip to the barrier reef for snorkeling. Good facilities and clean.

The staff was really nice and the common areas were clean and well taken care of. Location was ideal for all the things I had planned on doing and the environment was perfect to both relax and make some friends.

Really nice spot! I stayed in one of the private rooms and it was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. The hostel is about a 15-20 minute walk from the esplanade, with a few restaurants and bars even closer. It was quiet and a nice spot to base myself for diving and exploring the Cairns area.

The staff was really friendly and helpful

The location is the best, the decoration and the common areas are amazing, is a beautiful and really comfortable hostel

I had a very comfortable stay here and would happily recommend it. - Great location close to the beach, with nice cafés and restaurants nearby. - Two large kitchens that are slightly separated, making it easy to cook without crowding. - Stayed in a 4-bed female dorm located in a separate building — the room had its own air-conditioning (individually controlled) and a fridge, which was very convenient. - Spacious garden with plenty of tables where groups can gather, even set up a BBQ party. I saw a stroller outside, so it seems suitable for families as well. - Clean facilities, towels provided, stable Wi-Fi, and hot showers — overall very comfortable.

Friendly staff, nice pool and bar area.

When I made it for check in I got earplugs from reception. Near bus station. Fine for 1 night when you get up early the next day.

Super friendly staff and good location!
