Great staff & facilities (other than the kitchen, but I’m picky about kitchens)
United States of Americagreat pool area and ideal location. Staff were very helpful. Great to have Cairns Central right across the road. The hostel was very clean an in like the many person cubby holes to store food in.
AustraliaLocation was good, as it was close to the places we needed to be. It was very clean and the staff were great.
United States of AmericaEverything about the place. Simply the best hostel in Cairns.
United KingdomThe staff is very helpful and friendly. I rented a private double room and found it excellent for a hostel. The room was very clean with nice bedding. It’s bare bones so you know it’s a hostel, but I think a great room along hostel standards. Fun neighborhood too.
United States of AmericaThe hostel is in central Cairns but just on the outskirts so it wasn’t too noisy at night. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean enough.
United States of AmericaThis is my first time staying in a hostel as I normally stay in 4-5 star hotels. I thought I’d give it a try and Cairns Central YHA more than exceeded my expectations. The facilities were very clean and the staff overall were friendly and helpful.
United States of AmericaStuffs were so kind and really friendly so easy to ask something and I was able to spend two days in a good mood Besides the other customs also so nice we can make friends
JapanNice location, staff is generally very nice and very helpful, nice facilities, kept very clean. It’s not loud at night and the dorms are nice. Nice kitchen with plenty of space to store your groceries in fridges and cabinets. It was a nice kitchen to cook in.
NetherlandsOur second stay (in the same week) and everything was just as stellar as our earlier review - great place, very clean, excellent location and great facilities. Very friendly staff and $5 parking off the street in a secure facility. Ticked all of our boxes.
