Lock in a great price for Cairns Central YHA – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

The 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.

Alexander, United States of America

The 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.

Resa10984, United States of America

This 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.

Heidi, United States of America

Stuffs 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

Location is central and next to the Train Station.
