Nice and friendly staff, cleanliness, great value for money

The staff and everyone staying at the hostel were very kind and helpful with great advice on what to do around Cairns. Jordy and Klaudia were truly the angels of our trip!

Ariel

United States of America

It was a great place for the money. Very clean and the dorms had a sink in the rooms that made it more convenient. Breakfast was just okay, but it was what we expected given we were at a hostel and the breakfast was included.

Vibe Clean Comfortable Free gym Free town shuttle Nice breakfast Very nice staff

Yoav

The location may be a bit away from the CBD, but that keep the location a bit more quiet. And there are shuttles provided to The Reef Fleet terminal and town center, which make it more convenient for backpackers and people who stay there. Breakfast is provides with various options, which are great. And the evening activities are fun and interesting and make people communicate and socialize with each other and share informations.

nice and clean, I stayed in two different mad monkey, this one is more comfortable and quite and nice, but just a but far from the down town, especially in hot weather, the other one is not at good at this one, but closer to everything.

Simple but ok breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere dominated by young folks.

Linn

United States of America

It's a decent price for Cairns hostels, the pool was very nice and they clean it daily from what I saw. The beds were very comfortable. They also have a tour desk in the main area for anyone that is interested in booking something you don't have to go far. The hostel is about 10 to 15 minutes walk into town for anything you need to do, or they also have a free shuttle service if you don't like walking.

“Comfortable enough at a bargain price.”

Food goes into a shared fridge. You have to put your food in a refridgerated bag or a plastic woolworths bag. Well I didn't have either one of these bags so I lost all of my KFC and Chinese take-away. Staff just throw it out. Expensive to lose when on a budget. They should have spare bags to give you. Didn't want to walk miles to woolworths just to get the right bag.
For the price it is perfect. Cannot complain. The shared bathrooms were kept clean.

Didn’t realise how far out it was of the city centre so bare that in mind when you’re booking and said had parking but in reality had to park 5 minutes round the corner. What was annoying when needed to get stuff out the car.
Very clean, room was upgraded and the breakfast was spot on!

No complaints here.
My room was private with it's own bathroom which was really clean and modern. I was surprised with the price $47 for privacy. Super cheap and affordable. This accommodation was SOOOO good for the price, I will stay here again instead of paying out dollars for more expensive motels. You can cook your own food there too and there's a swimming pool and an outside dining room.

Other than the dining area and your bedroom, there wasn't really anywhere to hang out with anyone or relax. If you wanted to sit down with a book or listen to music, you'd have to go back to your room and sit on your bed since there was no social area.
Staff were really helpful and friendly, the bathrooms and bedrooms were extremely clean and the beds were really comfortable. Wi-fi was strong everywhere too
