The hostel has a great vibe! The staff are great. A special shoutout to Dan who went above and beyond to fix my booking when I made a mistake!

Jacqueline

The fact that the staff tend to all your needs as best & as soon as they can, and that the kitchen is open 24/7, which is a great help when arriving late at night.

“Breakfast included” should state only white bread and butter. No yogurt, Jan, boiled eggs or lunch meat. Instant coffee only. Could use protein at breakfast and at least drip coffees.

Sarah

Amazing hostel with good atmosphere! Everything is organized, the staff is nice and professional. The toilets, showers and kitchen are always very clean. Dorms are very comfortable. The free breakfast is delicious with different options and having access to the local gymnasium gives extra stars!

Super clean and refurbished room. Super nice people.

Location is great - not right in the craziness of town but close enough to walk. Even if you don’t want to walk they provide a free shuttle bus to the city centre! Incredibly clean facilities, I think I saw them clean bathrooms twice a day as well as daily clean in the rooms. Staff was super helpful whenever I had questions about my stay or future travels!! I’ll be back for sure next time I’m in cairns :)

Hallie

The staff here is amazing, within seconds of walking in I felt welcome and like I was in my own home. The manager Lauren, went out of her way on multiple occasions to accommodate me, and all the people working the desk and breakfast were great to have a chat or give a recommendation. The beds were the most comfortable I've experienced in a hostel. The place has a great family feel and is quiet enough to get a good nights sleep but close enough to the action that you're never far from a party. The wifi is also super solid, works throughout the hostel, and is totally free. Any one of these factors would make this place worth staying in, but the combination of them makes this place the best in Cairns. I would highly recommend staying here.

I had to change rooms at first cause you couldn't open the window so make sure that you are in a room with a proper window so there's a good ventilation. A good idea would be to put a vent in case you can"t open the window.
I came with my friend and loved staying in here! We made a lot of friends from different countries and I can say that the ambiance was the best thing of the hostel, people would smile and say hello at you even if they didn"t know you. The staff was very helpful and easy-going, like @Jess. The breakfast was also amazing!

Someone pooped in the showers and smeared it all over the bathroom... not very nice but not the hostels fault, also quite noisy at night we had a private room but people were screaming and throwing things in the corridor outside our room... breakfast was very busy and not enough cups/plates for everyone.
The room was nice and clean! Not too far away from cairns central, nice with washers/dryers in the building! Friendly staff!

The bar is the common area,so it's not an ideal place to stay if you want to do some job. Noisy until past eleven.
Great value and pancakes included for breakfast. Not far from downtown. The rooms were clean and comfy.

No locker in the room. Quality of guests. Kitchen was horrible specially dinner time. Always too dirty... And they close pool side after 10pm, so there is no place to chill out. Tables are occupied by many people.
Gym for free. Good breakfast. Good location. Good bed with outlet. Enough bath rooms.
