Real nice and friendly staff. Good kitchen and chill area. Not far from the centre of Cairns. Good times

Beware this hostel will over charge you for your stay... Do not pay for your room with your home country currency on your credit card because Calypso will charge you more than the post currency exchange rate, more like 10 cents per dollar.   Read Owner Comments

Great hostel! The staff are really helpful and sorted out all our trips for us. Food in the bar was good and quite cheap for breakfast. Its about a 10 - 15 minute walk to town but if you don't want to walk they have a regular shuttle bus. Would definately stay here again.

This is a cool hostel. Airport pick-up and free transport in and out of city centre is really useful! Fun hostel, but not over-the-top.

For those of you who like to have a holiday full of party this is absolutely the right place. But if youŽd like to rest after a day of adventouros trips you should not stay here. It is really loud there because the bar is just in the middle of all the rooms. It is loud in the evening and it starts to get loud in the morning at 6 as well. The room is ok, but not that good. The location is a little far from the city but there is a bus and you can walk too. All in all ok for one night.

really fun hostel, nice bar/food downstairs. at least a 20 minute walk from the main area of cairns, or you can take their shuttle. clean but bare room, bathrooms not too close and only one sink for like 10 rooms... overall definitely worth the price though
