Gilligan's Backpacker Hotel & Resort Cairns Reviews

Very good!!

MY FAVORITE hostel in Aus!!! Great staff, great bar, great overall expereince!!! if your going to cairns stay here!!!

There's many racists.

The staff in reception could have been more helpful and happier! It did not have a backpacker hostel feel but more of a young Ibiza lads holiday atmosphere. Our food was stolen from the kitchen (we weren't the only ones!) and the hostel staff did nothing, even when they had security cameras to be able to see who was doing it and chuck them out. The free evening meals were small and rubbish-the six nights we were there we had mince meat for 5 nights, chilli and savoury mince! Nice!

Really good hostel. There's nowhere else you would stay in Cairns. The rooms are tidy (perhaps a bit small and lacking in power sockets though). The free meal is really good and is cheap to upgrade too. Good party atmosphere but rooms are sufficiently sound proof if you want an early night every now and again. Kitchens on every floor was also a major positive.

huge hostel, with a kitchen on each level so its not the best place to meet people and hang out. as there is no general common area. Very good party place, but if you plan on sleeping it will be to the sound of thumping music. Staff were very nice. No toilets apart from those in bedrooms which can be annoying. Overall a great place to stay if you want to party at night and chill out by the pool during the day
