A huge thanks is in order to the friendly and caring hostel managers for helping us immensly when apollo/cheapa campa car rental company tried to screw us over. If it hadnt been for these guys we would have lost over 2000Au$!Our stay at globetrotters was really good too, nice room with tv and fridge and nice pool area. very quiet and private. we had a nice 4 night stay.

I stayed at the Globetrotters for 5 days, and was very pleased to see a hostel so tidy and well organized. The staff were excellent and helpful. I would recommend this hostel to couples, families and backpackers who need good facilities in a calm area. Shila (Denmark)

Nice cosy hostel within walking distance of the Esplanade and 'downtown'. The owners are quite helpful and the rooms are spacious. An excellent choice for long-term backpackers looking for peace and quiet at a low price.

The owners are wonderful...let me check in early so I could go to the reef shortly after arriving. The location is fabulous and safe. It felt like visiting friends and family. I would highly recommend.

A long string of problems -- the door lock was broken, the TV didn't work, no toilet paper in the bathroom for two days -- compounded by the fact that reception was NEVER open, and so we had no one to complain to. Avoid.   Read Owner Comments

The best hostel I have stayed in by quite a distance. We had a larger room than most hotels I have stayed at. Free interenet, free cable TV in the room and very quiet. Close to the main shops etc in Cairns but not too close that you get all the noise. Would definitely stay there if I go back to Cairns. Don\'t stay anywhere else but here.
