Very nice, clean and centrally located hostel. Nice space for each person with secure lockers. Appreciated the 24 hour reception and key card guarded entry. Met some very nice people here all over the world!! Would definitely stay here again or recommend it to a friend.

Great spot. Breakfast is simple but filling and hostel is quiet after hours for those who need to sleep. Plugs in the lockers is a nice feature and helped me feel secure while charging my phone, laptop, etc. All in all, got to be the top of your list when staying in Cairns.

The rooms are simply the best rooms I have ever seen in a hostel. You get so much space, a fridge in every room and fully airconditioned rooms with a nice bathroom. The TV room was a bit poor, since the TV was really old and the picture quality followed. But free pool is a great facility combined with a nice deep pool!

Great value for a super clean and convenient hostel. Wish there was WiFi in the rooms, or at least available in an air conditioned area, but oh well. The pool was amazing, and so was having free breakfast. Great hostel!

For a hostel that is rated best in northern qld, this hostel was not at all up to our expecations. It was quite dirty; footprints on walls and ceilings and extremely dirty around door handles. Kitchen utensils were filthy and needed washing before use. Towels were not for free. There was no bar, despite advertisements about happy hours. One of the beds was directly in front of the air-conditioner and couldnt be slept in because it was so cold.

The best hostel I have stayed at throughout my entire visit of the East Coast! I absolutely loved it here. The dorm room was very spacious, incredibly clean, great AC, and a nice ensuite washroom. Staff was friendly, helpful, & approachable. Very secure with lockers in the dorm room & rolling buggies under the beds for your bags! I would not stay ANYWHERE else in Cairns! Thank you so much!
