Really great. Clean rooms, friendly helpful staff (especially the travel agent), good location, lots of comfortable common space to hang out and meet people. Fun, free day trips as well. Definitely recommend it.

Absolutely amazing hostel. Clean, comfortable, free breakfast, free organized trips each day, great travel booking counter. And there were never more than 4 girls in my 6-bed female dorm room! In fact, I had the entire room to myself for 2 of the 6 days I stayed there. There is also a fridge in the room.

Excellent all around. Good location , close to all amenities. One of the best hostels I have stayed in. I was in a 6 bed female dorm ensuite which was spacious and had a fridge. Great, relaxed atmosphere. Would definately recommend and stay here again if I were in Cairns.

A brilliant hostel, the staff were brilliant! Carl the ents/bar manager persuaded me to do crazy stuff like bungy jumping, so glad he did! The free day trips run by the hostel were brilliant, and the free pancakes/BBQs at the weekend were great! The only bad point of my stay was two very rude girls in my room (15) who treated it like their home, noisy, inconsiderate etc, however the receptionist on duty on my last night did tell them off when they were disturbing those off us late at night :)

Very good location. Nice hostel, very helpful staff, I booked a couple of tours from there which was very convenient. Generally clean but some details could improve (like the fridge in the room that wasn´t cleaned for ages aparently). Cons: sharing a room with people that live there that although were nice you feel like you´re intruding in someone´s life. I would stay there again definitely
