I was very impressed with the warm and informative welcome tour around the hostel. Only complaints are that oddly there was no bin in the room and maybe more activities to help guests to get to know each other should they wish to do so More

Lovely homely hostel. No bunk beds which is FAB and the staff at the front desk are so friendly and helpful. Not a party hostel but it is only a 10 mins (max) walk to find a party. More

Nice staff, our room was like in a little flat with a living room and kitchen, which was really cool. A negative point is that there's only one shower and toilet for a lot of people. It's about 10-15 min from a mall with a supermarket inside and 20-25 min walk from the city center but More

Facilities are very good. The staff is great, very helpful. Hostel is clean and overall well kept. Rooms are spacious without bunk beds. A slight downside is that it is a bit of a walk from town but they do have a shuttle that takes 5 min and runs both ways 9 times a day. Another potential More

Great experience. My best ever backpacker's comparing ones in Brisbane, Bangkok, KL, HK... Fantastic location, beach view, esplanade...heaps of restaurants. 15 mins walking distance to the marine dock. The most grateful things are those lovely staffs- Hana, Arief etc. Thank you Caravella ! More

Nice hostel with good staff. It's a bit out of the way which was a bit annoying as it rained our whole time in Cairns so we got wet everytime we walked to town. Overall though, it's a very nice hostel. More

I had two stays at Gilligan's. The 1st one was alright, that's why I booked the 2nd one. Unfortunately the toilet flush was broken, but nobody felt responsible to handle it. The card reader at the entrance door was damaged. I was living in a more calm room of the hostel, but I think if you More

Facilities are fairly basic, but for the amount you pay per night you can't complain! The free meal at the Woolshed is great. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is excellent. More

Had a great time here and would definitely return, perhaps the reception could be open for longer but I personally had no trouble with the opening hours. More
