I was out a lot during my stay so can't properly comment on the "atmosphere", however it was pretty quiet and uninspiring during the day. The attached bar/nightclub is spacious and looks pretty good, with a very nice looking (if narrow) pool area. A bit too cold for that at this time of year.

Only minor issues: no shelf or similar in the shower to place soap etc and the shower door let water out into the bathroom. Otherwise a very good standard.

The hostel was/is undergoing renovations and some things are a little messy at the moment. I'd booked two separate single-night stays a few days apart from each other, and mistakenly did not choose an ensuite room for the first stay. I found that the bathroom was on the ground floor whilst the non-ensuite room was on the first floor - in general that would be unacceptable for me. Luckily I was able to change/upgrade to an ensuite room for the difference in room prices without any hassle.

Good head clearance for bunks and clean bedding. No locker in room (hence Average score for security). Location is an easy 10mins (or less) walk from Brisbane museums and galleries in South Bank, and very close to Roma Street train station (with direct connections to the airport) and transport interchange. Quite decent food in the attached pub/bar.

Excellent location, pretty much everything else is... lacking. The place is a basically a shed with some internal rooms. First night in my room the "air conditioner" and a fan were going (fairly noisy) but could hardly sleep from the heat. To the genius who puts an air conditioning unit inside a building, on an internal "wall" with an open grille just beneath it (back into the room), that just isn't going to work. Also, the power tripped several times, including at night with no staff to fix it.

Purpose-built accommodation. Unexpectedly high quality. Site incorporates what is apparently Cairns' largest nightlife venue with three separate performance areas.
