I didn’t stay at the night of reservation. It’s because even though I made 4 people reservation in 4 people dorm, the Jack backpacker tried to put us in separate rooms at the time of arrival. They should have let us know the situation before our arrival. We had to spend the night over at the Cairns airport before departure.

Room was clean enough. The shared bathroom was always dirty, no matter what time I used it. The room was always to warm, and there was no remote to the aircon. Shared bathroom was BOILING as there is no fans or aircon there. No elevator. Good location, close to coty centre. Had the same lady at check in twice, very friendly and helpful. Free luggage storage is good. Minus points for no access to cold water, and you have to pay to borrow a towel.
