Really nice rooms with comfy beds and duvets. Well stocked kitchens with lots of spaces to meet people. Helpful staff too! Only minor comments are that the reception hours are very restrictive but when I needed to chat to someone they picked up the phone right away. And you gave to pay a small amount for the air con which is also a good thing as it helps the environment a tad as people don't leave it on!

This is such a nice place to stay at if you’re looking for a quieter time and space. It’s got plenty of areas where you can go and just relax. I’ve been travelling for 7 weeks now and it’s hands down the cleanest hostel I’ve been in, it feels like a hotel on the cleanliness scale. On arrival there was a lovely worker who gave us a tour and was super friendly. The location is good as it’s pretty much a straight walk to get into the centre. I only stayed here 2 nights and 1 night I was leaving by 4am so I did

I came back twice because I loved it so much :) A dreamy set up, absolute ideal location next to Cairns Central and so so safe feeling as a solo female traveller. Young lady on reception is a gem. Kitchen and bathrooms always immaculate, and nice mix of solo travellers and couples. My sole critique is that there’s music playing all day, not a bad playlist but it did get annoying by the pool.

Travellers Oasis says

I'd say that what makes us special is that we pride ourselves on our attention to detail - it's not for nothing our manager won the Cairns Tourism Association's 2012 Award for Service Excellence! In fact, I think our customer service is second to none. Another unique feature is that we have extremely comfortable beds. There's no bunk beds, only single and loft beds. Plus, there's extra pillows in the double rooms and hammocks throughout the hostel gardens. We even have a swimming pool and sun deck! Cairns Central Shopping Centre is just across the road, while the Green Ant Cantina - a local favourite restaurant and bar - is around the corner. The Pro Dive school is only a three minute walk away - and of course you can't miss the Great Barrier Reef! Our hostel is ideally suited for all ages - the young and the young-at-heart.
