Confort accommodation with awesome stuff

They gave us a room immediately even we arrived there early morning. At that moment we were exhausted, so it was very pleasant.

The staff were all super friendly. They are doing an excellent job. The beds are all really comfortable. Its never too busy. The obly thing that was dirty was the kitchen, so even when the workers had cleaned it. It was a state. It just draws in so many flies! I think they maybe could do with perhap upgrading the kitchen

I'm 57 and it was my first time in a backpackers

Room 5: The bathroom exhaust fan did not work and when someone upstairs showered, water dripped through the edge of the exhaust fan on the ceiling. It looks like this has been happening for ages as the ceiling was mouldy and water-damaged there. Wifi did not work in my room. Otherwise the hostel was fine and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Will return

Started well with the prompt airport pick-up. Check in good. I had a 4 bed dorm to myself :) probably because they took pity on an old guy. Appreciated by me though. The WIFI did not work all the time so I ended up using my own USB WIFI. Not much around the area so just walked the streets. Will return next week for a longer stay, and will do more then. I will update the WIFI situation in my next review.

Cairns stay

Having a free shuttle to town really helped. You can walk there, but it's a long way to carry groceries. I also loved the free shuttle to the airport and to early morning boat tours. The staff was helpful and the vibe was cool. Also, the pool was nice.

Friendly and fun hostel

This hostel goes out of their way to provide activities for backpackers. I enjoyed reptile night very much. The staff is accommodating and kind. There was some deferred maintenance that should be taken care of. The curtain rod was falling apart, the sink faucet was wobbly, etc. However the showers had great pressure and lots of hot water! Overall a good value for the price

May 2017.

I stayed here alone for a few nights and then a few friends came and joined me. The hostel is clean and tidy the majority of the time. The kitchen facilities could be updated as there are only 8 hobs to cook on and only half of them work which can be an issue when everyone is trying to cook dinner at once. It's good that you can BYO alcohol, as a lot of hostels don't allow this in Oz.

Typical hostel- loud, noisy, not very clean

We stayed one night here when we arrived in Cairns in the evening. It was fine for a one nights stay. The hotel shuttle arrived almost 1 hour after being confirmed, but was warned of that when we called for it (they said about 30-40 minutes). The hostel is just as you would imagine- very loud with heaps of backpackers. The staff was friendly, helpful though, so kudos to them. The place itself was not very clean and a bit run down, but again what you could expect from a hostel? By no stretches of imagination could this place be referred to as resort though. We stayed in a private room so we were able to get a bit away from the commotion of beer pong and drinking games. In conclusion, I can't really fault the place for anything. But definitely understand that this certainly a party hostel and nothing more or less.

Good value for money

Early check in 7am was a very big plus, thank you. $20 deposit refundable but you have to remember when you check out cause they will not remind you (I almost forgot). Gave me room 5 (private) ,view from the window was a closed area between rooms (not good). Ac ,minibar ,bed and bathroom were very good. Room does have some small ants. Cockroach inside room, asked for insecticide and got it. The bus to airport and greyhound 5 times/day (picture available for the times). Location is ok about 15 -20 minutes walk to most of the things, they do offer a free shuttle bus to town (picture available for the times). Book the Cape tribute tour through the hotel ( excellent ). Late check out wasn't allowed 10am( most hotels in Australia are the same ) , and I have been asked to bring the bed sheets and pillow cases. 20 cents for printing/paper. Free Luggage storage. Small pool. Airport transfer was free took the last available bus 4:55pm arrived 5:20 Most, if not all, of the hotels i stayed in in Australia, New Zealand, Cook Islands check in 2pm check out 10am . Staff good, but please remember that you can smile. Was there for 3 nights from May 31st to June 2nd.
