Everything!!! This was the most perfect hostel I've stayed in so far. Everything was wonderful from the staff to the kitchen. A proper home from home feel. Could have stayed so much longer.

Super cozy tropical vibes. Loved the pool. Tim was very nice and friendly. Housekeeping staff very lovely. Met some awesome people! Loved that there was a female only dorm. Felt very homey. Multiple kitchens, toilets and showers. Central location right near the CBD and easy walk to popular spots like the lagoon and esplanade. Cairns central shopping centre right opposite so very easy to buy groceries, a bite to eat or do some shopping.

having a swimming pool with beautiful palm trees in a hostel is really very appreciable. The common areas are very pleasant and allow you to meet great people!

This is the place to go if you want a calm, clean environment. In addition to helping me arrange the three trips, Peter also provided me advice on where to go, pointed me in the direction of the closest grocery store, and always paid attention to my enquiries. I called him as soon as I got there, and he assisted me with checking in as soon as possible. Fans, towels, and air conditioning are provided in the rooms. I had a wonderful overall experience and would most certainly go back.
Ideally located in the scenic and quieter area of the Esplanade- away from the noise of the clubs, bars and traffic- but only an easy 10 minute walk to the main attractions, the Pier and Cairns City...

location in middle cairns city, pub was adjacent so was well aware to expect some noise prior booking as the host mentioned it in their writeup, noise was minimal and we were facing the venue. Easy quick checkin and out. Beds comfortable and room was clean.

The pool was beautiful, the place was very clean and the room was very comfortable. The staff is very nice, and I love that they have free transport to the center, an excellent place to stay in Cairns!
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Best hostel in Cairns. Super social, nice events and cheap drinks at the bar. Location is in the heart of the city and you can literally walk everywhere in 5 minutes. Will definetly be back one day
In addition to the great location of the hostel, I really enjoyed the kitchen and common area on the top level. It's a great way to connect with people throughout the hostel. They do make sure that the hostel stays safe, asking all backpackers not to bring guests or people from outside.
This is a very nice hostel. The building has everything you need. They take great care for everyday cleanings. My dorm was mixed with bunk beds. There’s a safe under the bed for each person. Sheets were clean, and so the bathrooms.
This was the best hostel I’ve been so far. I stayed in the upstairs dorms which are very nice. With just 4/5 beds per room (not bunk beds for once). The building is not new but really nice with great vibes! Everybody was so chill…The common areas are great and the staff is awesome: thanks to Tim, Paul and Chelsea for what they do!
The breakfast was great, the hostel is extremely clean, i loved the common area, it’s so social I met lots of new people. The beds were extremely comfortable and everyone from staff is so nice and helpful. One of the best hostels I‘ve stayed in, also perfectly located, only 5-10 minute walk anywhere you wanna go. Really great hostel!!
Best hostel I stayed in Australia! Staff is great, super helpful and thoughtful!
The hostel is super clean and bedrooms comfortable. Stayed in a 3-bed dormitory and I felt like home. You can also feel that this place is so special that it creates a very calm ambiance amongst guests. There are different common areas/kitchens for each group of bedrooms.
The hostel is located just beside the bus station and a commercial center where there is a supermarket and some stores open until 10
Pm.
The cleanliness, it's cleaned at a 5star standard which I loved by karen, nothing was to much effort. I stayed for few weeks, made use of pool and great facilities. Very cheap stay for excellent quality. Highly recommended. It's next to major rd, but u don't hear noise. Close to shops & bus stop. Staff are amazing only to willing to help. Very much appreciated. If your on a budget this is definitely the place to stay. You won't be disappointed.
very Social place if you like to party, cheap drinks for hostel guests.
was pretty clean and even had a little workout room; pool area is very big and chill
great location next to Rusty’s Market
Kitchen has a terrace which looks across the esplanade, so nice to sit & cook up there. Each floor of rooms had a sofa area outside to chill which I’ve never seen in a hostel before & was great to have a space other than your bunk bed. Great location & cheap
As a backpacker, one of the best hostels I've been to, the hostel itself is very welcoming and the people very close. I've been here for a month and a half and I've felt at home. It is great that breakfast is included and the kitchen is very large and clean, there is no space problem as it usually happens in other hostels. There is a bar in the hostel and the drinks are cheap, they also hold events in the hostel and it allows you to meet a lot of people. Would repeat again without a doubt!!
