Great place
The hostel and services are very well organized, the staff is very friendly, it is a big hostel and therefore many people uses the premises and sometimes there are issues, overall it is a good place to stay if you want to save a lot of money while in Cairns

I've only stayed 2 nights but so far the staff has been friendly and helpful. Beds are comfortable and the bath is clean. Free service transportation. It wasn't loud and not quiet, perfect if you want a good night's sleep but also want to socialize.

I was overcharged by $124 and refunded $119.80. The bed was hard and showers were cold. I booked a dorm room for 27 a nigjt on Wotif but because of my age being 53, i had to pay 140 a night for a single room that looked like a prison cell. The tables to eat and drink at were never cleaned by staff, the kitchen was dirty and grounds were unkept. The pool was dirty, you wouldnt swim in it. The staff were more concerned about themselves than the customers, eating in front of them, talking with each other while people were waiting to be served. Terrible and i would not recommend it at all.

Good place to stay
Lovely swimming pool and bar, room was clean, big kitchen but no cutlery or plates - you had to hire them. As I was only there one night and had a teaspoon with me I had to eat my food out of the pot !!! Very large and busy but very friendly place

You get what you pay for! I was in a room with 3 other girls. Beds were alright but when I went to the bathroom, I saw a massive cockroach run out. It’s not super clean but manageable. I was only there for one night and booked it because of how close it was to the airport. When I was checking out in the morning, no one was at the desk and I had to wait around 5-10 mins for someone to show up. Overall, I’d give this place a 2.5 star!
