    The hostel is conveniently located in front of a big shopping center, providing easy access to shopping and dining options. It is also situated in the center of the city, making it convenient to reach most activities around the city. the hostel offers clean rooms with a fridge, allowing guests to store their belongings and have a comfortable stay.

    The common areas, such as the stairs and corridors leading to the dorms, were reported to be dirty and untidy.

    I had a wonderful stay at a hostel in Cairns. They even loaned me an extension lead when my adaptor didn't work. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the shopping complex, train station, and bus station. I also appreciated the handy sinks in the laundry area for hand-washing. I highly recommend this hostel for its comfort, safety, cleanliness, and efficiency.

    The hostel had a no-nonsense setup that catered to the needs of travelers. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy, and there was a convenient place to store bags after check-out. The location was great, being close to a shopping center and just a short walk from the waterfront, night markets, and public pool.

    The dorm room felt a bit cramped and could benefit from individual lights for each bed. While some of the staff were friendly and helpful, others seemed unbothered and rude, which made it less comfortable to approach them with questions or concerns.

    The location was great, close to a shopping center and food options. The complementary activities offered were a fun way to socialize with other travelers.

    The price was too high for the quality of accommodation, which was just basic. The staff, particularly one female staff member, was rude and dismissive.

    The location of the hotel was perfect for us, as it was handy to EVERYTHING and easy to find. We were able to explore the party area and visit all the sites easily. the hotel was close to the train station, which was why we chose it in the first place. the room we stayed in was comfortable and clean, and the bathroom was well-maintained. the staff provided exceptional service and were very friendly. the hotel had great facilities and advantages.

    The kitchen was quite small and could use a separate dining area to make it more spacious.

    This hotel is an excellent value for money, especially considering its central location. It is just a short walk away from the Cairns Central shopping centre, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. The rooms with ensuit bathrooms are basic but comfortable, providing everything you need for a pleasant stay. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast is a nice bonus.

    No improvements needed, everything was okay.

    The hostel’s location is convenient with a shopping center nearby and the lagoon within walking distance. Rooms with private bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, and the spacious lockers in the room are a plus. The free pancake breakfast is a nice extra touch that guests can enjoy before starting their day.

    The kitchen is crowded during peak meal times and not as large as other hostels.
