This hostel was very dirty when we arrived, even though the bathrooms had apparently been cleaned just 1/2 hours before. The rooms felt very much like a prison, literally a bed, hard floor and no windows. I will give credit to the staff who quickly moved us rooms and apologised for the bathrooms but I would not stay again or recommend.
In a central location, very close to both attractions and amenities (restaurants, bars, shops, bottle (liquor) store.) All star ratings are relative, i.e., based on this being a backpacker dormitory type of place. Needed a place to stay on short notice and was able to get room with just four beds and semi-private pair of toilet + shower rooms. People staying observed the 10 PM quiet hour start. The people out on the street, not so much.
Booked a room didn't notice there was no en suit bathroom, it's my fault probably. Also no window so it sort of feels like a box, but it was cheap secure and clean.
One of the more respectful, cleaner hostels in cairns, perfect for the more matured generation who respect others privacy, females shared bathroom is extremely clean.
Aside from requiring maintenance to 2/3 hand basins and regular topup of hand towels/soap, I cannot fault this hostel.
Very quiet, stayed in a 2 person room with my friend. Simple & clean. Bathroom was greatâŠlots of showers & clean. Felt very safe. No parking, so try the parking garage on Lake St, $12/day.
Paid extra for the premium king private room and spent the whole time listening to slamming doors. The shared bathroom for the premium rooms isnât lockable so be prepared to walk in on people on the loo or in the shower! Staff are great and location is central and itâs probably great if youâre in a dorm and on a budget but personally I wouldnât stay there again.
Staff seem to not care about this place, the cleaning is surface and thick dust on vents, top of any surface.
Floors and bathrooms were cleaned terribly, with thick ingrained dirt around the edges.
Cracks tiles, some broken showers, 1 working tumble dryer out of 4, water damage in areas and paint falling off walls in the bed room which were cleaner then the communual areas but defiantly not clean.
Staff beside 1 seemed rude and when I asked what the situation with the kitchen was as I have not been there before she said use a box and I couldn't find one as they are overfilled with several âstaffâ labeled boxes taking up multiple per person. They responded that, it wasn't their problem and I had to figure it out.
They had somebags at the bottom which had to be removed as a message was sent to everyoneim not sure what those people did.
The kitchen is incredibly dirty, no fresh tea towels available and old dirt almost every where.
.the comunnal areas had some sofas which you could see the dirt build up on them.
I felt like they didn't care or haven't for a long while. This place could be so much better but its just lacking management and quality staff.
I hate to leave a bad review but it was gross.
I would add photos but it won't let me
I checked in late at night and left early in the morning, only a short stop but the cleanliness of the hostel was pristine, the room was very spacious for a 4 bedder and super neat & clean as well
Great hostel at Cairns CBD. Clean, quiet with a great social space in the hallway. Highly recommended for solo travelers that enjoy mostly resting at night after a full day of activities.
