Very clean room and facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. Some frustrations with facilities e.g having to use key card for bathrooms each time, no bedside light, lack of air con control only on/off, uncomfortable bed (could feel the mattress springs).

Useful hostel for those in cairns and wanting to be close to restaurants and a shopping centre. The city itself is not the biggest so it doesn't take very long to walk to the promenade. The rusty market was close by which was nice to visit. The hostel itself was nice enough, with a pool and fully fitted kitchen.

Really basic room. What you see is what you get. We just needed a night before we picked up our campervan so it fit us well. Good location and clean sheets. But we felt it was a bit pricey. Well all hotels in Cairns were equally pricey so yeah.
