The Night Manager was very helpful with the late check-in. I actually booked a wrong room type. However, he did changes to giving me a single room.

We loved the hostel. It is perfect for spending some time in Cairns. It is better suited for younger people who like parties, as there are activities every night. They offer lots of day trips, so you will never experience boredom at this hostel. The dinner at the hostel was delicious.

What can I say, this place has the loveliest and most helpful staff ever :). Stayed here twice, and was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by my name when I walked in to check in again. I had some problems with the initial dorm I was staying in, and when asked if it was possible to move to another dorm, this was done without any problems (and the staff kept checking in throughout to make sure everything was OK). Other than that: great location near the bus station, lovely courtyard, nice kitchen area and comfortable rooms

Looking for a hostel?

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.
