Gilligan's Backpacker Hotel & Resort Cairns

Great work Joe!

The hostel was amazing and Joseph made our stay even better

amazing hostel the bar is so much fun. Joe on reception is so friendly. highly recommend

Joe is the best reception and always a smile on his face. Looks good in his uniform as well

Great place and the location is perfect! Leon is the BEST

Clean rooms, nice en-suite toilet/shower, social vibe. Staff is super helpful, especially Leon!

Very good, location wise perfect. Rooms are clean and modern. Big hostel, so plenty of opportunity to get in touch with other backpackers. Leon is definitely the best at the reception. That is very clear.

Had a great time and Leon has been so helpful!

Joe is the most handsome man in Cairns

Was in great location however if in a bad room you will hear music all night and there was a few holes in the walls which small bugs crawled out of. We were in a 6 bed female dorms which had no lockers, just one small safe for everyone in the room. The kitchen was also not clean, dirty plates put back into the cupboards however that’s more on the residents staying, I cleaned everything before using it.

Das Zimmer ist zwar geräumig, allerdings sind die Räume extrem feucht, dass die Bettwäsche und Matratzen durchgehend feucht sind. Auch Sachen zum Trocknen werden nicht vollständig trocken. Außerdem befinden sich auf den Fleece Decken zum schlafen enorm viele Haare, total widerlich. Der Geruch im Zimmer ist ebenfalls gewöhnungsbedürftig.

Best reception in australia. Joe and amendine were so helpful

Joe honestly made my stay, the whole hostel is a vibe and a half but Joe really pulls it together!!! great staff love this ish

Pretty good stuff, js a curfew on a party hostel is ridiculous and having the checkout at 10 with a person on loud speaker in everyroom saying every morning at 9:30am is unacceptable. Rooms are nice, hostels “party vibe” is intresting, pretty good place to pre drink at happy hour then go somewhere else for music and dancing. Hostel also has a bit of a identity crisis trying to pander to all people leaving everyone lacking. Would book for a few nights but not a top hostel.

I really enjoyed my time at Gilligan’s, theres always an event on every evening and a deal on the food. The staff are all lovely too, especially Leon on the front desk who was always so chatty and helpful :) would recommend staying here if you want a fun time!!

Wow what a great hostel, only knock was the wifi was not good or even accessible while i was staying on the 3rd floor, but they said they were currently working on it. Other than that, what a great fun place to stay while at the Reef!

All as described. Can recommend it!

Bar and accomodation are both really friendly and helpful. One of the best hostels I have stayed in. Joe on reception is amazing at his job

Joe is a good receptionist

Joe at the reception was super nice and efficient. Would recommend Gillian’s for meeting new fun people
