perhaps the most charming hostel i have ever stayed in! it feels like a chill little oasis just outside cairns centre. super comfy and homey feel, i could definitely stay a while. the staff were also all so friendly and engaged and helpful when we locked ourselves out. having multiple kitchens and lounge rooms was also fantastic and was always clean and tidy ! best hostel i’ve stayed in in aus by far

As a female solo traveller, I wouldn’t recommend this hostel! First of all, there’s no option of a female only room; normally hasn’t been the biggest problem for me, but this hostel doesn’t have an age limit which led to three 18-20 year olds girls sleeping with a 50 year old in a tiny room… Furthermore, it wasn’t as clean as I thought it would be… we had several cockroaches in our room and I saw a huge one in the kitchen which was disgusting. Also; location not good; not save a...

I loved to stay there. The best hostel on the east coast. The staff is friendly and kind. They have a lot of knowledge and they can help you plan your trip easily. The hostel was super clean and have a lot of style. We were very comfortable. We would go back for sure. Special mention to Sita, the hostel mascot.

One of my absolute favourite hostels on my east coast tour. Felt like living in a big shared home (in the best way and a very clean one with great people). Would def recommend for anyone not looking for a party hostel (cough Gilligans cough) but a relaxed and cozy but still social stay with great extras like towels and a beautiful outdoor shower (in addition to normal ones indoors). Just heads up: bring a mosquito spray for rainy early mornings and nights.

Wanted to avoid a party hostel in Cairns so opted for the good value and small rooms here. Lovely pool, live-in staff and guests were all really friendly, great vibe.

Great stay, really relaxed vibes, everyone was friendly. Lots of space to hang out and a nice pool, clean and tidy and perfectly located near cairns centre (20 minute walk to the reef terminals, 2 min walk to the kuranda railway, bus stops and large shopping centre. Staff on hand to help with recommendations/ tour booking if you want that. Often get upgraded to a better room if one is available too. Great stay, I didn’t want to leave!

Really great overall! The only weird thing was having to pay $1 / 8 hours of air con in the dorms. I think the company should just pay for this instead of paying for 8 hours and expecting guests to keep feeding a machine in the room--especially if it would cost $3/ day. The idea of making sure to put money in every night not to wake up boiling in the middle of the night was not a worry I needed.

Overall pretty good. Only complaints was that the wifi was out for a whole day when i got there which sucks traveling internationally. The other thing was you have to pay for air conditioning, which is kinda ridiculous for the “#1 hostel in cairns”. Other than that, it was great. Social, clean, and reltively close to everything.

Amazing spot. It is beautiful, clean and met awesome people. 3 kitchens, nice pool and the asthetic is killer. It’s such a vibe. Outdoor shower is awesome. Close to cairns central and 15 min easy walk from esplanade. Would highly recommend staying here, loved it

Great hostel, located a 5 min walk from the greyhound stop or a 15 minute walk from the reef terminal, staff are super friendly and helped me book some tours for my time in cairns. The hostel provides a towel for free for showering and offers beach towels for free for using at the pool or if you go on a tour. There are multiple kitchens to use and it's a super social hostel. I'd happily stay here again.
