Mad Monkey Waterfront

Best hostel in Cairns. Really enjoyed my stay here. The room was really nice and clean. The location of the hostel is good since it is close to anything. The staff was really nice and friendly. Highly recommend this hostel!

very nice and welcoming place

Pleasant and well-located hostel, rooms recently renovated, I recommend it !!😊

chill hostel, perfect location and really nice staff 😊

Really good hostel, would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something very chill and clean.. room are spacious, clean, bathroom too! I would say that the only problem is that there’s just one bathroom in every room (but it is ok, you can deal with that) and not really really social. But apart from that, is a very good hostel, I would stay here again for sure

weird vibe to this place. hard to find and once you’re in there it’s basically just a corridor of rooms with the kitchen at the end and then another social space downstairs in what looks like the back alley of the night markets. wouldn’t stay here again

Absolutely LOVED my time here. The staff were amazing and the place is so clean. Definitely check out the BBQ on sundays 💓

Mad Monkey is a really social environment where you can meet a lot of people. Everything is clean. The staff is really nice and helpful.

Stayed there two months was very nice

El hostel es súper limpio y ordenado, el staff es buena onda y bastante atento.

It’s a really good hostel for the price!!

Nice and clean hostel, lovely staff

Clean, quiet, and in a perfect central location. The staff were kind and always helpful, and the overall vibe was really friendly and welcoming. The only small downside: the kitchen knives could use some sharpening 🥹

I highly recommend this Mad Monkey. It's very quiet, pleasant, and clean. The staff are helpful and always ready to assist. It's not too big, so it's easy to socialize with people if you arrive alone. The kitchen is very good with all the equipment you need: microwave, air fryer. A big plus for the location: right across from the lagoon, which is a real bonus because everything is nearby: bars, restaurants, the lagoon, supermarket... You can go there with your eyes closed!

A perfect mix between central position, hostel vibes, and a very clean place

Super friendly staff but not so social for a Mad Monkey and small hostel. The location is good

small hostel with very little going on. rooms weren’t very clean and the bathroom situation was awful. amazing location but that’s just about the only redeeming quality

Great place to stay for a few days in Cairns. Right on the waterfront and within walking distance to most things in the city. Rooms and kitchen were cleaned daily and wasn’t too noisy at night. Bare in mind most people seemed to be staying long term so not the easiest for meeting people if your only there for a few days

Great spot

It’s really clean and spacious, staff are welcoming and friendly
