Hostels in Cairns

Best hostel I stayed in Australia! Staff is great, super helpful and thoughtful! The hostel is super clean and bedrooms comfortable. Stayed in a 3-bed dormitory and I felt like home. You can also feel that this place is so special that it creates a very calm ambiance amongst guests. There are different common areas/kitchens for each group of bedrooms. The hostel is located just beside the bus station and a commercial center where there is a supermarket and some stores open until 10 Pm.

This is an absolutely beautiful hostel. You feel like you’re staying in the trees. The staff there are lovely, Tim, the owner, is so helpful with booking tours and helping to organise an extension on your stay when you inevitably decide you can’t leave just yet! The kitchen has lots of utensils and everything you’d need. There is hobs, a microwave and an air fryer for cooking. No oven, but I didn’t feel I needed it because of the air fryer. The kitchen was clean, people were very respectful with doing their washing up and cleaning up after themselves. The bathrooms were also clean, there were 3 showers dotted across the hostel so usually you can find one to use even when it’s during busy times in the morning or evening. The toilets are separate, so you don’t need to worry about all of the bathrooms being taken up by people showering. The outside area is such a lovely environment. There is a BBQ area, lots of areas to relax and chill out. A very cute little pool that is open until 9pm. The staff often play gentle quiet music during the day around the pool, which just makes the space feel even nicer. The rooms themselves are so adorable. I stayed in both the 5 bed and the 4 bed dorm on different occasions and both are lovely. The girls I shared with were fun and welcoming, it felt like a very cute girly experience sharing a room with them. There are no bunkbeds so it feels really spacious. People are quiet and respectful with noise. This is the perfect place to stay if you’re like me and didn’t want to be in a party hostel but still like the idea of meeting friendly people. I made 5/6 new friends here, which made the whole experience even more fun, but you can also quite happily exist on the solo, and everyone will be friendly either way! I would highly recommend staying here, don’t look any further!! I would come back in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for a great stay Tim!! :)

Peter’s exceptional help from beginning to end. Ready assistance throughout. I felt very welcome. Quiet, clean, comfortable. The small things mean a lot. Peter knows how to treat his guests. Thank you.

The room and kitchen are clean. There is a nice and cozy pool area. Additionally, they have a chilling TV room. The workers here are friendly. The location is good as well that is close to airport and city.

BEST HOSTEL IN CAIRNS ❤️ amazing location, garden & staff (especially Nadiah).

amazing hostel great kitchen and clean.

I had a great stay at Caravela Backpackers. It’s a really good place. Very clean, well-maintained, and the service is excellent. The owner and the staff are extremely kind and welcoming. The rooms are spacious, have air-conditioning, and the beds are comfortable. The atmosphere at night is calm and quiet so that you can rest well. It’s in a great location on the main street, close to the shops but still quiet at night. Overall, it’s a wonderful place and I’d definitely stay here again.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The property is close to the airport. They have a lot of social activities and a WhatsApp community with the announcements so you don’t miss out. They have the cheapest food and drink prices I’ve seen in my time in Australia and the food was delicious.

The staff & the accommodation was spot on, location was near to everything that I wanted. Thank you very much. Looking foward to book a room again.

Perfect location for afordable price.
