The best hostel I‘ve ever stayed at! I stayed here for 5 months and there’s nothing to complain about. Very central location, clean sanitary rooms, the kitchen is clean and on the rooftop! The staff is great and always helpful. Would definitely...

The room for two almost felt like a hotel! Very clean, with airco working well (essential in Cairns climate). Price quality this is by far the best we could find in Cairns

It's a superb location, right next to the night market and opposite the promenade. The shared kitchen was very well-equipped and well-kept.

We are a young couple who stayed in a private room and it was honestly nicer than some hotels around. We had a balcony looking out over the esplanade which was stunning. The reception staff were so friendly each time we saw them. Good facilities...

Amazing, most comfortable and clean kitchen I have ever seen at a hostel. There is about 15 separate stoves and it is all located at a rooftop. Beds were also comfortable.
