    Better to stay closer to the promenade.
    Long way from anything. Lots of traffic passes by.

    Great stay in Cairns
    The vibes were great, there is a lot of space to sit outside, plenty of room to cook and enough amenities. Everybody was really nice, we could leave our bags there after check out to pick up our car
    The showers and toilets are a bit old, and the feel is not amazing. But it IS a Hostel. So it was actually totally ok

    Substandard washrooms and kitchen, do not deserve that price. They also charge 50$ deposit, which is the most weve paid across hostels in Australia. There was a lot of cleaning and construction/renovation stuff spread across the property.

    Never seen the people running this place... Is there actually someone managing this place? I got my room and key thanks to the long staying guests who seem to be used to this... So weird...

    Good
    Comfortable and excellent service
    Roz and Marco were fantastic hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed. They kept my really big suitcase for a couple of nights while I went out to the Great Barrier Reef. The room was really well-equipped for the heat. I was very comfortable.
    The wifi is a little temperamental and only connected me to the internet in certain spots of the property. Another router might be an idea?

    Worst hostel weve ever seen.
    Nothing.
    We did not receive our money back for the key deposit. 50 dollars are missing. Everything is dirty.
