Good for partying or relaxing

Great location. Great kitchen facilities. Discounts at the joining pub. Big rooms.

A/C wasn't functioning fully. Lack of power points. Weird places for light switches (In the middle of the bottom bunk)

Very good

Fun, Tidy, pleasant stay with some minor inconveniences

The room was nice, facilities of the venue exceeded our expectations. given the club was next door, 0 sound leaked into the room

The aircon was not up to par. Could have it on the coldest setting we could get and we would still sweat up a storm sleeping.

The property is centrally located. The staff were friendly. There was pole dancing contest at the club in the evening which was entertaining lol

Its pretty much a frat house. Its loud at night, the shower had a dead roach, and the sheets felt damp.

Cheap and cheerful but if you want an early night, not the best

It was what we needed it to be for 2 nights. Cheap and did the job. Had good facilities as well. Location isnt too far from greyhound bus and other main cairns attractions!

Was so noisy! Could head the live music from the 4th floor as if I was at the club. Wasnt the cleanest and had a few cockroaches in the room (4th floor)
