Clean room, staff were friendly, central to cairns, pool isn’t the cleanest but good place to lounge. It gets rowdy at night so bring earplugs if your not in the hustle and bussel

This is a party place which means music very loud everynight up until 2 am. The drain in the shower was clogged, the AC can't be turned off or changed and there 's no space to put you stuff in the room, no shelves, no curtains, no personnal lamp. This place really is just for very short stays, for having fun at the club which makes the check-out at 10am outrageous, it should be 11am instead.

This is the best hostel I’ve ever stay so far! The room was clean, I stayed in a 4-Female Dorm, and have our own bathroom and toilet inside how nice! This hostel looks like a partying place, but It’s well managed!
