Cairns Hostels

I left another local hostel after one night as it was just too noisy - I wanted a place for a good rest so that I could really enjoy all the amazing day trips nearby. This place did just that! I booked a single occupancy room (shared bathroom) on the day and stayed for 4 nights - great value for money and really did the job - I had a perfect rest here. Other guests were of all ages and were friendly. The hostel was very quiet at night and put on some optional entertainment (I chose not to partake and it didn’t disturb me at all). The pool area is small but great! Big kitchen area to cook in and store food. The staff were great at helping me book day trips and the location is fantastic for these (I did the Great Barrier Reef, karunda skyrail and daintree trip from here and the location was perfect). I would definitely stay again!

Omg staying at this hostel was equally parts traumatic and entertaining. The best way to describe it is imagine if a problematic 60 year old man opened a hostel with a nightclub underneath, and all the social activities were designed with other problematic 60 year old men in mind. They don't seem to do any sort of gender balancing in the mixed dorm, one girl checked into my room in the middle of the night, because she was put in a mixed dorms with only men over 50. The social activities are old fashioned but not in a good way, I'm talking wet t shirt contests, pole dancing competitions, jelly wrestling. But honestly this hostel gave most of the girls staying here the ick so we ended up having movie nights on the girls floor, going to the market and Esplanade together and to the free gym. I actually had a good time, ironically. The facilities at this hostel are really good to be fair, the dorms were clean, they all had air conditioning and balconies (unfortunately you are not able to control the temperature of the air conditioning or turn it off when it is cold outside), they had large well equipped kitchens, a pool and a free gym. Even the nightclub was a good venue, but the social activities are like something out of the Wolf Of Wall Street. If they are going to be a sleazy venue they could at least hire Magic Mike dancers. But honestly they just need to get a new entertainment manager and this place would be fine. Location is alright, about a twenty minute walk to the Esplanade.

First of all crazy good location. This is right where you want to be in Cairns When taking in consideration that this is a hostel it is very good. We had a private room with bathroom for 2 nights Very clean and modern, with great Wi-Fi connection. The hostel also had special deals at local bars and restaurants. We got a coupon for dinner and a drink for 12$ at the local Irish pub. And here we are even talking big and good portions of food and wine… They had a big kitchen and a nice terrace with a great view Can recommend this place even if you are not the typical hostel type

I arrived the day after Cyclone Jasper. My flight was severely delayed and I was a bit stressed esp as a solo older female traveller. It also seemed I had a duplicate payment in the system . The delightful young Irish(?) woman on reception the night of 16/12 was a godsend. She was charming , efficient, refunded my overpayment . On check in , offered me a lower bunk in a 3 bedded room. The room was great - quiet spacious , great accommodation clean . I loved the fluffy pillows spotless bedding good ac and fans.No ‘ hostel’ smell either! .Amazing location close to the Esplanade too! Thank you !

I got a private room here for a few days. The staff is courteous, the cleanliness is quite good, the rooms are a bit small, the climate works at the top. Prices ok, excellent location both for going out in the evening and for visiting the surroundings in the morning

The location is good, right next to Beach Road, the sea is out. Seeing the lives of the locals, there is a Woolworths supermarket 800 meters away. Pick-up and drop-off at a reasonable time within reasonable time. Health needs to be improved, overall recommendation

On the first night we discovered the TV in our room had a smashed screen and the bed was so old you could feel every spring. Second night we were moved to another room, TV worked but there was no internet so you couldn't access any of the apps on the smart TV, free to air only. Morning of day 4 we went to make breakfast at 7.45am and couldn't access the guest kitchen (which ic in the pool area) as the pool gates were still locked. The guest kitchen has next to no equipment for cooking anyway, 1 spatula, no tongs, no knives, 1 usable small frypan, an electric frypan that doesn't work, a toaster, microwave and kettle. The sign on the back of our room door says no food in the rooms, but if there are no facilities to cook or keep food outside of it, then you can't comply. The bed in the second room was more comfortable and the rooms were clean. The shared toilets were clean, but the shared showers need some serious attention on the mouldy grout. Very run down place, the a/c and ceiling fan worked, the fridge, kettle, microwave and TV worked. Pool was great, hot tub worked, but the rest of the facilities were either non-existent or in terrible disrepair. This resort really needs some money invested in repairs and replacing items used by the guests. The photos on the website were obviously taken years ago when this would have been a lovely resort with a bar and Cafe which are now closed indefinitely. Trip typeHoliday · Couple Rooms1.0Service1.0Location1.0 SafetyAt 1.30am a guest in another room had stolen the fire extinguisher from the foyer and it exploded in his room. Dry powder was spread from the room, to the hallway, toilets and under other doors. The fire alarm and evacuation notice sounded at 1.50am, while standing in the evacuation area with the other guests at 2am, the culprit was nowhere to be seen and the night caretaker didn't even do a head count of guests or check that everyone was out! What if there had been a fire? That was Wednesday night, it is now Friday morning and the extinguisher has not yet been replaced, so there is nothing to use on the ground floor if a fire started.

The place was freshly painted and extremely clean, beds so comfortable . It was a paradise to stay in even compared to hotels I have paid much more for in the past. We went on a waterfall bus trip and listened to others complaining about the places they were staying being dirty, pillows in adequate etc and we could only say Travellers Paradise was so clean and comfortable!,! The host Peter was also extremely helpful at all times!
