4.5/5

Excellent

GGuest UserI 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!

GGuest UserThe 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!

Very Good

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 !

AAnonymous UserHad a wonderful stay at cairns queen court! All the staff were super friendly. They always try their very best to help with our questions and provide suggestions to our trip planning! However, beware of the morning (ard 6:30am) house keeping if you wanna sleep in~ overall, I enjoyed staying there and had lot of fun in Cairns!

3.8/5

GGuest UserThe location is very good, in the city center, near to the lagoon, super market, Rusty’s market, the Fleet Terminal. So it is very convenient for your activities. The downsides are the cleanliness and the hostel bar. Kitchen is not clean, badly equipped, not properly lit, resulting in guests having dinners in the dark. Guests leave many uncleaned dishes overnight, with cockroaches running over. There are no sign indicating rooms numbers whatsoever, whereas some rooms are technically hiding behind doors. Many guests having difficulty finding their rooms, including myself. I have seen at least three persons going un and down the corridors several times before finding the room number. The hostel bar’s music is extremely loud and this until 2:30 am. So every night I sleep very badly.

李李It is far away from the cruise ship terminal. It takes about 30 minutes to walk. The boss service is very enthusiastic. It should be fixed for 3 nights and solved. There is a 7-11 convenience store next to it. It is a little more expensive than the big supermarket in the city center. There are two Chinese restaurants next to it. The taste and the amount of food are OK. The price is cheaper than the city center. Overall good.

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

YYIIt is very rare to have a hotel of this price during the Spring Festival, so if this hotel can meet the basic needs of rest, in addition to additional facilities, it is really good value for money! First of all, the location of the hotel is a certain distance from the city center. It is a half-hour walk, but there is nothing to visit in the city, it is nothing more than a supermarket to buy things. Secondly, the hotel's facilities are complete, basic things are available, and you can rest well at night. There is also a kitchenette in the room where you can cook your own meals, which is really a bonus. Finally, because it is a motel, the service is basically absent, but the front desk staff are very enthusiastic, so there will be no uncomfortable feeling.

GGuest UserThe Bohemia resort is located close to the airport, excellent pubs including (Cock & Bull pictured) and restaurants so was perfect for an overnight stay. The garden pool area looks inviting. The rooms are basic but clean, fairly old bathrooms simple amenities in fair condition. comfortable bed. Well priced and well located. Friendly staff.
