I've stayed for three weeks in April in The Cairns Beach House and loved it there. I honestly cannot understand some of the comments made here. 'The worst hostel ever'? Seriously? I have been travelling through Australia and staying in Hostels since 1.5 years on my Working Holiday Visa and The Cairns Beach House is BY FAR the nicest hostel... More

The staff is freaking awesome! Soccer matches, heaps of alcohol and we always got a pretty good discount when we did some tours. Besides: free wifi, pool and heaps of English but they were the funniest people ever. Everyday you get a free shuttle bus to the clubs and if you do a diving or snorkeling tour you get a... More

Hostel had free wifi internet and it was exceptional offer among other hostels in Cairns. Located in less than 1 km from Esplanade with onshore and 2 km from CBD is good location for short stay, local food store and pizza cafe in 1minute walk only. Shared room had clean bath room with hot water. It also had very big... More

The one redeeming feature of our stay here was the price.... But this would not persuade me to return. The receptionist was rude and unhelpful. The kitchen was dirty, far too small for a hostel this size (especially considering there was only 1 in the whole place), and lacked in the basics. The room we had was like a sauna... More

Hostel advised I would be picked up from bus station; not the case. After ringing somebody came (5-10 mins later), whole way back he complained and moaned about cairns and the hostel in general. The hostel is a good 30-40 min walk from town. Arrive at reception and another young lad is behind the counter checking another customer in (a... More

I stayed for 6 nights at this hostel and I found that it was perfect for the occasion. I spent 2 nights in the basic dorms where I enjoyed a nice air-conditioned (although it did leak a bit), spacious room with an ensuite bathroom. The room was for 10 people but it was split into 2 adjoining rooms so there... More

Hey! Just before i write this i wanna say something.... i've stayed in hostels all over Europe & lots in Australia too... & the idea of it, is to be cheap & cheerful... it's not a hotel so you can't expect everything to be immaculate. It's supposed to have character! END This hostel certainly has character... it's more of a... More

First and only hostel that we stayed at. Nice room, nice people and close to the beach volleyboll court. Good pickup service to and from the city, also good when you wanted to book any trip. The food was absolut NOT worth the money, but the atmosphere was great. We could't lock our private room, but they did fix it... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed there for one night and I had to give my credit card details for the 20 dollars key deposit as a frozen transaction as long as we give the key back. 3 days later I saw on my bankstatement that they took 36 dollars out of my account for the room although we paid with...
