Bathrooms where digusting as were the rooms, need a mop every one in a while didnt seem to have any room cleaners to come around and check up on the conditions of rooms. The pool is nice and the FREE WIFI is a huge plus. Great knowledgable staff and free dinner, unfortunately that just doesn't make up for everything else. More

Stayed in this hostel one week. Was hoping to stay for at least a month, but it's not a good hostel for people wanting to settle for that length of time! Firstly the pool area is nice and the bar area also, but the actual hostel facilities like the rooms and kitchen are not good. I stayed in an 10bed... More

I stayed here for about a week with a friend and it was a nice hostel. The staff was really friendly and there were cheap meals available. It was quite far from the center of town, but there was a shuttle bus running every hour so that was a great service. The rooms were pretty small, but that doesn't really... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed in the Cairns Beach House for five days - we didn't have any influence on the choice as we booked an East Coast complete package so we were kind of scared the agency would put us in some dirty hostels, but this place is awesome! Admittedly, it probably wouldn't have been that perfect if we... More

When I booked my dorm @beach house, firtstly I had doubts because of the cheap price (was special offer: pay 2, stay 3 nights). So, when I arrived I was very overwhelmed for what I got for my money! Sure, a dorm with 7 other strangers is not that comfortable than a 5 star single dorm, but everybody who decided... More

I am currently staying at Cairns Beach House and I would not recommend this place to anyone. My room which is a 8 bed dorm is absolutely disgusting I don't think its been cleaned in weeks. We havent had any toilet paper since I've arrived. The kitchen is disgusting and there is no way I will be cooking anything in... More

We stayed there for few days... $15 a night but wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Staff were ridiculously unhelpful! One example that stood out was the guy behind the counter told me he had no washing powder left while I could see a big drum beside him! Reception closed from 12-5, no one could check in or book anything. As... More

This hostel is cheap but you get what you pay for. The free dinner in the evening is the best thing about it. The kitchen is disgusting and the service is non existent. Compared to all of the other hostels iv stayed in the staff are unhelpful here and reception is always unattended. I would recommend staying in another hostel! More

Reception is closed for 2 hours a day between 12 and 2 so the staff can have lunch. The kitchen is cleaned 3 times a day and if people would clean up after themselves it would be clean all the time. I will post some photos that show the areas you are complaining about. More

Nice bedroom, plain and simple but clean, bathroom something else, shocking, flooded, not cleaned in days, hair on the floor, shower broken, really bad, insects on the floor, just so bad it's untrue. 45 dollars for a private room isn't bad, but i'd just recommend paying the extra 15 dollars and staying at X Base, alot nicer!

I stayed at the Cairns Beach house with a friend of mine for almost one week and we had a really great time. The staff is friendly and the hostel is clean. There is a free shuttle to the city centre and sights like the botanical garden are in walking distance. If you wanna spent a nice time in Cairns... More
