The ONLY thing which is good is the location cause it's right in the center. BUT : horrible place ! It is VERY dirty, the rooms, the commun places, the showers are horrible ... And the worst : there is a TV in a common place, young drunk people watch TV very loud the WHOLE night (until 6am ...) and... More

I've seen worse places, but I've definitely seen better. The Reef Backpackers is less then 10 Minutes away from the Esplenade, and that's where everything else is in Cairns, so the location is really good. The price is ok, too. We had a double room which had not much room to put your things. The wardrobe had no boards and... More

Another east coast dive. Aircon broke, staff disinterested, room extremely basic and dirty. There were bugs and that isn't acceptable whatever price you paid for a room. Communal areas poor maintained and dirty. I wouldn't throw my worst enemy in the "pool"

This hotel is very bad, you need to avoid it! The room when we arrived was dirty (beer bottles, hairs, papers, food, etc.) There was a big hole in the wall. Some of the showers did not work. The kitchen was dirty and messy. Our room (and the entire hotel) is very noisy. We decided to leave after one night,... More

We didn't expect much for 50 dollars a night for a double. But we didn't expect this. In our first room the a/c didn't work. In the next room we actually got a quite nice queen size bed. The problem turned out to be BEDBUGS. And a lot of them. The next day we switched to our third room. Bit... More

Stayed in this hostel for 4 nights (booked in front). It has great staff, very friendly and hard working. They arrange some nice nights out to meet new people, good thought! Against that the hostel itself is for my opinion pretty dirty. The bathroom had the first two days zero toiletpaper, blood on the floor stayed there pretty long. The... More

The staff is great and do their best to make the most out of your stay. Some of them really make an effort to make certain you are happy. That being said, the room I stayed in was dirty and housekeeping was close to non-existent. In general, the place need an overhaul. It is great with free internet, but the... More

This hostel is one of the worst places I've ever stayed! Room was horrible with a hole in the window which meant that anything could get in! Wi Fi was not not available in room which was very annoying! I will definately not be returning! On a brighter note the staff were very helpful.

Even if the location is not the best, it's still close to everything, no need to have a car or to take a bus. The staff is great, fun and very helpful. I had a very good time as it is easy to meet new people and book tours at the reception. Great hostel don't hesitate to book there !
