I really enjoyed my stay at the YHA cairns central. I made some great friends. I found the room clean,but I was a bit annoyed as the plastic sheet on the mattress was all yuk and looked like 100 years old. The kitchen was substantial size,with nice seating outside. Plus there's a pool and a Jacuzzi. What else could you... More

I really enjoyed my stay in this YHA. It is very clean, everything is very new, it has a pool and the service is also very good. Would recommend and come back here any time. Location is also very central. When you arrive on the Greyhound, you can walk there within 15 minutes. Large shopping centre is just in front... More

The YHA Cairns Central was a very cool spot. First off, it feels like a Caribbean Resort complete with pool, hot tub, open-air dining and common areas. My wife and I stayed in a double bed room. The room was small, with barely enough room to get around the bed. And it only had one electrical outlet for charging our... More

Reasonable Prices and a good location. Is part of the YHA chain (obviously) so thats helpful if you have a membercard. I could also buy that after bookimg which was awesome. Has a small pool and clean community kitchen. If you just want a good nights sleep before a dive trip that works too.

The location of this YHA, while probably not as smack-bang in the centre as other hostels (e.g. Gilligan's), is still very strategic - just opposite Cairns Central shopping mall where there are shops, food court, and cinema. It is very easy to reach as it is on the main road that connects to the airport, and you only need 10... More

This hostel is in a good location with very friendly staff and a nice swimming pool which is a bonus! However, as an 18 year old traveller, I was slightly surprised by the age of some of the other guests staying in a "youth" hostel. They clearly were not "youths". This wouldn't matter except when myself and some others were... More

Overall absolutely terrible, although they have good resources. One good thing: they have a small but comparatively good selection of books in the kitchen, and the smoking area is quite big and the smokers are friendly (I'm not a smoker but I basically held my breath and became a token non smoker just because they were the most friendly people)....

Stayed in 4 share for 3 nights. Standard. Plenty of communal space and nice pool / outdoor seating area in the middle. Ample parking out front which is mainly free at weekends. Helpful staff and longer than usual reception hours. Well located near shopping centre, main road, and ten mins walk from esplanade. Only issue is depending on your room... More
