These guys have thought of everything! I have stayed in probably 100 hostels on my travels and this has been one of the best...really sets a new standard. If only the others could be as good. I highly recommend it. More

Great kitchen & common area. They do free trips the beach and other places of interest. Also free WiFi. Great value for the cost and great location (very close to buses, only $18 round trip to airport, & very close to the docks). More

Northern Greenhouse is underrated. Almost everyday there is a free shuttle to different activities and the activities are often offered at lower cost. The rooms are clean, fresh, have air conditioning, refrigerator, and the hostel is in a great location in Cairns. The travel desk is amazing (thanks to Dominique!) and they offer free wi-fi and free computer usage (30... More

This hostel appears to have seen better days. The rooms are spacious and it's great that there are lockers in the rooms. Also the bunks were nice and big. The fan in our room didn't work and the power socket in the bathroom had clearly been burnt out- no way was I plugging anything in. The cleaners closed the kitchen... More

You've got pretty good free wifi there, so checking out facebook was no problem. The pool in the middle of the hostel... More

I stayed here while backpacking for 5 nights. It is a really good hostel with free breakfast(tea, coffee, cereal and toast) and free wifi. The wifi gets slow in the evening when there are a lot of users but it works well during the day. They have an onsite travel desk to book tours and were very helpful with arranging... More

When thinking back of my time backpacking through Australia, the Northern Greenhouse is definitely one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Swimming pool, large terrace, free wifi, located in a calm street but still in the "city" center, large and clean kitchen, theme nights- yes I had an awesome time in this hostel. The rooms are clean and... More

Although i rarely ever write reviews, i personally felt like the northern greenhouse deserved the time and effort, i would highly recommend this hostel, especially with only 6 per dorm with ensuite bathroom and lockers as week as our own small kitchenette so you don't have to store food in the main kitchen. In the middle of the hostel is... More
