Liked: Met the coolest people, danced until the early hours, and still managed to wake up in time for my reef trip. Everything you need is right here (bar, pool, kitchen, gym). It’s basically a little backpacker paradise in the middle of Cairns

Exceptional

Liked: Cheap drinks, good tunes, and a great crowd! Dorms were quiet and air conditioning was good throughout. Plug points and night lights beside each bed, would recommend bringing a multiplug if you have more than two devices to charge at once.

Liked: Such a big hostel compared to others I have stayed at! Check in was quick and easy, staff were helpful. Nice rooms and common areas, big kitchen with enough fridge space for the entire floor.

Liked: Stayed here a few months back and had to stay in again. Didn’t have to leave to have a good time. Two nights wasn’t enough, but my liver says otherwise.
