Liked: This place is a full experience. You get the wild nights and chilled days, great food, and perfect location. The staff are friendly, and the whole vibe just makes it impossible to leave

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

Good
Liked: Nice room, very social, nice pool area also socials/events on every night.
Disliked: Original room was club side but switched would have struggled in a club side room. Also main club is only open on a Friday/Saturday

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.
