Nice if you want quiet...
Liked: Different kitchen and bathroom, nice private room (dorms too if it’s for few nights). Good location to be near central but a bit far from the esplanade
Disliked: If you want to party or stay up late, not the best place to go as you have to be quiet around 10pm. But still good to relax!

Passable
Liked: Basic for short stay, decent location not being too far away from central cairns
Disliked: Slight misunderstanding about the room as was described as having a private bathroom however when got there there was only an individual shower in the room no toilet, so had to use a shared one the other end of the hostel. Also, lots of bugs in the room and in surrounding areas in addition to a smell each time entering the room (damp mould smell) that had to be gotten rid of with air con.
