Exceptional

Would come back again, perfect...

Liked: Nice to hang out, kitchen well equiped, comfortable bed, quiet and good location (it takes you some time to walk to the beach but you‘re directly at the rail station and close to grocery stores, some museums and a market). Amazing host, who‘s very friendly, accomodating, available and helpful. Given that I arrived at midnight and there was room left, he upgradet me to a single bed dorm so as not to disturb the others sleeping in the dorm already.
Disliked: I was staying there twice and the upper bathroom/room were amazing (room 19s) but staying the second time on the lower floor (room 5) the room and bathroom had an odd smell to it. I‘m not sure whether it‘s due to the fact that it‘s harder to air there.

Good

Very nice place if you’re...

Liked: Really enjoyed our stay here. Felt very homely, despite it being a hostel it felt more like a hotel! Lovely pool area with big bean bags so plenty of space to chill out! Owner was lovely. Went out of his way on the last day of our stay to make sure we could get our clothes washing done on time! Very close to greyhound bus station
Disliked: No bins in the rooms and sometimes a little wait for the bathroom. Nothing major though, all things that are manageable!

Great place to stay ..

Liked: I absolutely loved my stay here. The place is super chill and comfy. Great staff, great facilities, no bunk beds and a really homely feeling. Really good seating areas dotted around the place, nice pool and towels available on request. Is there anything better in Cairns... absolutely not !
Disliked: Loved everything

Superb

Liked: I loved this hostel. It was so peaceful and lovely. Felt like a little sanctuary.

Amazing hostel especially for longer...

Liked: This hostel feels like a real home rather than a sterile dorm for the masses. There’s lots of common areas that are well equipped and decorated, inviting you to spend time there. There’s 2 kitchens that are fully equipped and clean. The rooms are very cosy and everyone has their own single bed. With all the windows and the fans you don’t even need the AC. The bathrooms are clean and spacious. Late check-in was super easy as well.
Disliked: The only thing I can think of is that the plugs are in the middle of the room and not right at each bed. There’s also only one shower and toilet for upstairs so you might have to wait for your turn to use them.
