Pleasant

Liked: The Jack is a popular party spot in Cairns, great for meeting backpackers from Europe, Japan, and beyond. Social vibe is strong, but weekends can be tough — loud music and heavy bass from events make it hard to sleep. Not ideal if you have early morning plans, but perfect if you're here to party or short term stay.

Recommended!

Liked: The location is amazing and very central. We loved the fridge in the room. Bathrooms and showers are shared between girls and boys (it’d be great if there were separate toilets) but the rest of the hostal is amazing!
