Very good

Liked: Great communal areas!! Definitely the most beautiful ones I've seen in any hostel in Australia, very inviting to hang out at the pool or kitchen area, easy to get in contact with other travellers or just chill in one of the hammocks. Free sunscreen and mosquito repellent.Directly next to the Greyhound bus station, only short walk to the Esplanade. You can easily do everything by walking. Great cafe very close by (and co coffee). Easy after-hours check in.Very clean (just the bathroom floor is always wet).Free towels and pool towels.Overall great relaxed atmosphere - it's not a party hostel but still a social hostel, there are not so many hostels which manage to achieve the one without the other.And if you want to party there is still enough opportunity in Cairns.I would certainly stay here again, but there's definitely some room for improvement:
Disliked: The rooms are tiny! There is no space to put your luggage. Only very small boards at the walls next to the beds to put some stuff but definitely not enough place! No lockers, just very tiny safes. No curtains or lights at your bed.Could easily be improved with more boards / hangers and maybe curtains and lights!Same goes for bathrooms.. absolutely nowhere to put your stuff.. why not just install 2-3 boards in every bathroom? Takes no time at all, doesn't cost much, but improves the bathrooms a lot!Aircon at extra costs.. is mentioned in every second review of the place. It's not about the cost, it's just inconvenient. In the heat and humidity of Cairns there's really no other option than using aircon if you're staying in a 3square metre room with three other people..Just charge 1$ more per person/night and install a timer (without the payment system), so that aircons turn off after the set time.. same effect on saving energy as with the coins..Housekeeping starts at 9am.. so don't expect to be able to sleep in very long. Maybe only start at that time with rooms where nobody is in bed anymore..Not enough toilets close to your room.. was okay, but often a bit of a wait or checking 2-3 bathrooms.

lovely relaxing stay

Liked: It was very chilled out vibe which was perfect for the end of traveling the east coast. My private room had a fridge which was so helpful and a TV which was nice. Comfy bed too. Staff were lovely, always friendly and around keeping the hostel clean. Also a really pretty hostel with all the lights and lanterns etc, felt very comfortable there
Disliked: The only thing I’d say is to have another toilet by the upstairs rooms (if i’m being picky) and also to not have to pay for aircon as I think it should be included really, but other than that I loved everything

Liked: Everything was clean and you could see the love put into decorating.
