Ira Verena “Best hostel in Cairns”
01 Nov 2025
The best hostel I‘ve ever stayed at! I stayed here for 5 months and there’s nothing to complain about. Very central location, clean sanitary rooms, the kitchen is clean and on the rooftop! The staff is great and always helpful. Would definitely recommend this hostel!
Anastasiia “Amazing price quality for a room for two”
26 Oct 2025
The room for two almost felt like a hotel! Very clean, with airco working well (essential in Cairns climate). Price quality this is by far the best we could find in Cairns
