Lilly “Superb”
25 Mar 2026
The hostel has a really welcoming, family-like atmosphere. It’s very clean and the rooms are well equipped. The beds are designed like pods, each with its own curtain, light, power outlet, and fan, which gives you a lot of privacy and comfort. Both the guests and the staff are very friendly. I especially want to mention Kevin and Laura, the night managers, who quickly helped me out when I had an issue with my door code late at night.
Hannah “Great budget stay”
19 Jan 2026
Great budget stay at an ideal location in Cairns. The bed was comfy. The aircon seemed cold at first but I appreciated it after a long day out. I liked the door code system as you don’t need to carry around a key. Staff were friendly. My room was quiet at night. I’d stay here again!
