Great location in the middle of town. Private beds w light and charging facilities built in
“Great budget stay”
12 Jul 2025
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!

Ture “Cozy and chill hostel on the esplanade”
15 Jun 2025
Pod like, comfy and wide beds so we both fit in one. The rooms are pretty small with up to 6 people in each, with great noise cancellation from the outside. Great friendly guests, and calm areas thanks to the hostels relatively small size. Most workers were backpackers living there, which was nice. Really comfy pool area, with sofas and a hammock. People like to sing and make music some evenings or while cooking, good atmosphere.
