1. Both the front desk and the staff are very friendly. Kathy will help solve the demands you put forward. There is a very nice young lady at the front desk. When you don't know the place, she will take you there in person. A slightly older staff member sees that you are going downstairs to check out and helps take the luggage down the stairs. It makes people feel very warm here. 2. The rooms, toilets and kitchens are tidied up very cleanly. 3. This accommodation is arranged very warmly. 4. The check-in and check-out processes are arranged in an orderly manner and you can handle them by yourself. 5. The bed and the quilt are comfortable to sleep in.

Honestly the best hostel in Cairns. The staff there is super nice and welcoming And they always make sure the hostel is clean at all times. The general vibe there is great, so if youre a solo traveler its the perfect place to meet some new friends but also not a super party hostel so you can get your quiet times as well. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and everything was well-organized. A special thank you to Carmen and Javi at the reception — they were incredibly kind, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, offering great tips and assistance whenever I needed it. I truly appreciate their warm hospitality and will definitely recommend this place to other travelers

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
