The place is extremely clean and very spacious. My room was cool and the bed was comfortable. The other guests were nice when they were around (most people seem to spend their time out and about or in their rooms).

All hostels in Palm Cove

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.
