The room was very clean and tidy when we arrived, the kitchen is cleaned every day and there is so much space in the kitchen. When we arrived our bags were lost on our flight so we had nothing. The lady behind reception was so helpful and let us go through lost and found and take anything we needed, she then washed and dried this for us free of charge. From having a very stressful day to being put at ease so easily, we could not thank her enough. Highly recommend.

First of all crazy good location. This is right where you want to be in Cairns When taking in consideration that this is a hostel it is very good. We had a private room with bathroom for 2 nights Very clean and modern, with great Wi-Fi connection. The hostel also had special deals at local bars and restaurants. We got a coupon for dinner and a drink for 12$ at the local Irish pub. And here we are even talking big and good portions of food and wine… They had a big kitchen and a nice terrace with a great view Can recommend this place even if you are not the typical hostel type

I had an overall good experience at this hostel but the rooms were uncomfortably warm & damp. Not sure if that reflects an issue with the ventilation/air conditioning on 1st floor or it's just the reality of living in the tropics in general, but it greatly affected the quality of my sleep. At the very least, it would be helpful to prohibit the use of strongly scented perfumes in the dorm rooms and/or allow the dorm doors to remain open during the day to make the air more breathable. The pricing was very reasonable for everything that was included & the central location. I was impressed at how clean & available the bathrooms were. I also thought the staff & night manager were nice & helpful. Would highly recommend if you can tolerate the humidity.

Excellent location. No pool but directly across from the lagoon. Quite clean, lots of bathrooms. Not a lot of common spaces but the kitchen and lounge with the balcony were excellent. Despite being the only kitchen it never got too busy. The wifi didn’t work very well in the evenings. The dorms desperately need shelves or large lockers. No baggage fits under the bed and it was cramped with bags spread across the floor.

We booked a private double which was clean, comfortable with a nice ensuite! We loved the location and despite it being on the main ***** of bars and restaurants it was very quiet in the room. We also loved the balcony in the kitchen which looked out across the ocean. We didn't use the kitchen but it was very well equipped. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Cairns! The discounted food and drinks in a couple of restaurants was very much appreciated!

Kim was really outstanding in her service. I had accidentally booked into a mixed dorm that was full of males, and when she knew I was coming for a funeral, she went absolutely above and beyond to accommodate me. I ended up having a room to myself with waterfront views. This is not the norm, so I was ever so appreciative. Apart from that I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the building is perfectly situated and surrounded by cool things to see and do. Thanks Global. I’ll be back again. 😘
