We booked this place because Lonely Planet said it had a strict quiet policy, only to find out that wasn't the case. No one is on duty after 8pm so everyone does whatever they want. Although the TV was turned off, someone was drinking at the door until 2 o'clock in the morning. Every morning, there is a mountain of dirty dishes in the kitchen. There was a bunch of punks here when we checked in, and if the staff wasn't there, they started to rebel. It takes 15-20 minutes to walk to the city from here. There is free dinner here. The room was spacious and clean, and the staff was nice. Overall, if we come here next time, we will change the place and spend more money to get a good sleep.

Really a last resort. Facilities are filthy and maintained at such a low standard. None of the bathrooms are clean, hardly ever any toilet paper. No space in ANY of the fridges in all 3 kitchens, and extremely unreliable WiFi that was only available for half a day. I wish I had something nice to say but I truly don't understand why this place is even still running. If you can afford to and if there is any other place in Cairns to stay, go there instead of City Backpackers. Really disappointing:(

I was not happy with this hostel at all. On arrival, I thought that my room was pre-paid, and was shocked when the lady on reception told me this was not the case. I could not connect to the hostel Wi-Fi to check my bank balance so had to go to a shopping centre to check. I saw that I could not afford the bill to stay for the 4 nights, so I sent an e-mail straight away to let them know I could not afford to stay so not to expect me. Later on that night, they still charged the full balance on my bank card and I had to go through ******* to get a refund. Had I not been given a refund, I would have struggled to feed myself for the rest of my holiday as I am on a budget. I found the staff members very rude and unhelpful.
