Liked: Excellent hostel! The manager and staff were the nicest people you will meet in your trip to Cairns. she is very helpful and gives you a full tour on spots you need to go see. she encourages everyone to sit down and have breakfast together and you get to know everyone! Go to this hostel.....you will not regret it!
