Liked: Free breakfast. Storage lockers in room

Disliked: Although they advertised air-conditioning, the unit in my room barely cooled the room. It was usually cooler outside than inside my room.

Liked: Awesome hostel, lots of free stuff during your stay (best breakfast yet!), the cleanest hostel (along with Cool Bananas in 1770) yet, will stay here again when I'm back in Cairns

Disliked: free wifi available but once hostel is full not everyone can get online and you have to wait for them to reboot the server (to kick everyone out) or wait for the backpackers to go out partying to use the internet

Liked: Its in a fab location, close enough to the centre and bars etc but far enough away to avoid the noise! Its a really friendly laid back hostel and really easy to meet people there. Anna on the travel/tour desk deserves particular mention - book everything through her - she really knows her stuff and couldn't be more helpful.

Phillip North

18 September 2009 Phillip would recommend this property

Liked: This is easily the best, nicest hostel I've stayed in down the east coast of Australia. The staff are all great, the dorms are the best I've slept in - all en suite, fridges in rooms, very clean. The common area is a great place to relax on a sofa, meet people, and do everything else. I hardly spent time in my room here. The free internet is pretty slow, but it's still free! I seriously recommend this place to everyone going to Cairns, you just can't beat it.
