29 November 2009	Customer review Free bowl of food every night!! Bar is always lively!! Pool is lovely!!! Facilities have been fine no probs!!!	100%

02 November 2009	Katharine Larkin It was so clean and the room had a balcony. Right above the nightclub though, which is banging 7 days a week so I moved to a quieter hostel!	90%

30 August 2009	Benjamin Stephens It can get loud at night, but it's a huge fun place to be. THere's a large kitchen on every floor, en-suite bathrooms, and a TV lounge on every floor, although there are only 6 channels and no DVD player. There's not much going on that's outside the bar, so there were no movie nights or anything like that, but there's a small fake beach and waterfall, plus the nightclub. The beds are big and comfortable, but there were no lockers in my room.	95%

01 August 2009	michelle jessop how it was more like a resort than a hostel, the fact that each room had its own bathroom, each floor its own kitchen and clean, comfortable bedding. loved the pool and the decking looking over it. only complaint was we couldnt work out how to turn down the aircon and i froze up on the top bunk! i have already recommended gilligans to other mates going up north and was blown away by the value for money (free meals with a drink!) and the help we hot from the girl in the tourist info section in organizing our holiday	85%

28 July 2009	Customer review It was great great great great to stayed at Gilligians, they got a super nice club there, cool DJ and easy to meet ppl. The location is super!! it's ln the city and take less than few mins walk , u can find all u need around ! We stayed at a 4 beds room and the window cannot be opened which makes the room a lil smelly, anyway the room is clean and facilites are enough for wht u need. Gilligans made us come back to Cairns for holidays next year coz we reli love the club there!!hahah	97%
