The instructions for late check-in were very clear. The room was clean and relatively quiet. The location is right in the city center, making it convenient to get everywhere. The atmosphere was also good.

Great environment, convenient transportation, and excellent service. The air conditioning was powerful, and the front desk staff were very friendly.

Clean and tidy. Great staff and the kitchen is generally really clean. Great if you are looking for a quieter hostel and not such a party one.

This hostel offers standard facilities, including a large kitchen. The rooms are small with basic amenities and air conditioning. The kitchen and bathrooms could be cleaner. The courtyard has a small pool and plenty of tables and chairs, making it a great spot for young people to socialize. My room's door lock was faulty and couldn't be fixed even after half a day, so I was moved to a different room on the second day. There was a mix-up because the power outlets were in different locations in the two rooms, and I couldn't find them at first. The staff and supervisor on the check-in day were very helpful. However, the staff member who handled my room change was quite slow and unhelpful. I had to pack all my belongings and carry all my bags to the office to complete the room change. I stood there with heavy bags while she slowly processed everything on the computer for over ten minutes. Just as I turned around to find a place to put my luggage, she said it was done. Then, once I was in the new room, I couldn't find the power outlets, which really put me in a bad mood.

• room: clean bedsheets and pillows, clean AC filters and overall a compact functioning double room. Even though the room was nearby the stairs I did not hear noise from people passing by and had a good sleep

• shared bathroom was cleaned meticulously.

• amenities: they have a pool which is really nice and the inner courtyard is quite comfortable and has space to interact with other guests as well to just chill

• location: 15 min taxi from the airport (only way to go to the airport) 10 min walk from the train station and 15 min walk to the seaside. There are few restaurants and a supermarket in front of the hostel

• staff: kind an supportive

my background: I travel 320 days a year since 8 years staying in all range of accomodation from hostel to 5star. I just review objectively what I see with no judgement

6:50 tonight, order meal deal, get told there are no fries, but we can do onion rings, so I say ok to that. Waiting for my meal I notice that there is an 80c charge for onion rings on my docket. When my food is delivered, I ask about the charge and the Duty manager says Yes, we charge for that, I ask then what about the meal deal with NO fries, so no substitution. Asked for my money back and he says, what the 80c? Got it all back and left, terrible customer service, and they were probably doing that all day. What a rip off.

In the foodhall top level of Cairns central.Got all the usual but always seems something is not available, broken down or awaiting a fix. Good young staff are polite and do their best.

I was served by some very grumpy female teenager there today. Customer service? What is a customer service? Nobody bothered to explain to that girl on the drinks about manners

Really quick, hot and fresh!
21.09.2017 Clarisse
Had to pay $4 for some hot water to heat my baby's bottle when I was willing to pay for a drink for myself. I also gave the container for the water, which returned dirty. When asked to clean the supervisor rolled her eyes at me.

I've had the worst service in here. Thanks for your lady manager. I just asked an extra cup when I got me meal. If it's not acceptable thing, I'm very sorry. That was the worst face and service I ever had. Thanks again to your RACIST lady manager
