Recommend do not stay at this Hostel.

Nil

This Hotel booking arrangements were the worst I have ever experienced. After making the booking/payment on-line I swapped e-mails with the establishment and as foreshadowed arrived at 2pm to be told room not available till 3pm. On returning I provided my details and Driver's License as ID - only to be told they would not accept a booking from anyone living in Queensland - the basis of this rational was never clearly stated. The Hostel declined to refund my payment and declined to provide any assistance (other than name of one other hotel but not its address) to find another room at 3pm on Easter Monday - being a busy time. After a long walk I found another hotel, staying the night without incident. I consider the bahaviour totally unacceptable - if the prohibition on all Queenslander's is justified, it should be clearly stated as part of the reservation. As a holder of Genious status, I have never been subject to such treatment. I forwarded an e-mail to Booking.com outlining the situation yesterday morning - unclear if will receive a response. Regards Paul Bawden

Perfect location but just OK for the short stay.

Great location - just in front of the lagoon and besides the night market, so plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Well equipped kitchen and nice lounge with small pool. Self check-in is a great option for the late arrival.

My single room was very small and had no window. Air con was old and very noisy. My bed sheet had stains on it (it was changed next day though when I asked). Common areas is too hot and some renovation would be good.

Passable

The owner was very nice and quick to respond to any problems. Location is very good. We can access the night market and sea side soon.

Some guests were making noise in the kitchen even late at night (1 AM)

Would consider staying again, but would be prepared eg. bring own soap, tea, coffee ...

The location was excellent

I think it's a hostel trying to be both a hostel and a hotel, which is fine but still a bit of work to do on the hotel bit. For example, my room did not have soap, just some hand wash and the pillows were on their last legs. There were no tea/coffee making facilities or mini fridge in the room but these were available in the shared kitchen

Great short stay in the center of Cairns

Great location, nice facilities, excellent self check in

Worst pillow possible No windows in the room, and aircon is directly out in the corridor, making it very hot outside the room

Very good

Clean, chill, calm, enough space good people, good shower laundry ... Perfect place to relax, just in the center of Cairns but very quiet place if you want to sleep, big clean swimming pool.

Maybe we need more stuff in the kitchen like more pans

Poor

No where to park the car. Extremely old pillow and very flat. Hate to think how many used it over the years before me. Airconditioning not working in one room. Working in another room but took all night to cool the room down. Very hot and stuffy.

Nice location, newly furnished room.

No noise isolation in the room and other guests did not keep the quiet hours, some days we could hardly get any sleep, our properly labelled food got stolen from the fridge. We paid a similar price to some nearby hotels four our deluxe room - so not even a good 'value for money' place.

good value for location

fab location with good facilities all you need for short or long stays. rooms are basic but again all you need and spacious can tell travellers are who opened this

aircon or more fans in common areas would be better, not really the staffs fault but other guests leave common areas filthy.. bathrooms could be cleaner and rooms are a little damp. hard to know who is staff and who is staying. app is good when it works but could do with more info on check in for the app
