Fun but chilled place to stay

We had a good stay here. The vibe is very chilled with lots of nice places to chill inside and out, including a cosy camper. The aircon required dollars putting in it every three hours. Kitchens are kept clean and everyone was super friendly and sociable on the evenings.

There are nicer hostels in Cairns

Nice common area but Too dirty in the bathroom for my liking. Also I missed out on the included breakfast because staff didn’t inform were and how to get it. Then it was too late as I ate my own food. A bit noisy at night. I’m not coming back

すばらしいホステルでした。他の滞在者やスタッフと交流ができて、６歳の子どもも楽しかったようです。 エアコンが課金制、うるさい、部屋に蟻が出る。など、ありましたが、それもホステルだと思えば、そんなものかとおもいました。キッチンは毎日綺麗に掃除され、シャワーも清潔でした。朝食も簡単な物が食べられるので、助かりました。

Preisgünstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit Cairns

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal! Zimmer waren OK aber nicht sonderlich sauber und Bettzeug / Kissen schon etwas älter. Es gab kleine Krabbeltiere im zimmer und Badezimmer. Gemeinschaftsbereich sehr gemütlich

ゴキブリと泥酔客

不快だった点は２点。１つ目は、ゴキブリが部屋に出たこと。かなり大きかったです。２つ目は、酔っぱらって喚きながらこちらの壁やドアをたたいてくる女性がおり就寝時目が覚めました。24時半あたりでした。どちらもユースホステルならあり得る話ですが、１日の夜にどちらも１人で体験するとかなりショックでした。

Although the hostel is not closed to city centre, it takes around 20 minutes walk to the Wharf. The staff is super nice and will give you a lot of tips what you see and what you do in Cairns. The bed is clean, but it is no mirror on the upstairs bathroom.

A nice hostel for a good price

Staff is awesome! Main downfall is Wi-fi doesn't work in bedrooms. Room was small but the bed was comfortable and there was a table, chair & nice ceiling fan. Air Con is self pay, but cheap. Beer available on site is cheap. Multiple kitchens & hang out areas that are cozy. Pool on site. In a quieter part of town, but not a bad walk to the lagoon. I would book again.

不錯的青年旅館

地點在搭前往庫蘭達熱帶雨林的火車站附近，離市中心步行可到，算是方便。員工熱情活潑，設施應有盡有，只是晚上十點冰箱上鎖到第二天早上快八點才開的規定，造成第二天早上出門無法取用，只好不拿或食物不放冰箱，感覺很不方便外，其餘算是不錯的青年旅館。照片是員工特地介紹的免費游泳池，不是住宿設施，但非常值得去
