Definitely one of the better hostels I’ve stayed in while travelling Australia. However, front desk reception lady was quite rude when checking in. Food and service in the restaurant/bar was shocking. But very clean, good showering facilities, good kitchen facilities, and comfortable beds.

Not really deluxe room the 4 bed but it was a bed for couple night. A lot quieter than some of the other rooms though. Just lack of plugs in the room which makes no sense.

it's quite clean, the service is good, and it's very convenient to eat around. Next time I come to Cairns, I will stay in Cairns. The surrounding bars are very lively！
