Amazing sums up this whole place, the rooms were clean the staff was super helpful and very kind they went out of their way to make sure you had all you needed, or where to go get it. The kitchen was clean and organized, very spacious and every one using it was respectful of others. The grocery store was walking distance and had all you could want, along with the markets close by. The AC worked, but was not needed.

Great hostel

A great experience. Rented a 3 bed apartment. Straight forward room. Pool. Laundry facilities. Staff very friendly. Plenty of chance to cook your own food or go into town. Great Location. Not the cheapest of hostels but the location is good so maybe why.

I really enjoyed my stay hear, it was very clean and quite. The Staff was very welcoming and helpful especially Zenon he was very helpful at recommending activities to do around the area and overall a great person to have a conversation with. The other staff were really helpful as well. I definitely would stay here again if ever find myself in Cairns.

Excellent quiet hostel that will make you feel at home!! The staff are all very friendly and the smaller size definitely makes it feel more homey. Would recommend if you are looking for a hostel to call "home" while you are away!

A little Cairns diamond of an accommodation

Great value and good amenities here. However it’s the super friendly and helpful staff that elevate this place above your typical hostel or hotel. We had an issue with our room and it was resolved quickly and beyond expectations (thanks Zenon!), don’t hesitate to stay here.
