We loved our stay as everything was perfect, barring our room. The private room (with balcony) where we stayed didn't have any wardrobe, and they never cleaned our room even once in 5 days. We have stayed in private rooms of hostels across the world. Everywhere our rooms were cleaned every day. I have no idea why this property has such a weird policy. I wonder what they would do if someone stay there for more days. Secondly, after paying so much more than staying in a dorm, there was no wardrobe to keep our clothes. Hence, we somehow managed it in the small room that was allocated to us. There was no space for keeping our 2 suitcases and we had to struggle every day to take our clothes out. But I must admit that the people working there were super nice and helpful. My request to the management would be to look into the aspects that I shared above as the private room cost was too high and hence it should have the basic amenities and facilities. I hope to get a response about the room from the management, and they don't evade the issue that I highlighted.

Great hostel. Rooms with comfortable beds and plenty of space to store your belongings. New and well-maintained bathrooms. The common areas are excellent, with a large kitchen and a stunning rooftop balcony right above the lagoon. Great value for money.

The room was very clean and tidy when we arrived, the kitchen is cleaned every day and there is so much space in the kitchen. When we arrived our bags were lost on our flight so we had nothing. The lady behind reception was so helpful and let us go through lost and found and take anything we needed, she then washed and dried this for us free of charge. From having a very stressful day to being put at ease so easily, we could not thank her enough. Highly recommend.

First of all crazy good location. This is right where you want to be in Cairns When taking in consideration that this is a hostel it is very good. We had a private room with bathroom for 2 nights Very clean and modern, with great Wi-Fi connection. The hostel also had special deals at local bars and restaurants. We got a coupon for dinner and a drink for 12$ at the local Irish pub. And here we are even talking big and good portions of food and wine… They had a big kitchen and a nice terrace with a great view Can recommend this place even if you are not the typical hostel type

Excellent location. No pool but directly across from the lagoon. Quite clean, lots of bathrooms. Not a lot of common spaces but the kitchen and lounge with the balcony were excellent. Despite being the only kitchen it never got too busy. The wifi didn’t work very well in the evenings. The dorms desperately need shelves or large lockers. No baggage fits under the bed and it was cramped with bags spread across the floor.

We booked a private double which was clean, comfortable with a nice ensuite! We loved the location and despite it being on the main ***** of bars and restaurants it was very quiet in the room. We also loved the balcony in the kitchen which looked out across the ocean. We didn't use the kitchen but it was very well equipped. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Cairns! The discounted food and drinks in a couple of restaurants was very much appreciated!
