    Everything is perfect tbh, just sometimes if you need to go to the reception, you will need to wait around 20 minutes as sometimes is only 1 person there, which can make you wait too much time for a little thing. Overall is perfect ✌️

    10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
    As a YHA accomodation, the spirit of community is prominent here. I stayed 4 nights in a queen bed room, and the room, the bathroom, the towels provided are all very clean, I could stay and use everything with peace of mind. Cairns Central shopping mall is just opposite, and behind the mall is Central railway station where the Kuranda scenic rail departs. It's around 15-20 mintues walk to the ferry terminal, but shared rental e-scooters are readily available outside the door. The only down side is that the room door gap is not sealed, and so outside noise gets into the room quite readily, and every morning I gets waken up quite early (6'ish) by people's talking, or the garbage truck clearing the bins, or some vehicle noise. But overall I love the place and would stay there again.
    6.8 / 10Average·Sep 2026
    The staff were kind and helpful, and the kitchen and showers were good. The hostel was quiet, but the dark grey linen and deck made it feel less tropical and welcoming than I’d expected. My bed didn’t have a light or a charging point, and the laundry facilities seemed run-down, with dryers that weren’t working. The staff’s kindness made up for some of the downsides, but the place didn’t have the hostel vibe I was looking for. I wouldn’t stay again. Sources
