I had a fantastic stay at the hostel! The rooms were newly renovated and incredibly cozy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The free breakfast was a delightful surprise, featuring options like pancakes and yogurt. I loved the vibrant social scene with evening events and a lively bar. The only minor downside was the location being a bit farther from the main area, but it was manageable. Overall, a great value for the price!

I had a great experience at the hostel in Cairns. The beds were really comfortable and the atmosphere was perfect for meeting other travelers. However, there were a few cleanliness issues in the bathrooms and common areas that could be improved. Overall, the staff was friendly and the free breakfast was a nice perk, particularly with the pancakes and fresh ingredients.

I had a decent experience at the hostel with a mix of good and bad. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized, but I wish there were more facilities like a fridge and a chair. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the breakfast options, but the location was a bit confusing with multiple hostels. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there are areas that could be improved.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel! It was clean, quiet, and offered a great atmosphere. The spacious rooms and friendly staff made my experience even better. However, I did encounter a pushy sales tactic during check-in that made me a bit uncomfortable. Despite that, the overall amenities and activities available were enjoyable.

I found this hostel to be an excellent value for money, especially considering the fully air-conditioned 4-bed dorm I stayed in for just $16 a night. The place was quiet, clean, and well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay. The staff, particularly Anika, went above and beyond to help me with local activities, although I did notice some noise typical of a hostel environment. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely come back.
