Detailed Reviews
Me and my cousin have been backpacking Australia for the past 3 months and Cairns was our last stop. We stayed in Gillian’s for 3 nights. Overall, check-in was easy and the whole hostel was very big compared to some of the other ones we had stayed in. The kitchen was very clean too which is always a bonus. We stayed in a 6 bed female dorm with an en-suite so i’m not sure what the communal toilets were like. There was also a dressing room opposite our room with hairdryers and mirrors however it was closed the whole time we were there. There is a bar connected to the hostel which is a great way to meet people if you are solo travelling and you also get free entry as you are staying in the hostel. The bar also has different events on each night which is good fun. However, I would not recommend this hostel if you are not looking to go out in the night regularly as you can hear the music from the bar from some of the rooms throughout the evening.

The location is dead centre cairns city, the 4 bed dorm is good for a group. The kitchen on level 4 is lovely, although some other quests do not clean up after themselves. The pool is lovely & you can get discounts on food and drink in the bar.
The the aircon in the room cannot be controlled, we had to sleep in hoodies because it was so cold in the room.
There is then NO aircon in the communal areas, making it incredibly uncomfortable to cook or relax. There is not clothes horse for drying clothes. The music that plays every night until 3am can we heard in every room in the hostel! One of the bar waitresses was very rude, pass-remarkable, made personal comments (weight/clothing) and poorly mannered in general.

We stayed in two private rooms, the rooms were basic which we didn’t mind however our room smelt like mould/ mildew! The aircon is directly above the bed and you could see the mould and grime in it! Reception were helpful and welcoming! Would be a great spot for young people however we came across some younger back packers that also complained of the noise from the night club below! We couldn’t hear noise from our room a few floors up but it does seem to be well known for a party atmosphere and quite noisy. So if you want to get rest go elsewhere.. if you want to party in the heart of Cairns it’s perfect! It’s in a great location, walking distance to amazing restaurants and shops! We were there to do a scuba dive course so didn’t spend much time in the hostel itself! It was for sleeping only! It was affordable, but musty! There’s a kebab shop across the road for midnight feasts (huge kebabs) and Fettas the Greek restaurant a few doors down, amazing food and a must visit! Would recommend for those on a budget but beware of the musty aircon and a potentially noisey stay.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for our travel community. Some useful tips however, also a little misleading as you comment, "We couldn’t hear noise from our room" but then go on to advise guests to stay elsewhere if they want to rest. After coming out of the pandemic we ask that people are mindful when leaving reviews and remember they can be potentially damaging to businesses that have been lucky to survive the last 2 years. I am sure this was not your intention.

Good location in the city. Dorms were very modern with new shower room, toilet and wash basin area inside the room. Sleeping area was clean and tidy and there was a big balcony off the room which looked out over the city. Power socket at the bedside and lockers for your luggage. Big airconditioned common areas including kitchens, dining and lounge/tv rooms. Very social hostel with food and drink deals every night and activities in the outside bar. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. I was very happy at Gilligan's.

This spot is ideal for having fun with your friends while travelling. My friends and I stayed in a spacious private hotel room here. It is was very clean with a nice sized balcony, sound proof room and good facilities. It is good value for money in terms of price, in a prime location.
It is situated in a central location in Cairns and within walking distance to all main areas. Ross and the team at Gilligans Travel were great as they really helped us with booking our scuba/snorkel trip, the Uncle Brien's Cape Tribulation tour and the hotel rooms. There is entertainment in the bar at the hotel each night also so there is a buzzing atmosphere.
I would recommend this place especially the value for money with the private hotel room.

Great location! Close to the supermarket and right in the centre of Cairns, just a quick walk to Rusty’s Market, the Esplanade, and the Reef Terminal. Super convenient if you’re looking to explore the city without any hassle.
The hostel itself is pretty impressive. The rooms have ensuite bathrooms and balconies, as well as big kitchens and hangout areas. They’ve got plenty of tables and chairs where you can sit, eat, and chat. There’s also a travel store as part of the hostel with awesome recommendations and deals on activities. The bar throws fun pool parties and some massive nights out. Definitely planning to return!

My stay at Gilligan’s was a total blast! The pool area is fantastic—ideal for relaxing during the day and soaking up the sun. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed, they had some great tips on where to explore around Cairns. I loved the outdoor seating areas, perfect for unwinding with a drink and meeting other travellers.

My boyfriend and I had an unforgettable birthday weekend at Gilligan's Hotel and Resort! We travelled up from Sydney to escape the cold and found ourselves in the perfect spot. We booked a private room, which was on the 4th floor and was modern and incredibly comfortable.
Throughout the week, the bar was a hub of activity with something exciting happening every night. We even joined in the "cheerleading" contest on Wednesday – such a blast! The atmosphere was so inclusive, and we quickly made friends with another group of travellers who may now be friends for life.
We really enjoyed eating at the hotel most nights, especially when they had food specials. It made our stay even better. Plus, getting a discount on drinks by showing our room key was a nice bonus!
We stayed for 4 nights and loved every moment of it. I highly recommend Gilligan's for anyone looking to have a fantastic time in Cairns. We can't wait to come back!

I was super excited to stay at Gilligans after hearing great things about Cairns.
The hostel was clean and felt spacious. I was in an 8 bed room and I felt like we had plenty of space. The only thing was that there wasn’t a lot of locker space. I was staying in a room with people I knew and had been travelling the east coast with so I felt fine leaving my stuff unlocked but otherwise I would have felt abit uneasy. The social areas were clean and the pool/bar downstairs was great.
There was alot of noise in the hostel constantly. We could hear music from downstairs until 3/3:30am and it started again at 9am every night we were there. I didn’t mind because we knew gilligans for being a party hostel, but after 4 nights of this I was ready to leave and go somewhere quieter. I didn’t find it to be as sociable as other hostels as everyone seemed to be in groups and stuck to them. I was in a group so didn’t mind this too much but I think as a solo traveller I may have felt a little intimidated.
In all honesty I didn’t rate the staff. I thought the majority were quite rude (especially the female security guard and the bouncers for the club). I felt quite intimidated by them and the security guard came in to our room a few times unannounced to check for alcohol which none of us had in our bags anyway, and I haven’t experienced this in any other hostels up the east coast.
One of my friends was staying in Bounce just down the road and seemed to have a much more pleasant experience. I think I would probably look to stay elsewhere if I visited cairns again. Gilligans was okay but wouldn’t want to stay again if I didn’t have to.

Yeah of course
Just go to bay 6 at the domestic terminal between 8 am and 8pm
Just to clarify, they don't let you know it's a party hostel and they don't let you know you have the cheap rooms.
Booked a 3month trip down the east coast, this was one of the places the travel guide chose for us, so all the negative replies are not needed. You don't get a "what to really expect, for the price you pay at Gilligans" broacher, especially if your paying a lump sum amount for your whole trip.
I used headphones and ear plugs because I wasn't traveling alone and didn't want to segregate myself from friends.
But if they turned it down a bit and reduced the base, it wouldn't make a difference to anyone partying, unless of course their DJ is rubbish, but it's pretty empty most of the time, when I was there everyone was sitting outside.
