Stayed in cairns 5 nights and loved it here! YHA in great location but quieter compared to nearby backpackers. Walking distance to waterfront lagoon and Gilligan's party nightclub next block over. Nice pool in middle of rooms makes it easy to meet other people. The staff are amazing and will give you lots of information on things to do and see. I recommend to everyone. Make sure if you have a car to book a car spot with reception otherwise you park on the street.

This was the first hostel I stayed in in Australia and it was wonderful. I stayed in a 4 bed female dorm which was super clean and had an ensuite which was handy! The kitchen was really big and clean and there were lots of seating areas to help you meet other travellers. It is close to the lagoon and right opposite the shopping centre which is handy for the supermarket. The hostel does different events each night too which is a great way to meet people and the free pancakes at breakfast are fab. If you're looking for a hostel in Cairns this is the one!

We stayed for 4 nights in November. Overall very good experience. Nice clean rooms, laundry and kitchen facilities, Wifi (charged separately), swimming pool and good value. The front office staff were very friendly and welcoming, providing us with good travel advice and support. The hostel also arranged for free airport pick up in a shuttle bus.

I stayed in a double private room and the room was perfect for my needs. It is a small room and it did have some ants but that is to be expected in the tropics. The staff was very friendly and the environment was welcoming. People are out and about in common locations but it is also quiet enough to get some sleep. The kitchen was clean and accessible. I would definitely suggest this to other people.
