    Pleasant
    Disappointed, room not as advertised
    The location is right next to esplanade, lagoon, markets and shops! But there is also a lot of people hanging around outside the area late at night which I didnt like it is secure though as you have a code to enter
    I was super disappointed with the room we booked it was totally different to the images and I dont agree with them using pictures of more expensive or higher upgrade rooms in place of what we actually booked. Breakfast was also poor, just bread and some random cereals. I expected more from this hostel because the reviews!

    Pleasant enough and a good location, shame people didnt clean up after themselves.
    Good hostel in a good location to explore Cairns from. The facilities were good, nice showers with plenty of space. Our room was also spacious with a decent bed. The breakfast included was also decent! Plenty of space for eating meals and the balcony was great to enjoy breakfast on.
    The kitchen was small and at times got extremely busy! Wasnt much fridge space either. Also, probably due to the other guest staying there, the kitchen was quite dirty.

    Great experience
    Very clean rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. Great location. Freezing cold AC. Exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was included in price, and there were a few events which includes free lunch, free pancakes etc
    The only issue was that we could not figure how to turn off AC or increase temperatures, although to be fair, we never asked the staff about it

    Very good
    Great vibe and super comfortable
    Really helpful and accommodating staff, the ac in my private room was dripping on me so they moved me to a new room as soon as one became available and it was very comfortable!
    Bathrooms could use a little update/could have been a bit cleaner but we're solid. Also balcony was amazing but wish there were screens to prevent the birds from coming in.

    Superb
    Great location, staff, clean and worth a stay (short or long term).
    Location is great! Close to everything. We stayed during Cyclone Jasper and felt very safe in the building due to it being high rise and secure. Breakfast was great every morning (pancakes too on Tuesdays). Lots of places to hangout and chill (especially when we couldn't go out during the cyclone). Wifi was strong all the time. Kitchen and bathrooms very clean. Aircon/fans in the room were great.
    Few ants/bugs in the female level 1 bathrooms. Pillows were quite flat which were uncomfortable to sleep on.
