Really cant fault JJ's for anything but the icing on the cake is the staff. The most friendly team and owners you could hope to stay with. Dinner nights, great guests and good facilities. Free ride's into town, pick ups from the airport and activity evenings planned. I've been to hostels all over Australia and New Zealand and this one... More

I've had an incredible time at JJ's, a very relaxed atmosphere, GREAT staff! Fire shows and BBQ's organised by reception, and a free ride into town! A little bit further away from the CBD, but I like that its not right in the city, gives it that chilled out vibe. Overall one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at,... More

I stayed there for a week or more. I felt very very well. Friendly people, good accomodation, clean and comforteble. They helped me about organisation my trip and was so beautifull. If I'll go back in Cairn, in the future, i'llgo in JJ's!!

This is a great place, with great services. The staff are just lovely and so willing to help, particularly Emily. Great bus service to the centre of Cairns. The only thing I would criticize is the mirror in the bedroom. I'm 5ft 2 and it was too high for me. Seems ridiculous to mention but can be tricky when doing... More

Really chilled, friendly hostel. Staff were excellent, in particular Emily who was super friendly, gave us some great recommendations and even remembered our names when we returned a week later! Not a central location, which was a bit.annoying - the 20 min walk to town centre would have been lovely if it hadnt been 40 degrees!! But there is a... More

Such friendly staff. Great location. The owners are really warm & funny & lovely. Great recommendations & discounts on trips in and around the area. A great place to base yourself whilst exploring the north east & barrier reef. Brilliant bbqs & social events. So so friendly. I'd go back in a heartbeat!
