Corona is really nice friends and I stayed for a month and everyone is very friendly, staff is really nice, they keep it clean and it's a really good price! Good location, right across from Gilligans but still a quiet hostel so you can sleep for those of you who are not partiers, highly recommend checking it out!

I think the price is the cheapest you can get anywhere, and it was really value for money. We had the aircon room, which was really helpful because of the heat, plus closing the windows helps keep out noise from gilligan's to some extent. Aircon was noisy. Earplugs are recommended though. The place was very clean and better than I... More

Cheapest rooms we've found anywhere so really can't complain. Bathrooms got dirty at times and the set up of the showers was a bit inconvenient and also some rooms didn't get any daylight at all but overall the place was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly and the location was the best,so would def stay again!

The hostel was okay, fine to stay in for a couple of nights but not much more! They didn't have air conditioning, so the rooms were boiling hot in January! Reception was closed from 12-4pm which was incredibly annoying as our flight into Cairns landed at 11:45. We had to hang around for 4 hours with our luggage waiting to... More

Only let down was the rude older guy on reception afternoons on weekend. Great location. Free meal of money off voucher every night, just have to... More

Pro's: very clean! The guy that works reception is funny and does the job well. Room is big. Best shower!! Good van in bedroom. Location is perfect. Con's: reception closed from 12-4. Not that many showers but i had no problem with waiting at all, maybe it wasnt fully booked. Not an exciting living room/kitchen.

Corona's is very well put together. I was wary because of all the mixed reviews but people do have bad days and some expect more than others so here's where I'm coming from so you know if this review is helpful to you or not: I'm female, 21, I like to party but I also love to sleep without noise...

Stayed there for 2 nights. There was very little management or organization, I was unable to book a week as I had intended but instead had to try to extend my stay in the morning. The travel desk has 20% discounts on tours and the most expensive room was A$20.
