I stayed at Nomads on a stop over on my way to Weipa. I booked a double bed with separate shower online for $72 and wasn't expecting anything flashy. The free shuttle picks up from the international terminal and took 20 mins just note that the return trip is not free and a $10 fee is payable. The check in... More

I only stayed one night here as we had a late flight into Cairns. They were very friendly about checking us in at midnight and the room was fine, despite a few stains on the carpet. Breakfast was toast and tea/coffee but there was an option to buy other stuff if you wanted. We left the next morning but I... More

Located outside of central Cairns, with frequent shuttle to town. Single room was clean and comfortable. There also an airport shuttle ($10). The restaurant was OK. If you want A/C you have ask the front desk to turn it on in your room. No phone or free WIFI in the room. Nice pool in tropical setting. Not a bad place... More

I was very pleased with my stay at this hostel, very well organized, clean ,friendly staff and loads to do. it is a 30 mins walk from town centre but they have an hourly free shuttle that also picks you up at the airport. I stayed in a 6 beds female dorm, beds are clean and comfy.

When we got here for our 2 nights stay in a 6 bedded mixed dorm room, we tried to check in but the staff took about 10 minutes to sort our room out, they seemed a bit grumpy and not very easy to talk too, the rooms were nice and big, plenty of space to store bags and lockers that... More

After reading all the bad reviews on here, i was a bit dubious about staying here. But i'm glad i didn't cancel my booking because we ended up having the best time here. We stayed for a week and it was one of the best weeks we spent in Australia. We met some amazing friends who we are still in... More

I expected better from Nomads thats why i was a bit dissapointed. +: airconditioning in rooms worked well, swimmingpool is big and openingtimes are good. Free shuttlebus to town, although not often enough. -: free breakfast is 2 toast p.p. and you cant even get it yourself, breakfast time is till 9. Free evening meal is only if you spend... More

I arrived in Cairns for the second time during my stay in Cairns. Previously I stopped in a hostel which shall not be named, but it was awful. As I had stopped in previous Nomads I decided to give this one a go. To put it bluntly, best choice I have made. This hostel is brilliant. I got picked up... More

Twin room and en-suite were nothing flash, but at 60$ a night we were not expecting miracles. Staff were patient friendly and helpful. Having to get air con managed through the office was a little annoying, but reasonable given it is a backpackers. Bar and outdoor facilities quite good, would stay there again.
