Stayed here for 4 nights in the beginning of May, stayed in a 4 bed dorm room with friends for $25 AUD per person, per night. This was my first time staying at a hostel, so my expectations were not very high. The room was basic, just 4 beds, a mirror, and a small 2 level shelf to put some... more

Travellers Oasis was the perfect place for us to start our trip around Queensland. The room and the baths (shared) were o.k. and the staff was helpful and superfriendly. They organised as everything - a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and a roundtrip with a rented car to the Atherton Tablelands and Cape Tribulation. more

We split our stay between two places in Cairns and originally stayed on the Esplanade, which was too long a walk to the Lagoon and city. After switching to Travellers Oasis, we were much happier with the convenience of the location. Anna was extremely friendly when we first got there, and the hostel also gives a few coupons for meal... more

We arrived at the hostel late at night and picked up our keys from a pre arranged location and let ourselves into our room for the night. Our room was basic and bedding smelt of damp but other than that it was ok. This place was not to our taste, however we could see the appeal to the typical backpacker... more

This hostel has everything you want a good hostel to have and none of the bad bits! The staff were overly kind, friendly and welcoming. The facilities are perfectly good for any hostel (kitchens, aircon, fridges, pool, pick up from the airport etc). The staff know everyones name whether you are there for a day or a month, they know... more

We stayed here for 3 nights when we arrive in Australia and we were very impressed with the standards of the hostel. We had a double room which had its own fridge, fan and aircon. The room was very clean with decent bedding- no stains or bleach marks. The shared areas were well maintained and were always being cleaned. The... more

Stayed here in November 2008 and can't recommend it highly enough. The phrase 'clean and comfortable accommodation' doesn't always go hand in hand with a hostel, but this place bucks the trend. It's a lovely place to stay and the folks that worked there helped us out with planning trips etc and just generally made us feel welcome. I'm looking... more

This hostel does what it says on the tin - it really is an oasis, both in Cairns and compared to other hostels. As an independent hostel they have gone all out on trying to make the place feel like a home from home. When we arrived after hours we were given a hand-drawn personalised map to our room which... more

The place was just perfect in every sense! Not only clean but very neat with great attention to details. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the dorms were not too big (no bunks). It is located next to the railway station and a 5-10 min walk away from the town centre. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all... more
