This was the perfect choice for us to stay in Cairns. The private rooms are well air conditioned and clean, the pool area and kitchen were ok and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Its about 5 minutes walk along the seafront to the centre which makes it a nice quiet area and theres a great little cafe out... More

And finally there s not the carpet! The position is perfect very close to the centre but with out the noise of the pub..a real... More

I am not your normal backpacker customer. I wanted a quiet room where I could work on grad school applications while in town for a conference. The double private rooms were perfect. Very basic, Spartan even, but affordable and a good value. Overall a good value and recommended if you want to be in Cairns for relaxation, not partying. More

We stated 4 nights in a twin bed room with ensuited bathroom. The place is clean and the room is spacious, it got a small living room and bedroom which is enough for 3 people to stay. There are double room with much smaller size, so we recommend you request the room no 68 - 74. Only drawback is the... More

Excellent accommodation, great value for money. Pool and surrounding areas all neat and tidy.

Have no doubts of reccomending for you accommodation when visiting Cairns. This comes highly reccomended from two senior ladies who have... More

Arrived into Cairns airport after flying from Singapore, called Carvella and asked if they did free pickups? Of course they did, 15 minutes later we were on our way! Then we arrived to check into our 'Double Bed Private Shared Bathroom' room which we'd booked on hostelworld to be met with 'Hey guys, you get a free upgrade', so they... More

We are both in our early twenties and came to Cairns for the excursion side of things. Due to this we didn't want to stay in a party hostel as we had to get up early every morning we were there. The caravella is about a five minute walk from the main city of Cairns so we didn't get noise... More

This hostel is good for kids but not the best for grown ups. As much as I like happy young people around me, there is too much of a college party atmosphere going on there (read, noise all night). Good thing is that they have twin or double private bedrooms, but the private bedroom area has only one bathroom (with... More

I needed a place for an overnight stay before an early morning flight out of Cairns. I wanted to be close to the city and an easy drive to the airport. I didn't want to be in a loud location though. Caravella is right on the Esplanade, but a block from all the bars and restaurants - so the best... More
