Lovely clean hostel. We stayed in a double en suite room which was great value. The room seemed quite new and the bathroom was exceptionally clean for a hostel! The hostel is well located right opposite Cairns central mall and a few minutes from the main area of town and the Esplanade. Would definitely stay here again if i was... more

A friend and I stayed here in one of the private ensuite doubles in August. Check in was fine, though we had to drag luggage up stairs to get to our room. However, the room cleanliness was not up to par. I stayed in 6 YHAs and 4 other hostels during a month-long trip around Oz and Cairns Central YHA... more

Stayed in a triple room for 4 nights, and a double for 2 nights. A fabulous location for any visit to Cairns! Opposite the Cairns Central shooping mall, and 10 minute walk from the Esplanade. Staff were helpful, although some of them have a chip on their shoulder! Relaxed, laid back and homely atmosphere. more

The location is ok, there's a shopping center across the road with a cinema and a train station at the back, the sea front and harbour is around a 10 minute walk straight through the center... more

We stayed here in early September after a noisy night in another hostel in Cairns. The YHA is only a 10 minute walk to all the main attractions in Cairns. We had a massive family room for the 2 of us so there was plenty of room to spread out! The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen is large and there... more

I stayed two nights in the Cairns central YHA. It was functionally fine. My double room looked a little like a monk's cell, and lacked much in the way of surfaces on which to put my stuff. However, there was airconditioning, which was useful. The kitchen was big enough to accommodate the guests, but only two of the cookers were... more

The Cairns Central YHA provided a clean and basic base from which to explore and recharge before heading further up the coast. Located next to a huge shopping mall it is the perfect place to pick up surf essentials before heading home! The staff were very friendly and were happy to book trips and future stays. The laudry facilities were... more
