if the staff ever bothered to tilt their noses down a little they might notice how much they stink. which is a pity because this was one of the cleaner hostels i stayed at. more

I can not say a bad thing about YHA Cairns. It is ideal for any backpacker or lower budget traveler visiting Cairns. The hostel has a nice swimming pool, a great kitchen and social area, (perfect if you are a solo traveler, this place makes it so easy to meet people!) internet access (inc wifi), tv room, booking office for... more

This is great place to stay for a quiet night's sleep in a busy town. It is just far enough away from the main bar area. It is like a mini holiday resort with lovely pool and jacuzzi central to the rooms. The kitchen is clean and well equipped but staff need to enforce rules about people cleaning and putting... more

As you would expect the facilities at the Cairns YHA are very good. A large, clean & well equipped kitchen, internet, TV room, laundry, pool, spa & travel centre. We stayed in the 8 bed dorm and the 4 bed dorm, priced $24 & $26 respectively. The 8 bed dorm was a decent size but overlooks the communal courtyard area... more

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

We arrived in Cairns by bus on a very wet evening and got a taxi to the hostel. Its only about a 10 minute walk from the Wharf bus depot but it was raining a lot. The hostel has a nice feel to it, helped by the swimming pool and palm trees growing in the courtyard area. We got a... more

This hostel is such a nice hostel and we found our stay brilliant. The staff were very friendly and helpful in everything we needed. 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
