I arrived outside of check-in hours, which I called in advance about. They give you a key via a lock, unfortunately the key did not work for my room. It was after midnight so I could not reach anyone via e-mail or phone. Eventuelly another guest helped me and directed me to the call for after hours help outside the gate. Then, they re-activated my key. It was resolved, but very stressful and annoying to a female solo traveller. Also no apologies or anything. I specifically called in advance to make sure check-in would still be possible and still this happens.

The directions to my specific room were also a bit unclear. There was a sign for room Numbers 100-200 but the sign for 300-400 was more hidden.

I booked a private room. Room was clean enough for a hostel and there is AC. Bed not great, bit lumpy, but fine for a hostel. Glad I only stayed one night (or half a night realistically).

Shower was okay.

Just arrive during check-in hours and you should be fine. It seems like a decent, clean hostel in a good central location. I am assuming that I just got unlucky with the key.

Booked through Trip.com and had the breakfast option. Buffet style, there was bread, cupcakes, croissants, instant coffee and tea, cereal and milk + soy milk option & juice.
Loved the stay!! Would recommend.

Late check-in was allowed and a special arrangement for late check-in was made by the duty manager. Appreciated.

The location is good, which is next to Cairns train station. Very convenient if you will take the Kuranda train at Cairns train station at 0830. Also, it’s a walkable distance between the hostel and reef fleet terminal.

Booked a room for 2. The room was clean and spacious in which a few cabinets were provided. Your own padlock was required if you wanted to lock the cabinets. No Hairdryer was provided as a hostel.
There were a small swimming pool, big common area and a big kitchen.

The room was pretty clean, however was left unimpressed when I came across a cockroach in the shower. The space was just alright for the two of us. The breakfast was very basic and they didn't start on time at 7am as advertised.
