Razoável, o quarto em si era bom, mas esquentava muito durante o dia e o ar era daqueles antigos e não dava conta durante o dia. O hostel em si é muito bem localizado, mas tinha muita barata, ainda mais na cozinha. Os banheiros também não era dos mais limpos, mas tudo ok

Cairns city backpackers was the most welcomed and comfortable I felt in any backpackers in cairns. One of the guys who works there, Tripp, was so welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable about the area and overall a great guy to chat to. With two shared kitchens and plenty of shared bathrooms and shower rooms dotted around, I never found myself waiting to grab a shower or use kitchen facilities. Met the loveliest travellers here too and have lots of fond memories playing board games and having a few beers with other travelling folk. Would come back in a heartbeat. Five minute walk into town, 15 minute walk to esplanade and lovely lagoon swimming area. Also check out down under pool bar for great beer, free pool and a good laugh.

Close to shops and city. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Shared toilet was always clean. I have stayed here twice the communal areas (tv room, kitchen, laundry, outside area) cleanliness all depends on the backpackers there at the time

The pool is very small, but clean. We had a double room which had just a bed in it. The room was hot, dirty and we were glad moving out again. Staff is very nice.
