Cairns North Hostels

Good but aging hotel, about 20 minutes easy walk to the harbour. Super comfortable and wide bed, very good breakfast. We were completely satisfied. Due to high humidity, you can't get your bathing suits dry on the balcony, even clothes in the suitcase got a bit of moisture - but it's not the hotel's fault.

Service upon arrival was great, and stayed that way from all staff the 4 nights we stayed here. 3 of us stayed in a 2 bedroom self contained apartment. Well appointed, tidy and clean. Large shower and bathroom. only gripe was water pressure and temperature, both fluctuated considerably, but liveable! Scones every morning. Very good value for money, will stay again

The photos provided by the operators are extremely deceptive. The accomodation is old and run down. The shower tiles were painted at some stage, and it is now peeling off both the floor and the walls. The “updated” vanity basin and tap are poorly sizes and you are unable to fully wash your face due to the shape and size of the basin with a shorter necked faucet . There is no complete enclosure for water in the shower resulting in you flooding the bathroom each time you shower- we ended up using the common showers in the passageway to attempt keep our room dry. The toilet paper is only single ply so bring your own if you decide to stay here !! Our towels and sheets had stains on them and the pillows are flat and lumpy. I wouldn’t swim in the pool unless you’ve had your latest tetanus shots. We were followed back to the accommodation by a slightly hostile homeless person one night which was slightly unnerving for our teenage daughters. The nicest part of this accommodation is the outdoor BBQ area. The breakfast provided smelt ok, but we decided to eat at the cafe at the marina each day as we were heading out to the reef and islands anyways. We decided to stay here and save money as generally we are out during the day and only need a comfortable bed and a clean shower- next time we will be going back to our regular accommodation closer to the Esplanade.

The room here was good but we decided quite quickly to leave as the regular clientele were getting noisier and it was only 4pm.There were a lot of people loitering and apparently they were asked to leave by management. Also had a family member who had booked a room only to be told his room had an issue with the plumbing and it was suggested he sleep in our room, we should have left then in retrospect not 1 1/2 later

Hotel location is good, there is a water park opposite. It's not too far to walk to the city center. There is a charge for parking, and residents are unavoidable. It is okay to go in and out for 13 Australian dollars a day.

Stayed here for 2 nights over easter. Chose a King room and on arrival were upgraded to a King Suite on Level 5. View across to Cairns and up to the mountains was very relaxing and with a largish lounge area separate to the King bedroom there is plenty of room to relax if it is an extended stay. For those who like the exercise its not s huge walk into the city especially if you go a few blocks to the foreshore parklands and wander along that way. Busses (quite a few) run along Sheridan Street as an alternate and a taxi ride is only a few $. Airport is also a short taxi trip and the hotel will have one outside within minutes as they did for us a couple of times. Hotel staff are very helpful and the restaurant serve very good meals. We ate there 3 times for evening meals. Next door is Dunwoody's Hotel which offers a great alternate for an evening meal or a nights entertainment (once their renovations are complete).

Not at all like the pictures on the net. Aptmt lacking basic kitchen utensils like oven, microwave/serving bowls, cutting implements etc. No A/C in living area. Only the rooms had old style A/C & fans which hadn’t been cleaned. 1x 2 seater couch for 6. No double bed w/bunk. Just 4 bunk beds. Backpacker’s dream over the main flight path to Cairns Airport. Not for adults on holidays. Won’t be staying here again. Pool & spa was a good bonus, although warm water. Unfortunately, we will not be staying here again.

Waren 3 Nächte und auch nur zum Schlafen dort, daher vollkommen ausreichend. Zimmer war sehr groß, viel Platz, große Dusche und einen Balkon. Pool haben wir nicht benutzt. Personal sehr freundlich Zimmer könnte etwas sauberer sein. Es war jedoch klar, dass erst ab dem 2. Tag gereinigt wird. Bei uns lag das kleine tote Krabbelvieh immer noch am selben Ort neben dem Nachttisch, obwohl die Betten gemacht waren. Man hätte es also sehen müssen. Aber gut. Wie gesagt, uns hat es wegen den 3x Schalfen nicht gestört. Frühstück war auch in Ordnung, denke es findet jeder etwas. Toast, Brötchen, Joghurt, Obstsalat, Kaffee, Tee, Cornflakes, Säfte, Marmelade, Honig... usw. In die Stadt sind es ca 15 min Fußweg. Da direkt nebenan ein Krankenhaus ist, ist 2x der Helikopter gelandet aber ansonsten haben wir kaum Sirenen gehört. Würden wieder dort hin gehen. Achja und das balinesische Restaurant (morgens der Frühstücksraum) ist super lecker und immer voll gewesen, daher am besten vorher reservieren. Habe dazu eine extra Bewertung geschrieben
