My partner and I stayed at this hostel for 2 and a half months and it truly felt like home. The spacious and comfortable room, along with the peaceful ambiance created by the palm tree-surrounded pool, made our stay delightful. The incredible people we met, including the enthusiastic and environmentally conscious host Roz, and the owner Bob with his fascinating stories, made it incredibly hard to leave. The location was perfect - just far enough from the city hub to enjoy tranquility, yet within walking distance to all the attractions. A special shoutout to Pickles the cat and the cheerful long-term guests.
I highly recommend this hotel.

The atmosphere at this hostel was amazing! the common areas were cozy and inviting, and I loved being surrounded by trees and nature. the fact that the hostel had a pool was a major plus, especially during the hot summer days. the location was ideal. It was just a short walk from the city center, which made it convenient to explore all the attractions and restaurants in the area.
That the noise traveled easily between rooms and floors. Another minor drawback was the small size of the pool, which made it more suitable for children rather than adults looking to swim laps.

The location of the hostel is convenient, being just a short walk from the city center and the central station. the staff is friendly and easygoing, making the stay stress-free. the hostel offers a fully equipped kitchen with free tea, coffee, and seasonings, providing everything you need for cooking.
The check-in process was frustrating and delayed, causing inconvenience with heavy luggage and no apology from the manager.

Mind-blowing location, close to shopping central and train station. Super cool garden that keeps you comfortable even in the daytime heat. Jaw-droppingly quiet and peaceful, perfect for a good night's sleep after 11pm. Utterly well-equipped kitchen with free oil, seasonings, tea, coffee, and chocolate. Awesome and welcoming staff who instantly make you feel at home. Cozy common area with a fantastic atmosphere for easy socializing. The cherry on top: They have an adorable cat!
Super cheap hostel with comfy beds, although one guy played with the air conditioning. Free Wi-Fi, off-site car park, shared kitchen, air conditioning, laundry.

I recently stayed at City Backpackers in Cairns for a few nights and had a fantastic experience. The room was spacious and had a comfortable sofa and double bed. The cleanliness of the toilets was impressive, and the showers had great water pressure. The common area had excellent WiFi, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the city center with its shops, restaurants, and bars. One unique aspect was the presence of a lovely cat at the hostel, which added a nice touch. Additionally, the hostel offers tours that can be arranged through reception.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.
