Hostels in Cairns

Super clean hostel with all the facilities you need: multiple kitchens and living areas surrounding a lovely garden. Lots of spaces to chill out and meet others. Felt at home straight away.

This is an absolutely beautiful hostel. You feel like you’re staying in the trees. The staff there are lovely, Tim, the owner, is so helpful with booking tours and helping to organise an extension on your stay when you inevitably decide you can’t leave just yet! The kitchen has lots of utensils and everything you’d need. There is hobs, a microwave and an air fryer for cooking. No oven, but I didn’t feel I needed it because of the air fryer. The kitchen was clean, people were very respectful with doing their washing up and cleaning up after themselves. The bathrooms were also clean, there were 3 showers dotted across the hostel so usually you can find one to use even when it’s during busy times in the morning or evening. The toilets are separate, so you don’t need to worry about all of the bathrooms being taken up by people showering. The outside area is such a lovely environment. There is a BBQ area, lots of areas to relax and chill out. A very cute little pool that is open until 9pm. The staff often play gentle quiet music during the day around the pool, which just makes the space feel even nicer. The rooms themselves are so adorable. I stayed in both the 5 bed and the 4 bed dorm on different occasions and both are lovely. The girls I shared with were fun and welcoming, it felt like a very cute girly experience sharing a room with them. There are no bunkbeds so it feels really spacious. People are quiet and respectful with noise. This is the perfect place to stay if you’re like me and didn’t want to be in a party hostel but still like the idea of meeting friendly people. I made 5/6 new friends here, which made the whole experience even more fun, but you can also quite happily exist on the solo, and everyone will be friendly either way! I would highly recommend staying here, don’t look any further!! I would come back in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for a great stay Tim!! :)

Great atmosphere at the travellers paradise. Peter, who runs the place, is very caring and a great host. We felt very welcome! We definitely recommend staying there!

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and everything was well-organized. A special thank you to Carmen and Javi at the reception — they were incredibly kind, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, offering great tips and assistance whenever I needed it. I truly appreciate their warm hospitality and will definitely recommend this place to other travelers
