it's quite clean, the service is good, and it's very convenient to eat around. Next time I come to Cairns, I will stay in Cairns. The surrounding bars are very lively！

The room was very clean and the bed had a power outlet and was comfortable. There was a club right in front of the hostel and many people were using it at night. The club also quieted down at midnight so you could get plenty of sleep.

On the first day, it was raining, so the futon was very damp! lol
The humid bed was the most I've ever had! lol
It was so disgusting I couldn't sleep! lol
I think it's because of the local conditions, so I don't think it can be helped! lol
On the second day, it was normal! It bothered me, but it was sunny so I opened the balcony door to ventilate? I was creative♪
It seems like there's a club? next door and it's really lively!
I didn't mind!
There were no towels, but you can ask at the front desk and they will lend you one! There was no hair dryer or anything! (I brought dry shampoo with me, so maybe they have one if you ask!)
There was a Japanese person at the front desk so I felt safe♪
Other than the dampness of the futon, it was really normal! I think it's the guesthouse♪
