Mumma's Hostel Cairns

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. I accidentally only booked for one night, so I emailed to inquire about an additional booking and they responded immediately. They also provided bath towels and blankets, which was great (I think it was free). The bathroom had a hair straightener, curling iron, and hairdryer. Check-in is at 10 AM, so if you check out before that, you need to strip all the linens and bring them back to the first floor. It was also very helpful that they held my luggage after check-out. The blonde female staff member who handled my check-in, the male staff member who saw me off at check-out with a 'Take care~ 👋🏻' in Japanese, and the staff member or guest who helped me when I was lost looking for my room – everyone was kind!

I had to extend my stay for another night quite suddenly and booked this place. The front desk staff were friendly, and they lent me bath towels and blankets, which was just great!

I arrived in Cairns around 11 PM on a flight from Sydney, so I chose to stay here for two nights because they accept check-ins until 11:30 PM and the reviews were excellent. The entrance is set back slightly from the road, and there's an intercom. The reception area was clean, and a kind woman at the front desk used her phone to translate from English to Japanese while explaining everything thoroughly for my check-in. I stayed in a multi-person dormitory-style room. There were two power outlets; one for a personal reading light, and the other was free to use. As explained at reception, the air conditioning worked very well. If you get cold easily, you might want to rent an extra blanket. The shower rooms, toilets, and washbasins were clean and convenient to use. When I mentioned I'd be leaving the hotel before reception opened for a tour, they kindly explained the check-out procedure (put the linen in a designated basket and drop the key card in the post box). This was my first time staying in a dormitory-style hotel, but my roommates were quiet at night, making for a comfortable stay. It's a great hotel with affordable accommodation fees.

The location is great, very close to Cairns city center, so you can walk everywhere. It's also not noisy. Just remember to bring your own shampoo and other toiletries, as the bathroom doesn't provide them. Highly recommended for a Cairns trip.

Everything was very clean, and the service was very friendly. I had an electrical issue, and they fixed it right away. The other guests were also very nice. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom, it's highly recommended!

My partner and I stayed here. The receptionist was very kind and helpful, which we really appreciated. The common areas were also very clean and easy to use, with free-to-use desks and a ping-pong table. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, which was delicious. We would love to stay here again!
