Quiet at night. Clean rooms and shared spaces. Great value. Plenty of outdoor space. Really friendly staff.

There were many issues about the hostel but the main areas was that air con system in the room wasn't working properly. Luckily it wasn't warm so the open windows surficed. I came to tell reception twice and nothing was done. The bathrooms were unclean and unsanitary through the whole time I was there. The cleaners closed the area to be cleaned but I went in after it was open again and it looked exactly the same. So obviously the cleaners just weren't doing a good job of cleaning the area properly. There was so much dirt and filth in the floors, sink basins and showers that it made me feel sick. And this isn't a dramatisation. The kitchen was too small with too many people trying to cook at one time that this will become a safety hazard eventually. There weren't enough hooks to hang bags and mine I usually had to search half an hour before finding again as it had normally got pushed to the back. I did report these issues to reception and was told that the bathrooms are cleaned every day and a deep clean is carried out once a week, but I have little evidence of this. Overall, the customer care seems to be overlooked and, as a result, the hostel has become an unsafe and unsanitary environment. I hope it can change, but I highly doubt it as all they seem to care about is profit. I will never stay here again and have since moved hostels into a much better one.

I tried checking in on the 17th of April I Booked through hostel world paid deposit amount went to check in and was refused check in because I don’t have a credit card have stayed here off and on for 6-7 years never needed it before but be advised that has change a very arrogant girl told me that even tho I stayed a month previously I wasn’t allowed to check in after working all day and driving 4 hours I wasn’t allowed greeted with no help and a miserable situation I then went and had to pay again to stay at Gillian’s and had no issues sad to say that after tell people to stay here for years I will not be anymore asked to see this new credit card policy and was told she could not provide it then told me to leave and that she wouldn’t bother her night manager with it obviously there is little care for others and is genuinely disappointing to see that that is the quality of service

Had a lovely time at summer house cairns very chill vibe relaxing in hammocks playing ping pong escaping the bustle of cairns. Also very easy access to the airport at the end of my trip to fly out would recommend

I wouldn’t even stay here for free. The kitchen never gets cleaned and even if you’re lucky to have 5 cm to make some food you have to HIRE cutlery that’s dirty with leftovers stuck into the plastic mugs. The staff is also not helpful at all. We arrived at 11 pm, tired after a long bus trip and even if there was three people in the reception, only one was helping people while the others slept with their eyes open, not kidding. The charge a deposit in case you loose the key card but don’t tell you that you have to bring back a small plastic bracelet. So if you loose that you owe them 20$ And don’t even get me started on the showers. There’s toilets under the shower so be prepared with flip flops if you don’t want to stand in brown water… cockroaches everywhere as well🤩 never coming back byeee

Another business that profits from the housing crisis by participating in micro aggressive behaviour such as intentionally misgendering paying customers and fake coughing aimed at disturbing someone’s long and hard fought inner peace.
