Rent och bästa läget
rent och välskött vandrarhem med bästa läget i Cairns . Sköna sängar men lite högt ljud på aircondition. Fritt wi-fi inom ett område som fungerar bra

便利な場所にあり、とても綺麗だし、静かだし、部屋も共有スペースも明るくてよかったけど、シャワー室が狭くてシャンプーなどを置くスペースがないのとシャワーノブが上で固定されてて動かないのが残念！

Liked: Room comfort
그닥 멋진 숙소는 아니었어요 It wasn't that nice.
4인실을 사용했는데 1층 침대와 2층 침대 사이 높이가 낮아 허리를 못 폈어요. 제 기준에 공용시설, 화장실, 방 등 전반적으로 멋진 숙소는 아니었습니다. 저렴한 이유가 확실했어요. 장점은 저렴한 가격, 라군, 선착장과 가까운 거리와 친절한 데스크 안내. Totally, It wasn't that nice. I was uncomfortable on my bed because between 1F and 2F of the bed, the height was too low so I couldn't spread my back. On one hand, the good things are kind staff, cheap price and close distance to the main places.

It was as clean and comfortable and all you would expect given the price. Central and easy to walk along the esplanade into the centre - it’s at the quieter end. Staff very helpful and polite. Added bonus of a pool.
