Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I always stay at the YHA Cairns Central because the location is so convenient, right opposite a large, air conditioned shopping centre, buses right outside the door and friendly service but I did find my room hugely over priced, (I stayed in a queen sized room with an ensuite)...$150 a night!! Great facilities, and service but found the price very disappointing; for that price I thought at least a hair dryer, little shampoos, etc and coffee and tea making facilities would have been included

Pool and gardens are very nice. Room was extremely basic and not good value for money. Most staff are friendly but there are some which are very inviting and shouldn't be working in the hospitality industry.

Nice hostel with friendly and helpful staff. Private room is very comfortable and good value for money. Hostel itself is quite social through the events they put on every night but relaxed in the day which makes a good mix.

Very nice and helpful staff. Rooms are quiet, compact and good but private bathroom is not split into shower, toilet and sink like in some other YHAs (e.g. Sydney Harbor). So our family of 4 took longer to get ready in the morning though we did use the common bathrooms also to speed things up.

Cheap place to stay in central Cairns
Pros: prime location (right in the city centre), nice pool, big kitchen, aircon in dorms works very well, parking available on site (paid). Cons: reception isn't 24h, which means you won't be able to leave your luggage at the hostel if you checkout early in the morning to go to the boat tours. Toilets ran out of paper, bunk bed is very squeaky, no individual light, no individual power point by the bed, lots of older people (over 50) staying long term (which breaks the youth hostel atmosphere in my view)
